The Mazda3 is the AJAC Canadian Car of the Year Winner… Again

The 2021 Mazda3 was named Canadian Car of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada this week, winning the prestigious award for the second year in a row and for the third time overall since it arrived in 2004.


The 2021 Mazda3 received the most points from AJAC journalists in the following categories: Quality, Driver Position & Ergonomics, Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH), Performance, Vehicle Dynamics, and Safety.


"This is a historic win for Mazda and we are honoured to be the first to reach these milestones with AJAC," said David Klan, President & CEO, Mazda Canada. "The Mazda3 has always been a core model in our lineup that reflects our philosophy and brand strengths, and this award once again shows that our dedication to designing and crafting the very finest is paying dividends."


Offered with all-wheel drive, the 2021 Mazda3 delivers exclusive technology such as G-Vectoring Control as well as impressive powertrains such as a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo that delivers 250 horsepower.


"AJAC members continue to view the fourth-generation Mazda3 as worthy of recognition by presenting it with our association's highest honour for a second year in a row," said AJAC President Stephanie Wallcraft. "It's fitting to see history being made with this record-breaking achievement in the Canadian Car of the Year awards as AJAC celebrates its milestone 40th anniversary in 2021."
