Mazda has gone all-in on its 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G motor with updates for the 2023 model year, though the improvements come at a price.

are relatively minimal, but cover the entire range with price increases, an improvement in efficiency, and a new base trim level.Mazda has offered the base 3 model with a 2.0-liter engine good for 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque, offered with either front- or all-wheel drive and only available with an automatic transmission. But now that relatively weak engine has been nixed from the Mazda 3 trim lineup, replaced by the familiar but recently"enhanced" naturally-aspirated 2.

Included in the base model, and standard on all Mazda 3 trims, is Mazda's G-Vectoring Control Plus system, i-Activsense safety tech including radar cruise control, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, driver attention alert, and high-beam control, as well as three years of complimentary Mazda Connected Services and a three-month trial for the in-car Wi-Fi hotspot.

Also standard across the lineup is an 8.8-inch infotainment display, push button start, remote keyless entry, a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, rain-sensing wipers, black cloth seats, two USB ports, an eight-speaker audio system, automatic LED lights, and the base car comes on 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels.The"enhanced" 2.5 engine is not only more powerful but also more fuel efficient in non-turbo guise now.
