Mazda 3 gets new diesel engine

    * other 1.6-litre turbodiesel from January
    * More herculean and more economical
    * Averages 64.2mpg and emits 117g/km CO2

Our  favourite version of the Mazda three will have a new engine from January. The altered 1.6-litre turbodiesel unit is both more powerful and more economic than the engine it replaces.

With 113bhp – up from the electric current 1.6-litre unit's 107bhp – the causal agent meets Euro V emissions regulations and comes with a six-speed manual transmission.

Its modal economy of 64.2mpg and CO2 emissions of 117g/km typify improvements of 1.4mpg and 2g/km compared with the previous theoretical account. The new figures don't change the car's company car tax indebtedness because it remains in the lowest tax band for diesel-engined cars (13%) and incurs zero road tax for the first year after registration.

There's no  change in price with 1.6D-engined cars costing from £16505 in TS shipshape. The TS2-trimmed car is expected to be the biggest seller and monetary value £17705. As a result monthly company car tax bills for a basic-rate payer will be £36 on the TS model and £38 on TS2 cars.

The fresh models will be available from January
