Here’s Why You Should Test Drive the 2025 Mazda3 Today

1. Refined Driving Dynamics2025 Mazda3 Sedan | Vancouver, WA

Mazda has mastered the art of driving dynamics, and no where is this more evident than in the Mazda3. The G-Vectoring Control Plus system enhances cornering stability and steering responsiveness by subtly adjusting engine torque and brake force. The car’s suspension is tuned for both comfort and control, giving drivers a reassuring feel of the road without being harsh.


2. Choice of Powertrains

Three engine options cater to a range of performance preferences. The standard 155-hp 2.0L four-cylinder is perfect for daily commuting, as is the optional 191-hp 2.5L four-cylinder that has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 37 mpg on the highway. An available turbocharged version of the 2.5L engine provides power that rivals entry-level luxury cars, with 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque.

Drivers have their choice between front-wheel or all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission in hatchback models, while sedan models only come with the 6-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.


3. Upscale Interior

The Mazda3 has an extremely high interior quality, with soft-touch surfaces and minimalist design cues that contribute to a modern, driver-focused layout. Higher trims feature leather-trimmed heated front seats with 8-way power adjustments and 2-position memory. Acoustic windshield glass and enhanced insulation create a calm, quiet, and peaceful driving environment.


4. Comprehensive Safety

All Mazda3 models come standard with the i-Activsense safety suite that includes intelligent features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. The 2025 model has received a 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and has won a 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award.


5. Strong Standard Tech

Amazon Alexa now comes embedded into all Mazda3 infotainment systems, except for the base model. In Turbo models, a 10.3-inch display is standard, while lower trims receive an 8.8-inch display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the board, while a 12-speaker Bose audio system is standard equipment in higher trims.

The Mazda3 is a well-rounded compact car that delivers strong performance, advanced safety features, and premium interior quality, all while maintaining competitive pricing.
