2024 Mazda 3 review
The Mazda 3 has received a minor tech upgrade for MY24, though the local range no longer offers any manual or mild-hybrid options.
The venerable Mazda 3 recently offered one the widest range of models in its segment, but it has been significantly cut back with its most recent update.
You can no longer get the Mazda 3 with a manual transmission, nor with a mild-hybrid powertrain. The entire range is now automatic-only and the two petrol engines on offer are non-electrified.
With these changes to the Japanese carmaker’s small hatch and sedan, the base asking price now starts beyond $30k for the first time. The Mazda 3 range now starts at $30,320 before on-roads for the G20 Pure, and extends to $42,320 before on-roads for the G25 Astina.
Beyond this, Mazda has also made some upgrades to the 3’s in-car tech. A larger 10.25-inch screen is available across the range, and certain variants gain wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a wireless phone charger.
I famously called the current-generation Mazda 3 one of the best-looking new cars you can buy in one of our recent team op-ed stories, but does this update make you want to consider it over a similarly sized and priced SUV?
Pros
- Finally gets the option of a larger screen
- Excellent driving dynamics
- Upmarket interior presentation
Cons
- No touchscreen functionality while driving
- Zoomed-in driver's side mirror
- Tight second-row space
