The completely redesigned new Mazda3has been named the Car of the Year by the 2020 Auto Guide.

It is a prestigious title for Mazda’s new compact sedan that was introduced last year. The new 2020 Mazda3 saw the light of day last November at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Among the many changes made to the Mazda3, we think of the addition of the i-ACTIV all-wheel drive which allows the new Mazda3 to offer the same dynamic and solid behavior in all possible road situations, from snowstorm to a wet road. Always as fuel efficient with an average consumption of up to 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway, the 2020 Mazda3 is offered in several versions with two engines, a four-cylinder of 2.0-liter SKYACTIV 155 horsepower and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder developing 186 horsepower. The 2020 Mazda3 starts at $ 18,000 and comes standard with an 8.8-inch center display including Mazda Connect, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and G-Vectoring Control technology.
