Every driver has unique needs and preferences, and so Mazda offers the Mazda3 in seven trims: 2.5 S, 2.5 S Select, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Carbon Edition, 2.5 S Premium, 2.5 Turbo, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus. Power for all versions (except the Turbo and Turbo Premium Plus) comes from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, making 191 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque. Those top two trims get a turbocharged version of this powerplant, producing 250 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque with 93-octane gas (or 227 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque with 87-octane fuel).
Front-wheel drive is the default, but all-wheel drive is optional on the Carbon Edition and standard on higher trims. Uniquely, the Premium can be equipped with front-wheel drive. In this case, it’s the only Mazda3 with a six-speed manual gearbox (all others get a six-speed automatic). For trims with the base engine, the Mazda3 Hatchback is EPA-estimated for 26 mpg around town and 36 mpg on the open road. The highway fuel economy changes to 33 mpg with all-wheel drive.
The S starts the Mazda3 lineup with LED headlights with auto on/off, manual air conditioning, power side mirrors, remote keyless entry, push-button start, adaptive cruise control, fabric upholstery, a six-way manual driver’s seat with lifter feature, a four-way manual front passenger seat, a rear hatch spoiler, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a cargo area cover, and 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Stepping up to the Select adds leatherette-trimmed seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, power side mirrors with integrated turn signals, proximity keyless entry, rear air conditioning, and 18-inch alloys. Building off the Select is the Mazda3 Preferred with a power moonroof, heated front seats, a driver’s memory system, power side mirrors with a reverse-tilt feature, an eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar controls (without the reverse-tilt feature), and an overhead console with a sunglass holder.
The Carbon Edition trim brings leather upholstery, heated power side mirrors, and 18-inch black-finish alloys. A Mazda3 Premium has unique front and rear LED lighting, adaptive headlights (which adjust to match steering input), paddle shifters (automatic transmission), power side mirrors with a reverse-tilt feature (without heat), and piano black side exterior trim. Upgrades for the Turbo trim include a heated steering wheel, a power liftgate, a windshield wiper de-icing system, heated power side mirrors with a reverse-tilt feature, bright-finish interior accents, and Turbo exterior badging. A front air dam and front air guides are part of the Turbo Premium Plus trim, in addition to a black-finish rear spoiler and a driver’s side auto-dimming mirror.
Mazda3 safety technology across the trim range includes automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, and driving attention warning. Starting with the Select, the Mazda3 comes with blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert. The Premium and higher trims get a head-up display. Front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view monitor, rear automatic braking, and traffic jam assist are exclusive to the Turbo Premium Plus. The Premium and Turbo Premium Plus also get traffic sign recognition.
Mazda provides an 8.8-inch center display for the Mazda3’s infotainment system but skips touchscreen interaction. Instead, the technology is controlled by a convenient dial in the center console. This approach came about in European luxury brands in the interest of better ergonomics: the driver doesn’t have to awkwardly stretch to reach the screen (nor are there fingerprints on the screen to worry about). The other standard infotainment features include an eight-speaker audio system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, dual USB ports, and access to Mazda Connect services. The Premium trim gets an upgrade to a 12-speaker Bose sound system and SiriusXM satellite radio. Navigation comes standard on both the Premium and Turbo Premium Plus.
