Mazda to discontinue Mazda3 saloon in the UK

Mazda is retiring the Mazda3 saloon from its United Kingdom lineup as part of the 2027 model-year update. Moving forward, the hatchback will be the only body style available in the UK market.

The updated range will feature a new Homura Plus trim level, which includes a 12-speaker Bose audio system, black leather upholstery, power seats, a 360-degree view monitor, and exterior LED signature lighting. The UK hatchback will offer a 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G petrol engine producing 140 PS, utilizing cylinder deactivation and M-Hybrid mild-hybrid technology.

While the saloon is being removed in the UK, it remains available in other European markets, including Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Croatia, and Serbia. This suggests that the discontinuation is a market-specific strategy rather than a continent-wide phase-out of the sedan body style.
