Mazda has a reputation for making its cars look more expensive than they’re worth. The Kodo design on Mazda 3 Sedan, for example, can make you want to buy the car at first glance.
But what’s packed inside makes it even more interesting. The vehicle is integrated with a powerful engine and advanced i-Activ AWD to perform smart calculations and make your ride smoother, more rigid, and fun.
Curious about what more this classy sedan has to offer? Read this blog to find out what top internal, external, and performance features are in the new 2021 Mazda 3 Sedan.
Trim Levels
The 2021 Mazda 3 sedan has seven unique trim options, including 2.0 Sedan, 2.5 S, Select, Preferred, Premium, 2.5 Turbo, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus.
The key difference between the 2.0 Sedan and 2.5 S is the engine model; where the 2.0 Sedan has a 2-liter inline-four, while the 2.5 S has a 2.5-liter non-turbo engine.
Base features of the 2021 Mazda 2 Sedan include 18-inch alloy wheels, Mazda connected service, and cruise control. The Preferred trim boasts of a power-sliding glass moonroof, while the 2.5 Turbo Premier Plus adds a black rear lip spoiler, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree monitor view.
Power
The 2-litre engine on Mazda 3 produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an 8-speed auto and four-wheel drive.
Upgrading to the 2.5-liter non-turbo that produces 186 horsepower allows you access to all-wheel drive, while those who choose the250 horsepower 2.5-liter turbo can get 6-speed-auto with four-wheel drive.
Performance
All trim levels respond fast to gas-pedal input but neither is notably quicker. They also feel composed on both straight and rugged paths. Off the road, the ride quality is firm, and steering the car feels natural.
You should probably get winter tires if you regularly travel on the ice-covered roads; all-season wheels don’t provide proper grip there.
Interiors
Inside, Mazda packed premium materials that will make you appreciate the car’s value. The base trims feature supportive seats and comfy accommodations with plenty of storage space; you can haul up to 16 carry-on bags when the back seat is folded.
They also feature a classy hand gear shift, a standard 8.8-inch infotainment display, and leather upholstery on premium trim levels.
Safety
Mazda boasts of a five-star rating from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a top safety pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Mazda 3 Sedan is also integrated with standard safety features like automated emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, Mazda radar cruise control with stop & go, smart brake support, lane departure warning, and lane-keep assist.
It’s an affordable car that feels sporty and fast. It has a streamlined look on its exterior and gives drivers an ergonomic road view inside. The seats are also comfortable and the technology is impressive.
Overall, the experience of riding in a Mazda3 is quite pleasant, and as described above, there are plenty of reasons why this car offers excellent value.
