2022 Mazda3

The first thing you'll notice about the Mazda3 is that it looks in motion, even when standing still. This distinctive appearance results from striking curves and angles that uniquely capture light. The 2.0 Sedan features a matte-finish grille flanked by beautifully sculpted LED headlights and is available in Jet Black Mica and Deep Crystal Blue Mica. The 2.5 S adds a Snowflake White Pearl color to the lineup. The Select sits atop 18-inch wheels and lets you take advantage of a keyless entry system. With the Preferred, a power-sliding glass moonroof treats you to stunning views and refreshing breezes. The Carbon Edition comes in Polymetal Gray and features 18-inch black alloy wheels, while the Premium adds an adaptive front-lighting system. On the 2.5 Turbo, you'll find 18-inch black alloy wheels, and on the 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus, you'll notice a black rear lip spoiler.

The Mazda3 is just as powerful as it is stylish. The 2.0 Sedan features a 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder engine capable of producing 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. Mid-level trims come equipped with a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder that puts out 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. If you go with the 2.5 Turbo or the 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus, you'll enjoy a 2.5-liter Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine that generates 227 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. With that much power, the Turbo models can go from zero to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds.

No matter what Mazda3 trim you choose, you'll experience superior performance each time you take the wheel. All models feature Mazda's SKYACTIV-DRIVE six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission that seamlessly shifts through gears for smooth acceleration and effortless handling. The G-Vectoring Control Plus system responds to steering inputs by adjusting torque and braking for more stability. Lower trims come with front-wheel drive, while the Turbo models feature i-ACTIV all-wheel drive.

When creating the Mazda3's cockpit, Mazda designers studied how the human body moves and reacts to the sensations of touch, sight, and sound. By doing so, they were able to construct a cockpit that is in perfect symmetry with your motions and delivers the ultimate support. Sophisticated shades of gray, beige, and red are pleasing to the eye, while soft-touch materials are comfy and provide incredible durability. With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, you can stream music, audiobooks, and playlists, which will sound fantastic on the available 12-speaker Bose audio system.

The 2022 Mazda3 wouldn't be complete without its array of safety features. The traffic jam assist system teams up with radar cruise control to give you low-speed steering assistance. When you're parking your Mazda3, front and rear parking sensors will warn you when you're getting too close to vehicles and other objects. Other features include a 360-degree monitor, a rear cross-traffic alert, and smart brake support.
