All-New 2025 Mazda 3 : Its distinctive styling and refinement make it even more enjoyable to ride.

If you choose a car based on your emotions rather than your mind, the Mazda 3 may be the one for you. This little automobile, which is available in both sedan and hatchback versions, is considerably eclipsed by its competitors on paper. However, it stands out in a few important areas: It's fun to look at and drive. The Mazda 3's interior is another standout feature, since it incorporates higher-quality materials than are generally seen in its class. Mazda has made the base 2.5 S model available in the hatchback body form starting in 2025. Furthermore, 2.5 S Select Sport versions and higher have a new Alexa Built-in AI speech assistant, which can adjust the temperature in your car or change the radio station using voice commands. It can also link to Alexa-enabled smart gadgets in your house. Models with Mazda's onboard navigation system will now receive the most recent map data via over-the-air upgrades. Mazda has always valued good driving dynamics, and the Mazda 3 is no exception. When the road becomes less straight, the Mazda 3 provides comfortable and confident handling. It feels balanced, changes directions quickly, and maintains control during corners. Additionally, the steering is fast and accurate. The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is quick and generates smooth power right away, but it really kicks in around the mid-range. Merging onto highways is not an issue. In testing, our all-wheel-drive Mazda 3 car accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds. The Mazda 3 competes against other compact sedans and hatchbacks on the market. If you're looking for a car with a typical trunk, consider the Honda Civic sedan, Toyota Corolla sedan, Kia Forte, Hyundai Elantra, Volkswagen Jetta, and Nissan Sentra. The Mazda 3's hatchback rivals include the Civic hatch and Subaru Impreza, as well as hot hatches like the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Toyota GR Corolla if compared to the highest trim level of the turbocharged Mazda3.
