2025 Mazda 3Sedan

A variety of configurations cater to different driving preferences across six distinct trims: 2.5 S, 2.5 S Select Sport, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Carbon Edition AWD, 2.5 Carbon Turbo, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus. LED lighting, including automatic headlights and LED daytime running lights, creates a sophisticated appearance. The base 2.5 S features 16-inch aluminum wheels, while the higher trims upgrade to larger 18-inch alloy wheels. Upgrading to the 2.5 S Preferred adds a power sliding-glass moonroof. For drivers seeking a distinctive look, the Carbon Edition AWD stands out with its exclusive metallic paint finish and gloss black accents.

Multiple powertrain options support various driving preferences. The standard SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, found in all non-turbo trims, generates 191 horsepower, providing smooth and responsive acceleration for daily driving. Drivers seeking additional performance can opt for the turbocharged engine in the 2.5 Carbon Turbo and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus, which produce up to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque when using premium fuel. All models feature a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Front-wheel drive comes standard on most trims, while the Carbon Edition and both Turbo models benefit from standard i-ACTIV AWD.

The turbocharged all-wheel-drive model accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, while the front-wheel-drive sedan reaches 60 mph in 7 seconds. G-Vectoring Control Plus technology comes standard across all trims, improving handling precision by subtly adjusting engine torque in response to steering inputs. This system works alongside electronic stability control and an anti-lock braking system to maintain composure in various driving conditions. The suspension tuning strikes an excellent balance between comfort and sportiness, while the responsive steering provides prompt feedback.

The thoughtful design maximizes comfort and functionality in the five-passenger cabin. The standard 10.25-inch display screen serves as the hub for the infotainment system, offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration across all trims. Starting with the 2.5 S Preferred trim, drivers benefit from an eight-way power-adjustable seat with two-position memory settings and heated front seats. The optional 12-speaker Bose audio system delivers concert-quality sound. With 13.2 cubic feet of trunk space, the Mazda 3 Sedan provides practical everyday storage. Higher trims incorporate Alexa Built-in functionality, adding convenient voice control options.

The Mazda 3 Sedan's excellent safety credentials are validated by its Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ Award and an overall safety rating of five stars. Every trim includes Mazda Radar Cruise Control with stop-and-go functionality, helping maintain safe following distances in traffic. The comprehensive airbag system includes side-impact protection for both rows, curtain airbags, and driver and passenger knee airbags. Smart Brake Support provides automatic emergency braking when needed, while blind-spot monitoring helps prevent lane-change collisions. Lane-keep assist and rear cross-traffic alert come standard across the lineup. The range-topping Turbo Premium Plus adds a 360-degree monitor and front and rear parking sensors for improved visibility during low-speed maneuvers.
