What's the REAL Deal with Mazda 3 2025's New Features?

[@exif6839]

This is definitely the best car in this class. And that say I am as a BMW 5 sedan driver.

[@RidetheEast]

Wow, that’s high praise coming from a BMW 5 Series driver! The Mazda 3 definitely punches above its weight with its premium feel and driving dynamics. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

I wonder what will be the look of the next Mazda design

[@RidetheEast]

Absolutely agree! Mazda’s Kodo design philosophy already offers incredible elegance and dynamism. If they push this further with future models, we might see sharper lines, bolder grilles, and more minimalist details that could truly surprise us. With the transition to electric vehicles, a simpler yet more high-tech look could also come into play. I’m really excited to see what Mazda has in store for its next designs. What kind of innovations do you think they’ll bring?

this is mazda 2024 model not 2025, the new mazda has vents also for the backseat (no controls just vents)

[@RidetheEast]

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll double-check the details and make sure to clarify in future videos. Your input is much appreciated!

[@tspice11]

My select sport doesn’t have vents is that for higher trims ?

[@jackchn23]

Isn’t there also a hybrid model too? Or was that the cx-50?

[@RidetheEast]

Great question! Currently, the Mazda 3 doesn't have a dedicated hybrid model, but Mazda has hinted at plans to introduce more hybrid technology across their lineup in the future. However, it's the Mazda CX-50 that offers a hybrid variant, combining Mazda’s efficient design with hybrid technology to enhance fuel economy and reduce emissions. Mazda’s strategy has been to start introducing hybrid and electrified models more heavily with their SUV lineup, which includes the CX-50, rather than the Mazda 3. Keep an eye out, though-Mazda’s push for hybrid options might expand to the Mazda 3 in upcoming model years as part of their evolving eco-friendly strategy!

I just got a Mazda 3 its a nice car however not fan to fact there no option for touch screen on sat nav and the the controls use it are clunky and time consuming to use

[@RidetheEast]

The Mazda 3's infotainment system does take a bit of getting used to, especially with the rotary controller instead of a touchscreen. Mazda designed it this way to minimize distraction, aiming to keep drivers’ eyes on the road. It can feel clunky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it tends to be quite intuitive. Hopefully, the sleek design and performance of the car make up for it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts-it’s always great to hear different perspectives!

@@RidetheEast I prefer touch screen me and my father spent whole hour with it yesterday and concluded it's clunky using the wheel search letters for for addresses and locations. My father was going to buy a Mazda 3 as well however he couldn't as he relies heavily on sat nav for delivery and he is not strong knowledge person when it comes to this way putting address in search he needs something that is easy use like touch screen and fast duo jobs and delivering hot food. It's not practical I hope Mazda changes this as I'll be resulting in using my mobile over this system

[@RidetheEast]

I totally understand-using the rotary dial to enter addresses can be a bit time-consuming, especially if you're used to a touchscreen. Mazda opted for this setup to reduce distractions, but I get how it might feel clunky if you're relying on it for quick navigation, especially for deliveries! Many drivers do end up using their phones instead for the ease of touchscreen input. Hopefully, Mazda considers adding a touchscreen in future models for people who want that faster option. Appreciate you sharing this feedback

@@RidetheEast I have a CX-8 and can say I prefer Mazda's implementation over using a touch screen, it's more intuitive and safer to use.

[@bogdan_ro5321]

Yeah brooo use a glove to open that car :)))))))))))))).. Is a masterpiece

[@RidetheEast]

This car really is a masterpiece-you wouldn’t want to leave even a single fingerprint on it! 😄

[@craigr.h.laurent240]

Why do you believe that background "music" while you are speaking is a good idea? That makes no sense and detracts from your speaking.

[@Blackbear23929]

It’s a 2.5 not 2.0

[@danbittner6805]

Just got a 2025 Mazda 3 sedan and I’m so confused on why there’s no 12v in this car. I think it might be the dumbest thing I’ve seen not put in a brand new car

[@RidetheEast]

Congrats on your new 2025 Mazda 3! 🎉 It’s definitely surprising that a 12V outlet isn’t included, considering how useful it can be for many drivers. Mazda might be pushing for USB-C and wireless solutions as part of a more modern approach, but a 12V option would’ve been a nice addition for flexibility. Hopefully, you’re still loving the rest of the car-it’s such a great vehicle overall!

191 hp ( not 186)

[@RidetheEast]

Good catch! You’re absolutely right-it's 191 hp, not 186. Thanks for pointing that out!
