Mazda has a vision for its future that looks and feels more premium even when it comes to their entry level sedan. This is the all new Mazda3. Its stylish design may just win your heart and render you accepting of its faults.

The 2019 Mazda3 sets a new milestone as the first production model to lead Mazda into a bold new era. Blending beautiful design and exhilarating driving dynamics, Mazda3 was developed to inspire and create an emotional bond with its customers in two very distinct ways. A completely new design approach was taken when styling the sedan and hatchback, each embodying strikingly different personalities. The 2019 Mazda3 will be introducing new package options meant to appeal to a wide range of customers. In addition to the standard models, Mazda3 sedan will be available in Select, Preferred and Premium packages, while Mazda3 hatchback will be offered in Preferred and Premium packages.

As a brand that keeps purist drivers in mind, Mazda continues to champion the manual transmission, offering Mazda3 Premium package front-wheel drive hatchbacks with an available SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission.

In February 2019, Mazda announced that a limited run of 3,000 Mazda MX-5 Miata 30th Anniversary models would be produced for worldwide distribution. Its striking Racing Orange paint scheme and unique, non-sequential serialized “30th Anniversary” badging commemorates the 30-year anniversary. While the refined Skyactiv-G engine, RAYS ZE40 17-inch Dark Gunmetal forged alloy wheels, orange Brembo front brake calipers and exclusive RECARO sports seats help heighten the trademark sporty driving experience of a MX-5 Miata. The world’s best-selling roadster will continue being a torchbearer for Mazda, helping to carry along its rich legacy and elevating the brand to a premium level.

The family’s growing. The kids have friends and sports no longer have an off-season. You’re in the market for a 3-row SUV. Sure, the neighbors all have Pilots and Highlanders but you go your own way. And that’s where Mazda fits in with the CX-9; a distinctly unique take on the family mobile.

MSRP as-tested: $49,230
