2021 Mazda3: Seize the road, enjoy the moment

Fully redesigned last year, the Mazda3 takes everything consumers love about the Mazda compact sedan and elevates it to a brand-new level. The 2021 Mazda3 returns with the features that made it so popular, and introduces a new engine that delivers even more power. There’s very little that you can’t love about the all-new 2021 Mazda3.


There’s a lot to talk about when it comes to the new-generation Mazda3, but we’ll be focusing on the optional i-ACTIV all-wheel drive that was introduced last year. This system is sophisticated and more importantly, very unique in the compact sedan segment. There are just a handful of cars to offer all-wheel drive in the segment, and the Mazda3 is one of them. It allows owners to face tough winter conditions with absolutely no issues.


The 2021 Mazda3 and its i-ACTIV system are exclusive in the segment. It’s a unique system that sends engine power to the front wheels in a normal situation. The i-ACTIV system is capable of reading and analyzing the driver's gestures, such as accelerations and the angle of the steering wheel. i-ACTIV also knows if the wheels lose its grip. If traction has been compromised, i-ACTIV will transfer the power from the engine to the appropriate wheels to ensure optimal handling.


When you combine all-wheel drive with G-Vectoring control, an advanced feature that gives the Mazda3 greater stability and reduces body movements at lower speeds, you get one of the best handling compacts on the market.


You also get one of the most powerful thanks to a brand-new 2.5-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers an impressive 227 horsepower and an even more impressive 310 pound-feet of torque. This new engine makes the Mazda3 one of the most powerful cars in the segment.


The entry-level engine is no slouch either. A 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine developing 155 horsepower is standard while in the hatchback model owners will enjoy a more powerful 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine developing 186 horsepower. This engine is also available in the sedan version.


No matter which model you buy, the 2021 Mazda3 AWD i-ACTIV is designed to keep you on the road and deliver superb performance. Visit us today to learn more!
