Why the 2025 Mazda3 Stands Out!

Engaging Driving Dynamics!

Mazda's commitment to driving enjoyment shines brightly in the 2025 Mazda3. With two spirited engine options and available i-Activ AWD, it delivers a responsive and confident ride that makes every turn feel intentional and every journey rewarding.

Exceptional Craftsmanship and Design!

From its flowing exterior lines, embodying Mazda's Kodo design philosophy, to its thoughtfully arranged and premium-appointed interior, the 2025 Mazda3 exudes a level of sophistication uncommon in its class. It’s built to captivate the eye and soothe the senses.

Seamlessly Integrated Technology!

Stay connected and informed with an intuitive infotainment system, now featuring wireless smartphone integration and available embedded Alexa capability. The Mazda3’s technology is designed to enhance your drive without overwhelming it, keeping your focus where it belongs – on the road ahead.

Comprehensive Safety as Standard!

Every 2025 Mazda3 is equipped with a robust suite of i-Activsense safety features, acting as an intelligent co-pilot to help you navigate with greater awareness and peace of mind on every trip.

The 2025 Mazda3 at Sierra Mazda in Ottawa offers an unmatched blend of style, performance, and peace of mind.


My Thoughts on the Mazda3’s Engaging Performance!

Power Tuned for Pure Driving Pleasure!

When I get behind the wheel of the 2025 Mazda3, I always appreciate the choice of powertrains. Each is designed to provide a distinct yet exhilarating experience.

  • The standard SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine delivers a robust 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. This engine, paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission (or an available 6-speed manual on select hatchback models), provides a lively and efficient performance perfect for daily commutes and spirited drives.
  • For those who desire even more exhilaration, the available SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine truly awakens the Mazda3’s potential. This turbocharged powerhouse unleashes up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque (when using premium fuel). It offers immediate and potent acceleration that makes highway merging and passing maneuvers feel effortless.
2025 Mazda3 Performance

Confident Handling with i-Activ AWD!

The driving feel of the Mazda3 is something special. Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) subtly adjusts engine torque and brake application based on steering inputs. This results in a smoother, more controlled ride that minimizes body roll and enhances stability, particularly during cornering. This makes for a more intuitive and less fatiguing drive.

Both engine options are available with Mazda’s intelligent i-Activ AWD system. It constantly monitors road conditions and driver input, proactively adjusting power delivery to the wheels that need it most. This ensures enhanced grip and stability, providing confident handling whether you’re navigating slick roads in an Illinois winter or enjoying a sunny summer cruise.

2025 Mazda3 All-Wheel Drive
  • I am consistently impressed by the responsive acceleration offered by both engine choices.
  • The available turbocharged engine provides a truly exhilarating power boost.
  • The standard G-Vectoring Control Plus and available i-Activ AWD contribute to the Mazda3's renowned agile and confident handling.

My Favorite Performance Highlights:

  • I love having the choice of two powerful and efficient engines!
  • The available turbocharged engine offers amazing, instant power.
  • G-Vectoring Control Plus makes handling feel incredibly smooth and responsive.
  • Available i-Activ AWD is perfect for confident driving in any weather.
