2022 Mazda3: A few reasons to consider the Mazda sedan

The Mazda3 Is one of the best-selling compact cars in Canada and it has been since it arrived on the market in 2003. The Mazda3 has been able to time and time again stand out in its competitive segment by offering its owners a perfect balance of comfort and driving pleasure to go along with impressive fuel economy. Then, three years ago, Mazda did something even more impressive when it decided to add all-wheel drive to its already very popular compact vehicle.

One of the few compact sedans in its segment to offer all-wheel drive

The addition of all-wheel drive means that the Mazda3 can take on any climate with the same confidence that it takes on a winding road. The Mazda3 is one of the few cars in its segment to offer all-wheel drive and the 2022 model offers it for a very accessible price. An all-wheel-drive sedan for around $30,000? It’s possible with the 2022 Mazda3. 

The 2022 Mazda3 is powered out of the gate by a 2 L four-cylinder engine that delivers 155 horsepower along with 150 pound-feet of torque. This engine is not only one of the most powerful in the segment, but it is also one of the most fuel-efficient with an average fuel consumption rating of just 8.4 litres per 100 km in the city, and 6.6 L per 100 km on the highway. 

The other engine option is a very powerful 2.5 litre with 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. This engine isn’t just powerful, it’s also very fuel-efficient with an average fuel consumption rating of 8.9 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway. Even if you add all-wheel drive, you will still enjoy a very fuel-efficient vehicle with an average consumption rating of just 9.3 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway. 

The new engine in the 2022 Mazda3 lineup introduced last year is a very powerful turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers over 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. This engine is truly remarkable and shines by being one of the most powerful in its class while also offering all-wheel drive.
