Mazda3 Performance
Go for a drive in the new Mazda3 and you'll enjoy smooth, balanced handling. Its responsive steering and tight chassis make it a blast to take around tight turns. The 3's torsion beam rear suspension smothers bumps and ruts in the road for a buttery-soft ride. You'll get around fast in Redding with the Mazda3, especially if it's equipped with the newly available turbo engine. These models can go from 0 to 60 mph in less than six seconds. Engine options in the new Mazda3 sedan coincide with its three trim levels:
- Mazda3 2.0: 155-horsepower four-cylinder motor
- Mazda3 2.5 S: 186-horsepower four-cylinder engine
- Mazda3 2.5 Turbo: Turbocharged 250-horsepower four-cylinder motor
The Mazda3 hatchback only comes with the two stronger engines. The Mazda3's motors are paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Models with the 2.0 engine only come with front-wheel drive. The Turbo trim comes standard with i-ACTIV® all-wheel drive for enhanced road grip.
Mazda3 Exterior
Both the new Mazda3 sedan and the Mazda3 hatchback have sleek, sporty looks that'll turn heads in Biggs, CA. Their smart, clean proportions, and soft, gentle contours give them a more appealing presence than most compact cars. The sedan has four doors, while the hatchback has five. The biggest stylistic difference between the two is the hatchback's thick C-pillars. All models feature a wide, shield-like grille that's canted forward and framed by narrow LED headlights.

Mazda3 Interior/Tech Features
Slide inside the new Mazda3 and you'll be captivated with its attractive, well-finished materials. Sedan models come with cloth upholstery, while hatchbacks have synthetic leather. Leather trimmed upholstery is available in higher trims. There's ample head- and legroom in the Mazda3's cozy, supportive seats. There's also plenty of space for your shopping bags in the sedan's 13.2-cubic-foot trunk, but people in Artois, CA who pack heavily for vacations will prefer the Mazda3 hatchback's 20 cubic-foot cargo hold. Standard features in the new Mazda3 include:
- An 8.8-inch infotainment display
- Remote vehicle monitoring and control via the MyMazda smartphone app
- An eight-speaker audio system
Available amenities in the Mazda3 include support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, and a navigation system.

Optional advanced active safety features in the new Mazda3 include a head-up display, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert.
