2019 Mazda Mazda 3 Expert Review
Reviewed by Staff Writer
The redesigned 2019 Mazda3 looks to entice buyers with an updated design, the entertaining driving experience we expect from the brand, and a new all-wheel-drive option (front-wheel drive is standard). Again offered as a sedan and four-door hatchback, every 2019 Mazda3 is powered by a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated I-4 with 186 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. Six-speed automatic and manual transmissions are both available.
Loaded 2019 Mazdas will come with a full suite of active safety tech, a head-up display, 12-speaker Bose sound system, 18-inch wheels, and adaptive LED headlights. If that sounds too good to be true, consider the list of features that's standard on every 2019 Mazda3, instead: An 8.8-inch infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, LED headlights, an eight-speaker sound system, an electronic parking brake, and a 7.0-inch instrument cluster screen.
