They say good things come in small packages, and the 2025 Mazda3 is no exception to that rule. Available as a compact sedan or hatchback, the Mazda3 impresses drivers with its premium interior, exciting driving dynamics, and innovative tech features.
4 Notable Features of the 2025 Mazda3
1. Thrilling Powertrain Choices
No matter what your driving style, the Mazda3 has a powertrain that’s perfect for you. Its standard engine is a SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter 4-cylinder that makes 191 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque and averages up to an EPA-estimated 31 MPG combined. Drivers who want even more power can choose the available Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine for 250 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque, with up to 27 MPG combined efficiency.
To keep you in control of that power, the Mazda3 comes with G-Vectoring Control Plus for added stability through curves. Available i-ACTIV AWD helps you navigate inclement weather with confidence by distributing power to the wheels to maximize traction. Although most models come with a 6-speed electronically controlled sport automatic transmission, the Mazda3 Hatchback is also available with a 6-speed manual transmission.
2. Rear Cross Traffic Alert
The Mazda3 has received a TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, the IIHS’s top safety rating, so you can drive with confidence. Its advanced safety features, including Rear Cross Traffic Alert, provide even more peace of mind. When you’re backing out into a road or parking lot lane, this system scans the lane behind you for vehicles approaching from either side. Its warnings give you ample time to apply the brakes and prevent a collision if a vehicle is detected.
3. Mazda Connected Services
With the Mazda3’s included 1-year subscription to Mazda Connected Services, you don’t need to be near your car to start the engine or lock the doors. This service and the MyMazda App make it easy to perform these tasks right from your smartphone. If you can’t remember where you parked, you can even use the app to find your Mazda3’s location.
4. Sophisticated Cabin
Supportive sport seats inside the Mazda3’s cabin keep you comfortable on long drives and place you in the perfect position to grip the steering wheel and keep your eyes on the road ahead. The cabin gives passengers the first-class treatment with its elegant design and premium materials. Depending on the trim you choose, you’ll also enjoy heated front seats, perforated leather-trimmed seats, and a dual-zone automatic climate control system with separate temperature settings for the driver and front passenger.
