The 2021 Mazda3 sedan arrives looking mostly the same with the most significant changes coming under the hood. A new 2.0-liter four-cylinder acts as the base powertrain, producing 155 horsepower. The 2.5-liter engine remains with 185 hp while a new 2.5-liter turbocharged engine is now available with 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque going exclusively to all-wheel-drive. If you run on 93 octane gas, those figures increase to 250 hp and 320 lb-ft.
Some new equipment has been added to the turbocharged model but everything you loved about last year’s model remains here.
