Bermaz Motor launched an updated Mazda 3 today. There is no change in styling, but the list of features has been expanded. The updates are focused on improving the infotainment and driving aids, more on those later. The biggest change in the updated 2023 Mazda 3’s range in Malaysia is that the base 1.5-litre variant has been dropped.
