The Mazda3 Sedan
The base-model Mazda3 S offers three exterior color options: Snowflake White Pearl, Jet Black, and Deep Crystal Blue. Higher trims add Soul Red, Platinum Quartz, Machine Gray, and Ceramic to the available options. The base trim comes with power-folding side-view mirrors, a matte-finished front grille, and 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with a silver metallic finish.
The S Sport adds heated mirrors, a glossy-black front grille, and 18-inch black metallic-finished wheels. All models come equipped with LED auto on/off headlights, LED daytime running lights, and LED combination taillights.
The Mazda3 Hatchback
In addition to the glossy-black front grille, the hatchback Mazda3 models feature a matching black rear roof spoiler. The second trim in the lineup incorporates turn-signal indicators into the side-view mirrors and offers rain-sensing front windshield wipers as standard equipment.
The Mazda3’s Mechanical Specifications
Whether you choose the sedan or the hatchback, your Mazda3 will house a SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder DOHC VVT engine with cylinder-deactivation technology. This engine packs a punch with 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 RPM and 4,000 RPM, respectively. Both the hatchback and sedan models come with front-wheel drive, with the hatchback achieving 35 MPG on the highway and the sedan reaching 37.
The VVT valvetrain features four valves per cylinder, and every Mazda3 comes standard with SKYACTIV-Vehicle Dynamics, which includes G-Vectoring Control Plus. This advanced driving system represents the future of driving pleasure, delivering best-in-class handling and stability through subtle adjustments to the brakes, steering, and torque for exceptionally responsive handling. The Mazda3 sedan includes a SKYACTIV-DRIVE six-speed automatic electronically controlled sport transmission, while the hatchback’s SKYACTIV-DRIVE six-speed automatic includes manual and sport modes.
Interior Features
In both the sedan and hatchback Mazda3 lineups, the first trim features sport seats with cloth upholstery, while the second trim upgrades to leatherette upholstery. Every Mazda3 cabin this year seats five occupants and comes equipped with a six-speaker Mazda Harmonic Acoustics audio system, integrated Bluetooth, and smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Every Mazda3 boasts an 8.8-inch full-color display screen, which can be controlled through the onboard voice-command software. All models include 911 automatic emergency notifications, Multifunction Commander control, and a one-year trial of Mazda’s Connected Services.
