2023 Mazda 3

The 2023 Mazda3 lineup consists of six trim levels, starting with the 2.5 S, which blends flowing lines and elegant curves with LED headlights, a matte-finished grille, and 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels with a Silver Metallic finish. On the 2.5 S Select, you'll find Silver Metallic wheels measuring 18 inches. With the 2.5 S Preferred, you can take advantage of a power-sliding glass moonroof. The 2.5 S Carbon Edition features Polymetal Gray Metallic paint and 18-inch wheels with a Black Metallic finish, while the 2.5 Premium gets an adaptive front lighting system. Last but not least is the 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus, featuring sleek black accents and a roof-mounted "shark fin" antenna.

The 2023 Mazda3's base engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder capable of producing 191 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. If you go with 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. Both engines are exceptionally efficient, helping lower trims get up to 37 mpg on the highway, while the 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus can get up to 32 mpg on the highway.

Every 2023 Mazda3 comes equipped with Mazda's SKYACTIV-DRIVE six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission that improves response and output in both engines. The system also delivers seamless gear shifts for smoother acceleration. Lower trim levels come standard with an intuitive front-wheel-drive system that helps you maneuver through traffic and take tight turns. Mazda also offers the i-ACTIV all-wheel-drive system, a standard feature in the 2.5 S Premium and 2.5 Premium Plus. This system continuously reads the road to distribute power across all four wheels depending on weather and driving conditions. Independent front and rear suspensions minimize the impact of bumps and road flaws for a more comfortable ride.

The 2023 Mazda3 provides ample space for you and five passengers. When you enter the Mazda3, you'll notice how the cockpit flows with your movements, puts everything quickly within reach, and gives you excellent road views. The 2.5 S features cloth upholstery, while mid-level trims come with leatherette seating surfaces. Upper trims, starting with the Carbon Edition, feature luxurious leather seating surfaces. Available amenities include front seats with heating, a driver's seat with lumbar and memory settings, and a heated steering wheel. The Mazda3 supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can access your favorite entertainment and navigation apps.

The 2023 Mazda3 features smart brake support, which can sense potential collisions with vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians and apply the brakes when necessary. Blind-spot monitoring helps you make safer lane changes, while lane-keep assist helps you avoid unintentional drifting. You can also take advantage of parking sensors, a rear cross-traffic alert, and a 360-degree view monitor. An advanced airbag system adds another layer of protection.
