2024 Mazda 3

The 2024 Mazda3 comes in two configurations, a hatchback and a sedan. The sedan offers six trims, and the hatchback offers five of these. The 2.5 S trim is only available in the sedan configuration, and it showcases a polished exterior design with shining LED headlights and taillights. Body-colored dual-folding power side mirrors blend seamlessly, and 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels provide a sturdy base. The 2.5 S Select Sport trim features larger 18-inch wheels and adds a gloss Black front grille. The 2.5 S Preferred trim level sports a power-sliding glass moonroof, shark fin antenna, and chrome front grille surround. The 2.5 S Carbon Edition demands attention with its bold Polymetal Gray Metallic exterior paint, black side mirrors, and 18-inch Black Metallic aluminum alloy wheels. The 2.5 Carbon Turbo trim has the same exterior features as the 2.5 S Carbon Edition but comes in Zircon Sand Metallic. The 2.5 S Premium trim level, available on the hatchback configuration, introduces auto-leveling LED headlights, an adaptive front lighting system, and signature LED daytime running lights. The 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus stands out with signature LED headlights and combination taillights, a windshield wiper de-icer, and a shark fin antenna.

A SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter dual overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine powers the standard trims of the 2024 Mazda3 sedan, offering top-notch fuel efficiency with Cylinder Deactivation and Variable Valve Timing. The 2.5 Carbon Turbo trim and above come with a majestic 250-horsepower SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine, delivering power, performance, and unparalleled thrills with every rev.

The 2024 Mazda3's performance shines. A sport-tuned suspension ensures comfortable rides while delivering stellar handling, regardless of the terrain. On the fuel efficiency front, it has an admirable average of 23 mpg in city limits and 31 mpg on the highway, although this varies depending on the trim level. It tailors to individual driving preferences, with front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive options, enhancing its versatility.

The 2024 Mazda3's interior surpasses comfort and style expectations. It checks off the layout and design area, blending practicality and creative ingenuity. It's roomy enough for five passengers and functional, thanks to the 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback. The interior showcases front seat heating in the 2.5 S Preferred trim and above, dual-zone automatic climate control in all but the base trim, steering-wheel-mounted controls, and power windows and door locks.

Starting with the basic provision of dual front air bags, the model enhances safety through seat-mounted front and rear side-impact air bags and side-impact air curtains. It also has driver and front passenger knee air bags for efficient safeguarding. A three-point safety belt on every seat reinforces safety, and the front and rear safety belt pretensioners come with force limiters. Value-add features, such as Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Lane-keep Assist, Mazda Radar Cruise Control, and Driver Attention Alert, accentuate safety.
