This naturally aspirated engine produces 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque, giving it noticeably more pull than the 2.0-liter version found in lower trims.

The SKYACTIV-G engine uses a high compression ratio design — 13.0:1 — to extract efficiency from regular-grade gasoline without the complexity of a turbocharger, making it a mechanically clean and reliable setup. Expect real-world fuel economy in the range of 27-35 mpg depending on how and where you drive.Mazda Mazda3 Features and Interior The Touring trim brings a meaningful step up in equipment over the base Sport.
