The last Mazda 3 update was back in 2013 which means it is about time we see the Mazda 3 get an upgraded exterior design.
Before we got to see the new design on the current Mazda 3, we got to see the upgrades the Mazda Axela was getting over in Japan. The Mazda 3 ended up coming in with an identical design so it is safe to say that the same thing will happen this time as well.
Carscoop managed to get hold of what they believe is the new brochure for the upcoming Mazda Axela in Japan. From what we can see, it looks like the Mazda Axela will be coming in with an upgraded grille and headlight design. They also made some changes to the bumper.
The Mazda Axela was also fitted with a set of turning lights. Chances are, teh upcoming Mazda 3 will also come in looking like the upgraded Axela. You can check out the image here.
