Mazda’s excellent 3 may be just a humble compact sedan or hatchback, but it forms the foundation for the brand’s upmarket aspirations. Its interior is handsomely finished in rich materials; it offers an impressive roster of standard and available luxury and tech features; and buyers have a choice between efficient and powerful engines. For the 2025 model year, a new entry-level trim for the hatchback drops the five-door model’s price of entry, but the 3 is otherwise little changed.
Two engines are available in the 2025 Mazda3. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder generating 191 horsepower and 186 pounds-feet of torque powers 2.5 S trim levels. A six-speed automatic transmission backs the four-cylinder in most trims, but the 2.5 S Premium hatchback can be had with a six-speed manual. The 2.5 S variants are front-wheel drive, except for the Carbon Edition, which features all-wheel drive.
Mazda3 2.5 Turbo trims get a - you guessed it - turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Feed it premium fuel, and it generates 250 hp and 320 pounds-feet of torque; on a diet of regular, it manages 227 hp and 310 pounds-feet. All Mazda3 2.5 Turbos come with the six-speed automatic and AWD.
