Mazda continues to offer a broad number of configurations for the car, including two body styles, all-wheel drive (AWD) availability, and a range-topping 2.5 Turbo model. The base 2.5-liter 4-cylinder powertrain produces 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque on 87-octane fuel. It pairs with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) as standard. All-wheel drive becomes available with the 2.5S Preferred trim.
The non-turbo powertrain carries all but the top 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus trim level. Forced induction pushes the 2.5-liter’s output to 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque on 93 octane fuel, or 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque on 87 octane. It comes exclusively with a 6-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
The Mazda3 continues to offer a range of standard driver-assistance features, including blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, rear seat alerts, and adaptive cruise control. Higher trims add traffic sign recognition, and the top Turbo variant offers parking sensors, a 360-degree camera system, and rear cross-traffic braking.
While the on-paper specs don’t look particularly thrilling, the Mazda3 has long been the driver’s choice in its segment, and the available manual transmission on the hatchback makes it a rarity in today’s market. Additionally, the lowest-cost AWD trim comes in at just over $31,000 after the destination charge – a solid price for drivers seeking the enhanced grip that AWD provides.
