The options can appear endless when shopping for a new car in Oxnard, Venture, Camarillo, Port Hueneme, or Santa Paula. A sedan might not be the first thought for many these days, but the 2025 Mazda3 Sedan makes an incredibly strong case for itself. It’s small enough for the town or city and comfortable and powerful enough for all-day driving on the highway. Check out the Mazda3 Sedan for yourself, and you won’t be disappointed.
The 2025 Mazda 3 Sedan is an excellent choice for those who prefer lots of options when selecting a vehicle, even if they know what nameplate they want to buy. There are six versions to select from with a Mazda3 Sedan, a significant number for a small automobile in the current market. The 2.5 S is the entry-level model in the family and is even more cost-effective this year than in the previous model year. Nevertheless, the 2.5 S Select Sport or one of the higher-spec variants will be the first choice for most consumers. The 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Carbon Edition, 2.5 Carbon Turbo, and the top-of-the-line 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus models sit above the 2.5 S Select Sport in the 2025 lineup.
None of the 2025 Mazda3 Sedan‘s engines disappoint. The first four models get the naturally aspirated four-cylinder, while the top two get the turbo-four. Non-turbo power comes from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 191 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. The more potent 2.5-liter turbo-four produces 250 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. The front wheels receive power from a six-speed automatic transmission. Only the 2.5 S Carbon Edition, 2.5 Carbon Turbo, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus vehicles differ. These models come with Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD, making them exceptions. That sets the Mazda3 Sedan apart from most competitors.
Front-drive models get 27 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined fuel economy. AWD versions follow with 23/32/27 mpg, respectively. The exception is the 2.5 S Carbon Edition. Since it is the only AWD variant without a turbo-four, it gets 26/35/30 mpg for city/highway/combined driving.
Six distinct 2025 Mazda3 Sedan variants are available, each with features and specs designed to meet buyers’ needs with varying tastes and budgets. All of the seats in the range are supportive and comfy, and the quality of the interior is top-notch. Most buyers will skip the entry-level 2.5 S Select Sport models and go straight for the more advanced options. Since it comes with all-wheel drive and a long list of standard amenities without the higher-powered engine, the 2.5 S Carbon Edition seems to be a great choice at an attractive price. However, the specifications are outstanding if you can afford the Carbon Edition or a higher model. Features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, eight-or twelve-speaker audio systems, and leather upholstery are all standard equipment. The Turbo Premium Plus even gives the option of Black or White leather upholstery, another premium option rarely seen in this class.
The 2025 Mazda3 Sedan is a small car with a big personality and a lot to offer. It can be a small and affordable car for the city or something more powerful, impressively luxurious, and well-equipped at the other end of the trim level spectrum.
