Подробнее о видео

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2024 Mazda 3 AWD compact sedan. Recently on the channel, we have been reviewing some affordable sedan options and the Mazda3 is not exception. While it may not work for everyone as it does lack some interior legroom especially in the second row, it sure is a blast to drive.
We have the non-turbo 2024 Mazda 3 and we're not sure we would move up to the turbo, it has great power and the fuel economy is better. We are driving the GT AWD Mazda3 with a 2.5L 4-cylinder matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque.
Unfortunately, in the US, the two top trims only offer the turbocharged powertrain so if you want all the extra features you have to go for these trims. The non-turbo 2024 Mazda 3 Preferred or Carbon Edition offer some great features but not as many as this GT model in Canada which has features like the Bose sound system, the 10.25” display, navigation and a heated steering wheel. You are also limited to colour options on the Carbon Edition trim.
Standard 2024 Mazda 3 features include, an 8.8” display with Mazda Connect, wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 7” LCD display, manual heated cloth front seast, 8-speaker audio system, push button start and blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
In the US, heated front seats are not standard but available on the Preferred model.
In Canada, the 2024 Mazda 3 GX FWD model starts at $26,695 CAD, GS FWD $29,195 CAD, GS AWD $33,395 CAD, GT FWD $34,995 CAD, GT AWD $36,995 CAD and GT Turbo $39,395 CAD.
In the US, 2024 Mazda 3 2.5S FWD $24,170 USD, 2.5 S Select Sport FWD $24,690 USD, 2.5 S Preferred FWD $26,190 USD, 2.5 S Carbon Edition AWD $29,060 USD, 2.5 T Carbon AWD $31,750 USD and 2.5 T Premium Plus AWD $35,450 USD.
The non-turbo 2024 Mazda 3 engine gets impressive fuel economy on the highway 6.6L/100 km, 35 MPG and 8.9L/100 km, 26 MPG in the city.
Our 2024 Mazda 3 GT model has the Soul Red Crystal metallic exterior with a leather trimmed black interior. The fit and finish is quite beautiful for this non-luxury segment, it’s simplistic but definitely feels more premium.
Standard features on the 2024 Mazda 3 GT include, a gloss black grille, larger exhaust outlets, black exterior accents, 18” wheels, an adaptive front lighting system, automatic headlight leveling, 10.25” display with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a power driver’s seat, driver seat memory, navigation, a 360-view monitor, a wireless phone charger, moonroof and the option of a red leather trimmed interior.
