New Features

The 2017 Mazda3 will now feature Mazda’s new G-Vectoring Control. This Mazda-exclusive technology uses the engine to refine the steering and handling to match the driver’s inputs. It will also offer enhanced sound insulation. This new features is aimed at complementing Mazda’s redesigned interior. The vehicle’s trim levels have been simplified as well. Those seeking the enjoyment of driving a manual transmission are certainly going to be pleased. The top-level, stick-shift Mazda3 Grand Touring will now be available with the Premium Package AND i-ACTIVSENSE. These new features are awesome!

As with last year, Mazda3 comes in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim levels. Models being designated as “i” (2.0-liter engine) or “s” (2.5-liter engine), Mazda has simplified the lineup with Sport and Touring models being equipped with the smaller engine and Touring 2.5 and Grand Touring models being equipped with the larger offering.

“We are more than happy to give our customers what they want with greater availability of the manual transmission,” said Robert Davis, senior VP, U.S. Operations, MNAO. “Mazda3 has a nearly 15-percent take rate for its manual transmission, with most of those buyers opting for higher trim levels. Where so many competitors have retreated in the segment, we see an opening to engage those who enjoy the driving experience without compromise.”
