The all-new Mazda3 is set to be a popular choice for fleets across the country over the coming months.

Available in two body styles – hatchback and Fastback (saloon) – the Mazda3 has received praise from a number of automotive sector commentators, including KeeResources and Glass’s Information Services.

The Mazda3 will be the manufacturer's third model to feature its advanced SKYACTIV technology – following the Mazda CX-5 and new Mazda6 – which helps to deliver outstanding green performance and safety for all drivers.

Andy Cutler, UK forecasting editor for cars at Glass's Information Services, commented: "If Mazda can put 'bums on seats' and encourage fleet managers and company car drivers to test the car they will find there is not much in the segment with the same combination of performance and price."

The new Mazda3 is set to go on sale in the UK from January 2014. It was first unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year.
