RESPONSIVENESS
At the heart of the Mazda3 Hatchback is its pioneering human-centric development philosophy. The goal is to create a vehicle that feels like an extension of your body to enhance the driving experience to previously unheard-of levels. Once you add in the high-octane capabilities of the Mazda3 Hatchback, you have a potent vehicle that seamlessly responds to every command.
Ready for the Racetrack
At just 175.6 inches long, the Mazda3 Hatchback may be compact, but it delivers the punch you'd expect from a performance vehicle. The iconic Skyactiv®-G 2.5L Turbo engine sits under the hood, awaiting its chance to showcase its full potential. With the press of the accelerator, this vehicle unleashes up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque.
In seconds, you’ll be at the front of the pack and will lead the charge until you reach your destination. A standard Skyactiv®-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission provides smooth shifting.
For those who prefer to be in control, a 6-speed manual transmission is available, allowing you to take command of every action. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters are available on select trim levels. When optionally equipped, these shifters let you feel more engaged with your ride, enhancing the man-machine connection.
Handles Like a Dream
Superior ride quality comes standard with the Mazda3 Hatchback. The innovative G-Vectoring Control Plus system enhances stability and control by automatically adjusting engine torque and braking according to driving conditions. With this feature, you can feel more secure tackling tight turns at higher speeds. Designed to reflect human behavior, G-Vectoring Control Plus adapts its form throughout the turn to deliver professional driver-worthy control.
Across every mile, the Mazda3 Hatchback follows its driver-first philosophy, ensuring optimal control with these standard and available features:
- i-ACTIV AWD®
- Aero rear spoiler system
- Front air dam
While these systems help enhance stability and control, the 5.5-inch ground clearance improves aerodynamics and increases downforce, leading to a stronger connection between the Mazda3 Hatchback and the road.
REFINED
The Mazda3 Hatchback has precision-tuned features that make it ready for the racetrack, but this vehicle is just at home in a valet line. The Mazda3 Hatchback designers have left no stone unturned, creating a mobile masterpiece that places premium craftsmanship front and center.
Never Ask for Attention
The Mazda3 Hatchback is a dynamic vehicle with the KODO design philosophy at its heart. Designed to always appear in motion, even when stationary, the Mazda3 Hatchback’s exterior teases the capabilities that lie under the hood. It achieves this with chiseled contours and curves. A collection of rich, shimmery metallic shades enhances this KODO: “Soul of Motion” philosophy, including:
- Soul Red
- Polymetal Gray
- Platinum Quartz
- Deep Crystal Blue
Additional pearlescent hues are offered in timeless shades. The energy of the Mazda3 Hatchback is cemented with blacked-out accents on select trim levels. Upgrades include black side mirrors and 18-inch Black Alloy wheels.
Elevated Cabin Feel
No detail is too small for the Mazda3 Hatchback designers. The cabin is adorned with premium accents, including available leather upholstery in sophisticated Black or vibrant Red. Select trim levels extend the use of leather throughout the cabin, wrapping the steering wheel and gear selector in supple sophistication.
Standard and available driver-focused amenities enhance the premium feel of the cabin, including:
- Heated front seats
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Remote keyless entry system/Push Button Start
An available frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror delivers a premium feel to every nighttime commute. Advanced technology can detect headlights from the vehicle(s) behind you and automatically adjust the mirror’s reflectivity to minimize glare and enhance visibility.
INTUITIVE
The Mazda3 Hatchback designers sought to deliver an experience that’s much more than a means of transportation. That’s why this vehicle is engineered to respond to your every command. From connectivity to awareness, the Mazda3 works tirelessly to keep you informed every step of the way.
Connected From Point A to Point B
Modern life often pulls you in every direction. The Mazda3 Hatchback helps keep you centered with Mazda Connect™, an advanced infotainment system that places all the digital features you’d need at the forefront of every commute. Included in this suite are:
- 8.8- or 10.25-inch touchscreen display
- Advanced voice command
- Text message audio delivery & reply
Working alongside Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, the systems included with Mazda Connect™ ensure you’re always reachable, even when you’re miles from home. Alexa Built-in enhances this virtual connection. When optionally equipped, you can use the same commands as your smart-home device in your vehicle: check for weather updates, request a song, or create a grocery list.
You can also use Alexa Built-in to control compatible smart home features, including thermostats and lighting systems, ensuring you enter your home to the ideal conditions.
Eyes Everywhere
Your safety is of the utmost importance. That’s why the Mazda3 Hatchback features the advanced i-Activsense® driver-assist technology. Equipped with sophisticated monitoring systems, the Mazda3 Hatchback scans for hazards that are easy to miss. Features like Blind Spot Monitoring provide visual alerts, while Lane-keep Assist offers gentle steering assistance.
Additional support is provided with the available Cruising and Traffic Support System. When equipped, this feature helps minimize driving fatigue in stop-and-go traffic situations. Advanced technology monitors traffic patterns and helps adjust vehicle speed to keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead.
From awareness to action, the Mazda3 Hatchback offers intuitive safety systems that work in conjunction with your safe driving habits to help you reach any destination securely.
