If you happen to find yourself in Japan this January, try to drop by the Tokyo Auto Salon 2019 at Makuhari Messe to see the all-new Mazda3 in the flesh for the very first time in Asia.

Fresh from its debut in Los Angeles, Mazda wasted no time and customized their global best-seller in time for Japan’s biggest aftermarket show. Dubbed the Mazda3 Custom Style, this 5-door model is our first glimpse of what a potential Mazda3 Speed would look like once it lands here in the Philippines. It sports a high-gloss black wrap-around body kit just like the current Mazda3 Speed as 18-inch forged black BBS wheels.


The set of teaser photos also reveal more of the new color exclusive to the 5-door hatchback: Polymetal Gray Metallic.

After the Tokyo Auto Salon 2019, the Mazda3 Custom Style will also head to the Osaka Auto Messe in February. It will be shown alongside the Mazda MX-5 Drop-Head Coupe Concept as well the CX-5 and CX-8 dressed up in 2019 accessories.
