Performance That Excites

For those who enjoy a more energetic response, the Turbocharged 2.5L engine delivers up to 250 horsepower and 320 lbs.-ft. of torque with premium fuel.
Every Mazda3 uses a responsive SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission. Available i-ACTIV AWD® gives the Mazda3 added stability and traction, a valuable asset for Alexandria, MN drivers who experience a variety of weather conditions throughout the year.
Design That Captivates
