The fourth-generation 2024 Mazda Mazda3 Hatchback offers a distinctive and sporty design that sets it apart in the compact-car market. All variants are powered by a standard 186-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, while a turbocharged 2.5-liter with up to 250 horsepower is optionally available. The vehicle comes standard with a front-wheel-drive configuration, but Mazda's 'i-Activ' all-wheel drive is an optional extra. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox. The Mazda3 Hatchback is available in multiple trims, including the base model, Select, Preferred, Premium, and the top-performance Turbo variant. Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. The car is also equipped with a standard 8.8-inch infotainment display, which supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Significant changes for the 2024 model year include the addition of a Carbon Edition trim and improvements to the standard driver assist features.
