Performance

If a hatchback is on your radar, you likely rank gas savings high. You’ll be properly equipped for your excursions through South Florida, as this model delivers a 26/34/29 MPG city/hwy/combined1 efficiency rating with the standard FWD system. Upgrading to i-ACTIV AWD® won’t severely impact your wallet either, because it puts a 25/34/28 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy at your fingertips. Regardless of which drivetrain you choose, a standard SKYACTIV®-G2 2.5L 4-cylinder engine will thrust the hatchback toward your destination with 186 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque. To kick things into high gear, upgrade to the SKYACTIV®-G2 2.5L dynamic pressure turbo 4-cylinder system to enjoy 250 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque with 93 octane gas. Lastly, FWD comes standard, but you can equip the optional i-ACTIV AWD® system to brandish impressive traction. 

Exterior

You’ll notice heads turning in the direction of the 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback upon arriving at Blue Ridge Park. A standard set of LED bulbs includes headlights, daytime running lamps, and taillights to make your presence known from all angles. When precipitation, sleet, dirt, or mud is detected on the front glass, the optional rain-sensing wipers will engage to clear your view. After the clouds dissipate, you can open the available power moonroof to enjoy natural light and a breath of fresh air. Down below, all-season tires wrap around the standard 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, but these can be swapped for the available 18-inch upgrades to create a bold stance. This presence is amplified by the optional black aero rear roof spoiler and front air guides, which reduce wind drag to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. 

Technology

When you approach the Mazda3 Hatchback, the available Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry system will provide immediate access to the cockpit. Climb in and use the standard push button start to activate the standard 8.8-inch touchscreen that crowns the dashboard. This display provides crystal clarity, but you can boost your view by springing for the optional 10.25-inch full-color interface. To play songs and place calls, sync your smartphone with the hatchback via the standard Bluetooth®3 technology and use voice commands. Then, you can place your device on the available wireless charger4 to maintain its battery levels. While the vehicle is in motion, the standard 7-inch instrument cluster will show turn-by-turn directions, driver-assist warnings, and average fuel consumption in real time.
