Performance
Most 2023 Mazda3 models find their motivation in Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter engine making 191 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque-an increase of 4hp over the previous model year. Mazda's Skyactiv-Vehicle Dynamics system with G-Vectoring Control Plus gives the Mazda3 impressive agility in the curves and corners. And the innovative Skyactiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission helps maintain the ideal rev range for improved responsiveness and efficiency.
Models with the available Skyactiv-G 2.5 Turbo get a boost to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft with premium 93-octane fuel, or 227 hp/310 lb-ft with regular 87-octane. For enhanced handling and control in inclement conditions, Mazda's i-Activ AWD system is available with the Carbon Edition and standard on Turbo models.
Interior
The Mazda3 demonstrates the minimalistic elegance of Mazda's KODO design language. The upscale cabin offers roomy accommodations, high-quality materials, attractive detailing, and nicely cushioned and supportive seats for long-distance comfort. If you're looking for extra practicality for your daily drives, the Mazda3 hatchback features a roomy storage area with 20.1 cubic feet for your luggage, groceries, or gear-expandable to 47.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
