G-Vectoring Control Plus subtly adjusts engine torque and braking to settle the chassis when you turn the wheel, so the car feels composed and smooth on I-894, Layton Avenue, or your favorite backroads. If you appreciate engagement, you’ll also find an available SKYACTIV®-MT 6-speed manual on the 2.5 S Premium, while most trims feature the refined SKYACTIV®-Drive automatic. Every mile feels deliberate, precise, and rewarding—the hallmark of Mazda driving.
Inside the 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback, everything feels purpose-built. The seating position, pedal alignment, and steering weight work in unison to reduce fatigue and make each drive feel natural. Materials and design cues echo the brand’s premium philosophy, while practical tech—like available wireless charging, Alexa Built-in, and Mazda Connect™—keeps your routine streamlined. Whether you’re lining up a podcast before merging onto I-41 or asking Alexa to adjust the temperature, the experience is simple and seamless.
