blogentry-133713-0-18099300-1464080920_thumb.jpgAccording to Carscoops, a photo of the facelifted Mazda Axela which is otherwise known as the Mazda3, has been leaked. Given that the Mazda3 was launched near the end of 2013, the time is now ripe for a mid-cycle update.

 

As one can see from the photo, the changes to the car looks minimal, with the front of the car receiving a redesigned grill and repositioned logo. The bumper also gets a little refreshing with the signal lights/fog lights being relocated to the air vent area. The exterior mirrors now spot turning signals too.

 

No other details of the car's rear were revealed but judging from how subtle the facelift is, it is safe to expect minimal changes to the rear end too.

Just like the Lancer Ex 1.5, it will be good if the Mz3 1.5 could be 'stroked' to be a 1.6 & torque-tuned.

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
