Future generations included design changes that made it one of the most stylish vehicles available. Now in its fourth generation, the Mazda 3 is more powerful than ever with updated technology and features designed to improve everyday usability.

Fourth Generation

The newest Mazda 3 comes with high-tech upgrades, such as a self-parking system, a head-up display and a 360-degree parking camera on top trim levels. It has also become more efficient with a variety of powertrain options. The updated interior is still widely recognised for its comfort and eye-catching design.

Over the years, the Mazda 3 has maintained a reputation for being one of the most stylish vehicles in the segment. For this generation, Mazda also focused on creating better, more engaging driving dynamics.

The third-generation Mazda 3 featured a touchscreen infotainment system, along with lane departure warning and a panoramic sunroof. It was made available with diesel, petrol and hybrid powertrains, with some being among the most fuel-efficient in the segment.

Used Mazda 3 FAQ's

What is SKYACTIV technology in Mazda engines?

SKYACTIV refers to proprietary technology used by Mazda for the drivetrains to produce more power and heightened fuel efficiency. The SKYACTIV-G and SKYACTIV-X are both petrol-based engine options for the Mazda 3, while the SKYACTIV-D engine is diesel-powered.

Which are the most popular trim levels?

The newest lineup of Mazda 3 models comes in five trims: Prime-Line, Centre-Line, Homura, Exclusive-Line and Takumi. The base Prime-Line is the more economically friendly option, while the Takumi has all of the high-end touches included as standard equipment. Earlier generation trims included GT Sport, GT Sport Tech, Sport, SE-L and SE-L Lux. The most popular trim level still remains the Sport trim.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Look out for examples of the Mazda 3 with 18-inch alloy wheels and a black leather interior trim, these were both optional upgrades when the car was new. Some models can feature the 360-degree parking monitor and sensors that can help drivers to get in and out of tight spaces.

Is the Mazda 3 a good family car?

Yes, despite relatively compact dimensions and its sleek design, the Mazda 3 offers a comfortable ride for a family of four. If you wish to have adults or older children sitting in the back, then you may prefer the four-door saloon to the hatchback for extra headroom.

Is there a hybrid version of the Mazda 3?

While Mazda hasn't released a plug-in hybrid for the 3 model yet, mild hybrid technology is used across the engine range in the most recent versions to create more efficiency.

Is the Mazda 3 available as an automatic?

There have been numerous powertrain options over the years, with the choice of a manual or automatic transmission. In the current lineup, used buyers can choose from a 6-speed manual or automatic.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

The Mazda 3 can be found on the used market with all-wheel drive for added traction. However, the front-wheel drive Mazda 3 provides more than enough capability in most everyday driving environments.
