Mazda3 wins the title of Canadian Car of the Year

The Mazda3 won the AJAC Canadian Car of the Year title this month at the Toronto Auto Show. This title comes after the new Mazda3 won the title of Best car in its segment last January.


"The all-new Mazda3 is an incredible engineering feat made possible by our passionate engineers and designers, and the addition of all-wheel drive to this car brings it even more in line with the needs and wants of Canadian consumers," said David Klan, President & CEO, Mazda Canada. "We are honoured and humbled to accept this award for the Mazda3, which is such an important part of our portfolio and is the first product to launch our new-generation of vehicles that are elevating the Mazda brand to a premium position."


The Mazda3 was completely redesigned in 2019 with a whole new style. It receives new technologies including the addition of all-wheel drive!


"The Mazda3 is not new to the title of Canadian Car of the Year and is among the most enduring nameplates in these awards," said Stephanie Wallcraft, AJAC President. "With the collective weight of AJAC members and their rigorous evaluations behind it, Canadians can be assured that the 2020 Mazda3 is among the very best vehicles available in our market today."
