First Look: 2010 Mazda3 Hatchback

Last week we fawned over Mazda’s redesigned 2010 Mazda3 sedan. Now the company is showing off the hatchback version online ahead of the car’s official unveiling in Bologna, Italy, next week. As in the previous generation, the hatchback comes only with the top engine offered for the sedan, which in this case is a 167-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder.

The hatch looks good, but with only two shots that partially show the rear end, it’s hard to tell if it’ll be as attractive as the sedan. Check out more photos below and let us know what you think. Also, check out our Mazda3 index page for more news on the 2010 model.
