The two-litre engine now has sequential valve timing and a variable induction manifold as well as a similar electronic volume control, for improved torque across the rev range.
The body has been stiffened around key points for sportier handling and ride quality; while the Macpherson strut front suspension has been is retuned to reduce high-speed under steer.
New, larger-diameter dampers are specified to speed up reaction to small inputs which, Mazda says, improves initial roll control and gives a flatter ride feel.
Front crash bags are standard; side and curtain airbags are available for certain models. An auto light system and rain-sensing wiper systems are also available.
The shape of the steering column adjustment lever has been modified to reduce the possibility of injury to the driver's knees in a collision, and there's impact-absorbing material inside the steering column.
A collapsible brake pedal helps reduce the risk of lower leg injury in a frontal collision.
