Mazda3 iStop puts engine in pause mode
Mazda boasts that its new Mazda3 range has a "more powerful and emotional" bodystyle and comes in hatchback and saloon models
Article Summary
One of the bug bears of driving in city traffic – apart from the time delays – is the often deplorable fuel consumption of stop-start driving. To help overcome this, the new Mazda3 2.0 Sport comes with iStop technology which pauses the engine (rather than stopping it), which the company says delivers increased fuel economy while reducing CO2 emissions.
