The Mazda3 2022, a quality sedan!

Three engines on the menu 

First, the entry-level Mazda3 GX and GS models are powered by a 2.0 L Skyactiv-G 4-cylinder engine that produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. 

Then, as an option on the Mazda3 GS and standard on the GT, there’s a 2.5 L engine developing 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. Finally, you can opt for a Mazda3 Turbo with even more power, 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. 

The sedan’s 2.5 L engines are exclusively paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode. The 2.0 L engine can also be combined with a 6-speed manual transmission. 

A Mazda3 AWD is also available with the GS and GT rims, which feature optional all-wheel drive. The i-Activ technology uses sensors that monitor driving conditions 200 times per second. 

Regardless of the season, this gives your Mazda3 the control and stability you need. Driving pleasure is one of the Mazda advantages, and the sedan is no exception. Come and test drive a Mazda vehicle in Chicoutimi! 

Whether you prefer an affordable basic version or a more powerful style, here’s a summary of what each model offers: 

A comfortable interior 

From version to version, the Mazda3 offers you an array of comfort features, including standard heated front seats. Cloth, leatherette or leather seats are also among your choices. Overall, this is how Jerry Vo, automotive journalist for AJAC, describes the Mazda3’s interior quality: 

“It stands out in terms of material quality, fit and finish and really blurs the line between mainstream and luxury brands.” 

It is worth mentioning that the Mazda3 GT can have sport garnet red leather trim with red stitching for an even more upscale effect. This is in addition to the various high-gloss finish elements that prettify the entire interior of this version.
