What kind of car is the 2019 Mazda 3?
Notably, we picked the 2019 Mazda 3 as one of Edmunds’ Best AWD Sedans for this year. The 2019 Mazda 3 is a small sedan or hatchback sold in a small number of trims, which Mazda now calls “packages.” The base model sedan is very lightly equipped, but the Select package adds quite a bit of equipment at a reasonable cost.
Is the Mazda 3 AWD good for winter?
A 3 riding on all-season tires was able to navigate the track easily with almost no interventions from the traction control system. On proper winter tires, it was even better, feeling sharp and agile. It’ll even rotate on throttle, if you decide you want to have a bit of fun.
What kind of suspension does a Mazda 3 have?
The rear seats are nicely contoured. The Mazda 3 is meant to be a sporty sedan, so it has a well-controlled suspension that limits body motion. While this makes the ride stiffer than most, the suspension is compliant and absorbs bumps and pavement irregularities quite well.

Can you get all wheel drive on a Mazda3?
One of the high points of Mazda’s trim walk is that you can get all-wheel drive in almost any trim. However, the star of the show is the Premium trim because of the great features packed into it. Mazda is asking for a few thousand more than the economy competition for the Mazda3 Premium, but not as much as the luxury brands.
Which is the best looking Mazda on the market?
It’s a pleasure to say the 2019 Mazda3 sedan is the best-looking economy compact on the market. As usual, Mazda’s craftsmen got the lines and proportions just right. The front end is bold without being heavy, and the entire car suggests speed and agility.
What are the features of the new Mazda3?
Tech is a big part of Mazda’s push to premium. In the new Mazda3, it takes the form of an updated user interface for the infotainment system, the usual assortment of driver assistance and safety features, and a few really smart changes that other premium brands haven’t done yet.
