Two Great Options for Canadian Roads
What makes these Mazda models so worthy of Canada’s winding roads? Well, the Mazda3 and Mazda3 Sport are two of the only affordable compact cars that offer all-wheel drive. The only competition is the much less luxurious Subaru Impreza, which is no longer offered as a sedan. Mazda's i-Activ all-wheel drive system means better handling and superior traction that keeps you safe. Plus, the 2024 Mazda3 has a Skyactiv-G turbocharged engine as an available option, which is a dynamic innovation for driving confidently.
If you are trying to choose between Mazda's sedan and hatchback, there is no clear-cut option. Both are terrific cars with power and passion for the road to spare. There are some minor features that differentiate these vehicles, like cargo space, starting price, and available trims, but it all comes down to what you are looking for. No matter which one you go for, we can confidently say that you are getting a great deal on a terrific car that can handle Canada’s unpredictable weather and take you farther than you have ever thought possible.
2024 Mazda3 Sport
The Mazda3 Sport is a stylish and exciting hatchback that is ready for a fun time with a cozy interior to keep you comfortable along the way. Starting with an affordable MSRP of just $24,950, you can get a six-speed automatic transmission with a 2.5L I-4 engine and 191 hp.[a] If you opt for the GT trim, a six-speed manual transmission adds a bit more engagement to the drive. However, you can upgrade to the available 2.5L Skyactiv Turbo engine to enjoy a potent 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. On top of the variety of powertrain options, you have your choice of nine stunning exterior colours, including Soul Red Crystal Metallic, Snowflake White Pearl, Jet Black Mica, Deep Crystal Blue Mica, and Polymer Grey Metallic.
Then, there are the astounding technology and safety features that are designed for your peace of mind, comfort, and entertainment. Starting with a standard 22 cm display that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, this feature also gives you a wide-angle view of the rear camera’s point of view so you can back up without worry. Plus, with available advanced keyless entry and standard push button start, there is less to consider when entering the driver’s seat. While you’re enjoying the feeling of driving your new car, the standard Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring System, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and more have you covered. Do we need to mention the dual front, side, and curtain airbags?
What separates this sleek hatchback from the rest? Well, besides effortless control, terrific traction, and feeling the undeniable power at your fingertips, there are a few more things that will surely get your engine rumbling, like the excellent cargo hold with 1,334 litres of space when you fold the rear seats. The 2024 Mazda3 Sport features a quiet cabin, a snazzy design that will turn heads, and the available Suna Edition. This earthy edition puts a sophisticated twist on the high-end hatchback with a special Zircon Sand Metallic paint scheme and Terracotta leatherette interior. The colours are so warm that it may even melt the snow around it.
2024 Mazda3 Sedan
Though the Mazda3 sedan may lack the extra cargo space of the Mazda3 Sport, there are a lot of similarities between the two, and they share the same engine options and tech features. The starting MSRP of the sedan is slightly lower at $24,200, although the six-speed manual transmission and earthy Suna Edition are not available for it.[a] With optional all-wheel drive and high-end interiors, there is so much to love about this compact sedan from Mazda. Not to mention the luxurious feel you get without the extra bulk in the back.
If you upgrade to the GT trim or the GS with the Luxury Package, you will enjoy a larger 26 cm infotainment display. However, even if you stick with the standard 22 cm display, you will have remote access from the MyMazda app on your phone to keep up with your vehicle's status, plus a remote start option to turn your car on before you even get inside. There is no need to describe how awesome this is on a cold winter day. Plus, with standard heated seats, you won’t even remember entering a freezing car. The 2024 Mazda3 also has advanced safety features that alert you to potential accidents and hazardous situations, so there is no more second-guessing your security on the road.
Like the hatchback, the flowing lines of the Mazda3 sedan seem to be carved from marble and perfectly complement the array of eye-catching colour options. The sleek curves and elegant design keep you excited and make a statement wherever you go. With precise driving, exquisite style, luxury interiors, and safety features designed to look out for you, you won’t want to miss your chance to test drive this beauty.
