SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE

Overview

Mazda is one of the few automakers still creating cars geared towards the driver, and the Mazda3 is no exception. Designed around the human body, the interior of the 2020 Mazda3 envelops the driver and passengers in comfort. Styling cues in this sedan aren’t just appealing, they feature fuel-saving aerodynamics. Every aspect of the 2020 Mazda3, even down to the architecture of the chassis, is focused on the driver and the driving experience.

The Perfect Ride For…

The driver who appreciates the journey. The Mazda3 is a sedan looking to revive the joy of driving in a world where cars have become a utility, rather than a source of joy. Channeling the feeling of freedom and excitement associated with driving, this stylish sedan offers sporty performance and handling, a high-quality feel, and safety features to inspire confidence.

Performance

For the automaker’s team of engineers, it’s not just about getting from one place to another, but about enjoying the ride on the way. That's why the 2020 Mazda3 features a tried and true engine that toes the perfect balance between efficiency and performance. The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine produces up to 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque, which is more than enough power to navigate traffic and merge onto highways with ease. Paired with the SKYACTIV®-DRIVE 6-speed electronically controlled sport automatic transmission, you'll get to harness every bit of that power while you're cruising around town. 

SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control Plus manages power delivery and braking, so you never have to worry if you get a little aggressive behind the wheel. The Mazda3 will smooth out your inputs and create increased confidence. If you need more traction than can be offered by the standard front-wheel drive, available i-Activ® All-wheel drive may speak to you. By sending the power to the wheels with the most traction, this intelligent system can give you more capability than you've come to expect from a sedan.

Key Features

Design

The sedan and hatchback versions of the Mazda3 reflect different design directions, which means there is a Mazda3 for everyone. While the sedan exudes more refinement and maturity, the hatchback evokes more excitement and adventure. Minimalistic headlights adorn the front of both variants, and a wide, muscular stance gives the 2020 Mazda3 its sporty appearance.

The minimalist approach is echoed on the interior design, with artful simplicity in the chiseled dashboard and center console, all of which are oriented towards the driver. Simplicity doesn’t sacrifice a luxe feel, though. Cloth and leather options both complement the gloss black accents and understated technology features. The driving position was carefully designed to ensure the best possible experience for the driver, making long trips and morning commutes less taxing.

Safety

With both passive and active safety features, the Mazda3 is always making sure you’re safe on the road. Features like robust construction, thoughtfully placed airbags, and a front end designed to soften the impact for pedestrians in the event of an accident are just the beginning. Available Front Cross Traffic Alert, Cruising & Traffic Support, Smart Brake Support, and driver monitoring technology features all keep an eye on your surroundings, as well as driver alertness. This sedan is always on the lookout for possible problems out on the road.

Alternative Options

If you’re looking for something with a little more space, the Mazda CX-30 offers the same well-mannered handling of a sedan with the utility of an SUV. Still not enough space? The CX-9 is a full-size SUV with enough room for the whole family without sacrificing the style and performance of a Mazda.
