The i-ACTIVSENSE package includes several all-new safety installations for a more confident drive in heavy traffic flow.

The 2019 Mazda3 Offers Class-Leading Handling

The 2019 Mazda3 has a standard SKYACTIV-G 2.0 four-cylinder engine that delivers up to 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque in the GX and GS trims. Optional in the GS trim, the SKYACTIV-G 2.5 engine produces 186 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. The fuel economy for this Mazda sedan is 9.2 L/100 km on the highway and 7.0 L/100 km in the city.

The standard gearbox is a six-speed SKYACTIV-MT transmission and is designed for those who enjoy a sporty drive. The six-speed SKYACTIV-DRIVE automatic transmission is also available. The optional i-ACTIV All-Wheel-Drive system is available this year and when paired with the standard G-Vectoring Torque Control system will work wonders on your daily commute as well as on spirited weekend drives. Hill Launch Assist and Dynamic Stability Control are standard in the event that you put yourself in a challenging position or through rough weather.

Advanced Safety Packages in the 2019 Mazda3

The Premium Package gives the 2019 Mazda3 class-leading safety technology. Using high-resolution cameras to scan the road, the Traffic Sign Recognition System increases your awareness of rules on the road. The Smart Brake Support Rear activates the brakes when you back up into the path of another vehicle or person. Not part of the Premium Package, the Driver Attention Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are some other amenities that make you more aware of dangerous situations.

This Mazda sedan also has accident avoidance features that collectively make up the i-ACTIVSENSE suite. The Smart Brake Support reacts to the threat of an accident in heavy traffic flow, especially in the city. Forward-facing sensors also determine the risk level of an accident involving pedestrians. Part of the Convenience Package, the Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring System supplements the Lane Departure Warning. Additionally, you’ll get reliable steering help from the Lane Keeping Assist that prevents side collisions.
