The fourth-generation Mazda 3 was a significant jump from the model it replaced. New platform, completely redesigned interior, updated safety features, and styling that leaned hard into the premium direction. For a car in the mainstream hatch segment, it arrived with a lot to say.
Amelia picks out five features that set the new 3 apart from the competition at launch: the G-Vectoring Control Plus, the cabin materials step up, the new infotainment approach, the updated head-up display, and the Mi-Drive system. Each one gets a clear explanation without the glossy brochure language.
The Mazda 3 had always been the hatch for buyers who wanted a little more thoughtfulness from their purchase. The fourth generation gave them more reasons to choose it.
