What's new on the 2017 Mazda3

2017 Mazda3 changes and release date

The 2017 Mazda3 was released to Japanese car drivers last week. More 2017 Mazda3 changes and a release date will be announced soon, but from what we know right now, we can expect to see the Mazda3 at Seacoast Mazda later in 2017. We’ll discuss some of the expected changes below.

The Mazda3 won a handful of awards in 2016. Here’s just a few of the awards the 2016 Mazda3 took home this year:

  • 10- Best Family Cars of 2016 by Parents Magazine and Edmunds.com
  • Strategic Vision Total Quality Impact Award
  • KBB.com’s 10 Coolest Cars under $18,000

Changes to the 2017 Mazda3

We don’t expect to see many changes to the successful Mazda3. The entire 2017 Mazda lineup is expected to get minor updates after a few major redesigns in 2015 and 2016. The Mazda3 will feature G-Vectoring Control (GVC), which is the first in a series of SKYACTIV®-VEHICLE DYNAMICS technologies meant to integrate control of the transmission, engine, chassis and body to enhance what Mazda calls the Jinbo Ittai feel.

Here’s what Masamichi Kogai, Mazda’s President and CEO, had to say about the addition of SKYACTIV®-VEHICLE DYNAMICS technologies.

“Mazda is striving to become an irreplaceable presence in the lives of our customers, to create a special bond with them and to be a ‘one-and-only’ brand they will choose again and again,” said Masamichi Kogai, Mazda’s President and CEO.
