Introducing the 2025 Mazda3: Style and Performance Perfected

The Spirit of Performance

Mazda’s concept behind the SKYACTIV technology that drives their engines, transmissions, and other components is simple: if systems are designed to work together, they perform better. On the Mazda3, that translates into a highly refined engine that delivers both power and efficiency. The standard 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G motor offers drivers 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, yet still averages 35 mpg highway and 30 mpg combined for excellent efficiency.

An upgraded version of the SKYACTIV-G power plant offers drivers the fun of a dynamic pressure turbocharger and up to 250 horsepower to play with. That powertrain is also paired with i-ACTIV AWD for even better grip on the road, even in foul weather conditions.

The Soul of Style

The Mazda3’s iconic long hood and sleek design has only been refined over time, and the 2025 edition is just as seductive as its forebears. Headlights, taillights, and daytime running lamps are all LED in every trim. Heated side mirrors are standard on all but the entry-level trims, and rain-sensing windshield wipers are the order of the day in almost every trim. The available power sliding-glass moonroof adds an extra touch of style.

Inside, the Mazda3 is no less impressive. The infotainment system is large and unobtrusive, and the multifunction Command dial and physical volume knob are both deeply satisfying interfaces. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility are standard with wireless connectivity available, and seats are available in cloth, leatherette, or full leather trim to meet any buyer’s tastes.

One Smart Car

The Mazda3 is very tech-forward. The infotainment system features voice commands even on the entry-level 2.5 S trim, and is displayed on a full-color display that measures up to 10.25 inches across. A full-color Active Driving Display is available, projecting critical driving information onto the windshield to keep it within the driver’s line of sight.

The Mazda3 also has a full driver assist safety suite to make every drive both safer and more enjoyable. Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go makes highway miles easy by maintaining a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead, even if traffic slows to a crawl.
