~$35,000
Engine: 2.5L turbocharged inline-4
Torque: 434 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~5.9 s
The 2.5 Turbo version of the Mazda3 dramatically shifts the car’s character from stylish compact to stealthy performance contender. Its turbocharged engine produces up to 250 horsepower and a formidable 434 Nm of torque when running on premium fuel, making it one of the quickest non-luxury hatchbacks in its class. Power delivery is smooth and muscular, with an immediate low-end surge that propels the car from a standstill to 100 km/h in just under six seconds.
Despite its front-biased architecture, the available i-ACTIV AWD system ensures excellent traction and stability through corners, while G-Vectoring Control Plus subtly enhances balance and steering accuracy. The suspension tuning strikes an ideal compromise—firm enough to keep the chassis composed during spirited driving, yet supple enough for daily usability. Compared to hot hatches like the Golf GTI or Hyundai Elantra N, the Mazda3 offers less drama but more polish, with a quieter cabin and smoother responses.
The Mazda3 Turbo is for drivers who appreciate mature dynamics over aggressive styling. It blends subtle performance with high-end refinement, offering an executive feel in a compact package that rewards thoughtful driving as much as raw acceleration.
Body Styles
The current Mazda3 is offered in two distinct forms: a sleek four-door sedan and a bold five-door hatchback. The sedan features classic proportions with a low roofline and fluid side profile that echoes premium European designs. The hatchback, by contrast, emphasizes a coupe-like silhouette with a high rear shoulder line and aggressive tapering that gives it a striking presence on the road. Both variants share a long hood, short front overhang, and a cab-rearward stance that communicates rear-wheel-drive elegance, despite the front-biased layout. The use of Mazda’s KODO design language ensures every surface flows organically, resulting in a sculptural, minimalist aesthetic rarely seen in this segment.
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
The "Mazda3" continues Mazda’s naming convention, with the number designating its position within the brand’s hierarchy. The "3" places it as the core compact offering, situated between the smaller Mazda2 and larger Mazda6. Internally, the car represents Mazda’s vision of elevating everyday vehicles through premium design, technology, and driver engagement.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
Mazda’s commitment to expressive design is mirrored in the paintwork. Soul Red Crystal remains the flagship color, offering intense depth and gloss, while Polymetal Gray and Machine Gray provide a more mature, metallic sheen. Deep Crystal Blue and Snowflake White Pearl round out the palette with contrasting dark and light themes. The hatchback body amplifies visual drama through its sculpted flanks and shadow-play across its thick C-pillars, especially under natural light.
The interior elevates expectations with materials and layout more commonly found in luxury sedans. Black leather with red accents is standard on turbo trims, while Greige leather or Pure White alternatives cater to those seeking a softer ambiance. The minimalist dashboard integrates a floating infotainment screen with tactile dials and switchgear, while the soft-touch dash and stitched door panels reinforce Mazda’s premium ambitions. Attention to soundproofing and tactile quality ensures an upscale experience for both driver and passengers.
Wheel designs range from 16-inch silver alloys on base trims to 18-inch gloss black multi-spokes on turbocharged variants. The latter offer a stealthy, planted appearance, contrasting sharply with the body color to hint at the car’s hidden performance. Their wide stance and low-profile tires also enhance cornering stability and visual aggression.

vs Competitors
In the compact segment, the Mazda3 stands apart by offering luxury-like refinement and engaging dynamics without adopting an aggressive persona. Compared to the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, it boasts a richer interior and tighter handling. The Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3 offer similar quality, but at higher price points and with less visual flair. While the Hyundai Elantra N and GTI deliver more overt sportiness, they lack the Mazda’s elegance and polish. The Mazda3 carves a niche for itself as a compact with premium ambitions—focused, quiet, and satisfying to drive daily without seeking attention.
Fun Fact
Mazda engineers reportedly benchmarked the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series when developing the current Mazda3’s cabin and ride quality—despite never intending to price the car in the luxury bracket. The result is one of the few mainstream compacts that feels convincingly premium, right down to the sound of the closing doors.
