8.8″ Display
2.5 S
The Mazda3 2.5 S stands out for value, putting out 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque from its 2.5-liter four-cylinder. An 8.8-inch center display with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keeps your music and navigation close. Its trunk holds 13.2 cubic feet, enough for a week of groceries. It also comes equipped with a robust i-Activsense® safety package.
Black 18″ Wheels
2.5 S Select Sport
When Bakersfield temperatures climb past 100 degrees, the dual-zone automatic climate control in the 2.5 S Select Sport trim lets you and your passenger set separate temperatures. This model also adds black leatherette, black 18-inch wheels, and Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, so the doors unlock as you approach.
Heated Front Seats
2.5 S Preferred
Heated front seats and an eight-way power driver’s seat with memory and power lumbar support make the Mazda3 2.5 S Preferred feel tailored to you. A power sliding-glass moonroof opens the cabin to fresh air, and silver-finish 18-inch wheels set this trim apart. Its interior offers available Greige leatherette, a warm, lighter alternative to black.
Red Leather
2.5 S Carbon Edition
Standard i-Activ AWD® gives the Mazda3 2.5 S Carbon Edition extra grip on rain-slick pavement and winter trips over the Tehachapi Pass. Red leather seating and Polymetal Gray paint create a distinct look, while wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and Qi® wireless phone charging keep you connected without cords.
10.25″ Touchscreen
2.5 Turbo Premium Plus
Under the hood of this new Mazda model, a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine achieves up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque when using premium fuel. The 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus trim comes further equipped with standard i-Activ AWD®, paddle shifters, a heated steering wheel, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen display. A 360-degree View Monitor and front and rear parking sensors help you back out of tight spaces.
