The base model comes with 16-inch alloy wheels with a silver metallic finish, adding to its refined yet sporty character. The wheels are wrapped in all-season tires. Exterior color choices include Soul Red Crystal Metallic, Machine Gray Metallic, Ceramic Metallic, Deep Crystal Blue Mica, Jet Black Mica, Platinum Quartz Metallic, Polymetal Gray Metallic, Snowflake White Pearl Mica, and Zircon Sand Metallic. Some colors are limited by trim level.
Interior Styling and Capacity
Step inside the 2025 Mazda3 Sedan, and you’ll be greeted by a luxuriously appointed interior designed to provide comfort and convenience for both driver and passengers. The cabin features high-quality materials and a minimalist design that emphasizes elegance and functionality. There are soft-touch surfaces and meticulously crafted details enhance the overall ambiance. Cloth upholstery is standard, but leather is available on higher trim levels.
The Mazda3 Sedan comfortably seats up to five passengers, with ample legroom and headroom in both the front and rear seats. There are front bucket seats, with a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat and a 4-way adjustable passenger’s seat. Available ambient lighting adds a touch of sophistication to the interior, enhancing nighttime drives. The dashboard is angled towards the driver, ensuring easy access to controls and a more engaging driving experience.
In addition to the spacious interior, the trunk offers a generous amount of cargo space for a compact sedan, with foldable rear seats to expand storage capacity when needed.
Power and Performance
Mazda is renowned for delivering vehicles that are not only stylish but also thrilling to drive, and the 2025 Mazda3 Sedan is no exception. With a powerful base engine and performance-enhancing features, the Mazda3 offers a dynamic yet efficient driving experience.
The standard engine is a 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G inline-4 that produces 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, this engine delivers smooth acceleration and impressive fuel efficiency.
