What's New for the 2026 Mazda3?
The 2026 Mazda3 isn't really changing much from last year's model, but the automaker is making some slight upgrades that provide more value for your money. Notably, an eight-speaker sound system now comes standard on all trim lines, which makes it easier to listen to music or podcasts as if you were in the studio yourself.
What are the 2026 Mazda3 Trims and Features?
There are four different trim levels to choose from with the 2.5 S serving as the base model while the 2.5 S Premium Plus serves as the top option. You can choose between a hatchback or sedan regardless of which trim you choose. The Sport Select trim comes with leatherette and 18-inch wheels designed to make it easier to go off-road. Higher trim levels come with Alexa, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and real-time maps that update automatically.

How Much Horsepower Does the Mazda3 Have?
All trim levels come with a front-wheel drive (FWD) standard transmission that is capable of generating up to 186 horsepower. However, you can opt for an all-wheel drive transmission to make it easier to control the vehicle at higher speeds or slick terrain. The Premium Plus trim comes with an optional turbocharged engine capable of generating up to 250 horsepower.
What Safety Features Does the Mazda3 Have?
The 2026 Mazda3 comes with a number of advanced safety tools such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and adaptable cruise control. You'll also have access to tools such as blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts and vehicle exit alerts. These tools all work together to minimize your risk of an accident or the severity of any collision that might occur.
