SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY

Under the hood, the 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback features a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV®-G engine producing 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain transforms highway merging from routine to confident, with linear acceleration that responds instantly to throttle input. The available i-Activ AWD® system continuously monitors road conditions 200 times per second, predicting traction needs before wheel slip occurs. Whether navigating rain-slicked city streets or weekend drives through winding roads, this intelligent system delivers composure.

KODO Design Philosophy

Every surface of this hatchback reflects Mazda’s KODO Design philosophy, where sculpted lines catch light differently throughout the day. The sloping roofline flows into a functional rear spoiler, while the wide stance communicates athletic intent. Inside, premium materials surround you — genuine leather wraps the steering wheel, soft-touch surfaces cover the dashboard, and available heated front seats warm quickly on chilly mornings. The 8.8-inch Mazda Connect™ display integrates seamlessly into the cabin architecture.

Hatchback Versatility Meets Premium Refinement

Fold the 60/40-split rear seats flat, and the 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback boasts 47 cubic feet of cargo space — enough for luggage, camping gear, or weekly grocery hauls. The hands-free power liftgate opens with a wave of your foot beneath the rear bumper when your arms are loaded with packages. Advanced i-Activsense® safety features include Smart Brake Support, which can automatically apply brakes if a frontal collision is detected, helping protect what matters most.
