Interior Features

With seven different trim packages, this car is all about options. But whether you choose the 2.5 S with cloth-trimmed seats or the 2.5 Turbo with Greige Leatherette, or even the Carbon Edition with its red leather seats, all of them are sport seats that are designed for maximum comfort. With room for five passengers, the back 60/40 split-folding seats also give you the option of extra cargo space, with Car & Driver tested cargo space for up to five passengers and five bags or up to 16 bags with the back seats folded.

While all trim packages offer a convenient 7-inch instrumentation panel, the Premium, Turbo, and turbo Premium packages add a full-color, windshield-projected active driving display. And with Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry and push-button start across all trim packages, you’ll get convenience no matter the package you choose.


Exterior Features

This hatchback’s sleek appearance makes it a stunning addition to Mazda’s lineup. 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels on all trim packages come in either a gray or black metallic finish. With up to 6 colors to choose from, you can pick the one that’s right for you. And with a black front grille and roof spoiler, as well as an optional roof-mounted sharkfin antenna and power sliding glass moonroof, you’ll be turning heads as you pass by.


Tech and Safety Features

One thing Mazda is known for is its safety, and this model is no exception. Besides the standard safety features, such as front and side airbags and 3-point safety belts for all passengers, Mazda has included dynamic stability control, traction control, blind spot monitoring, rear traffic alert, driver attention alerts, lane-keep assistance, and so much more in its safety package for 2023.

Impressive tech means that these vehicles come equipped with an eight or 12-speaker audio system, fully-integrated Apple or Android integration, radar cruise control with stop-and-go, and three free years of Mazda Connected Services.


New Features for 2023

Mazda focused its updates on the performance category this year, upping the horsepower and the fuel economy, meaning you’ll have more oomph but use less gas. With a 2.5-L Skyactiv-G engine, you’ll get 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. And updated fuel efficiency gives this engine an EPA-estimated 28 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway, for a combined 31 MPG.


With so much to love, it’s no wonder that this is one of Mazda’s best-selling vehicles. This car is high on safety and reliability while delivering a high-end feel without the high-end price, not to mention its head-turning appearance.
