Mazda3
In this SUV-dominated world it’s always nice to see there are still sedans being produced. And frankly, Mazda has hit it out of the park with its new Mazda3. The bold styling gives it a small-luxury-car vibe, and the silhouette of the hatchback version sets it wonderfully apart from all the other cars vying in this segment.
Two significant additions are worthy of note. First, Mazda will be offering all-wheel-drive technology on its new Mazda3. The system is borrowed from the CX-5, and it will be available toward the end of 2019. Second, the latest-generation SKYACTIV-x engine joins the roster in addition to the SKYACTIV-G engine. In its 2.0L version, the SKYACTIV-X will produce 176 hp, while the 2.5L unit will generate 186 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. Mazda will be also offer a 2.0L base engine for those not so much in need of that extra pop.
No pricing has yet been announced for any of the new Mazda3 versions. Stay tuned…
