Last November the all-new Mazda3 made a bold statement in its debut with striking redesigns for both the hatchback and the sedan. Embodying Mazda's latest iteration of its Kodo design language, both variations are purposely crafted to forego traditional sharp body lines and opt for sleek styling that flows throughout.
The thoughtful touches and attention to detail continue to the interior of the Mazda3. Lush materials with a simplistic design are surrounded by intuitive technology features such as an 8.8-inch large center display with the latest Mazda Connect system that can be operated thru the commander control or voice command. A seven-inch digital gauge display maintains a timeless analog theme but is benefited by a reconfigurable display to provide the driver with more information. Dual USB ports, push button start, an electronic parking brake and ample storage are among its many high-quality standard features.
The 2020 Mazda3 hatchback and sedan returns its sophisticated styling and exhilarating driving experience with the goal of further separating itself from its class with enough premium features to rival luxury automakers' offerings. Mazda engineers never settle, they are constantly finding ways to improve the vehicle. From making calculated adjustments to the suspension to being able to provide more safety features, there is a motivation to exceed expectations and create a premium experience that will help continue to elevate the brand.
For 2020, the Mazda3 sedan is an elegant, front-wheel drive compact car that features Driver Attention Alert that displays an alert and sound when it detects driver fatigue or decreased attentiveness, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go function, Smart Brake Support, Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keep Assist and High Beam Control as standard features.
