2019 Mazda 3: All-Wheel Drive Sedan and Hatchback

Introduction

If you're in the market for an all-wheel drive sedan or hatchback, you might consider vehicles from Audi, such as the A4 and A3, or from Mercedes with the CLA model. While Audi's Quattro system is renowned as one of the best all-wheel drive systems globally, Mazda's launch of the all-wheel drive version of its Mazda 3 positions it as an economical option that provides similar benefits to those offered by German manufacturers.

Engine Performance and Technology

The 2019 Mazda 3 is available in two body styles: sedan and hatchback, both equipped with an all-wheel drive system that enhances performance on challenging terrains compared to competitors with front or rear-wheel drive. It features a 2.4-liter engine powered by Mazda's Skyactiv technology, which has been integrated across their models in recent years.

Engine Specifications

• Engine Power: 186 horsepower
• Torque: 252 Nm
• Transmission: 6-speed automatic

These figures are impressive and well-suited for the all-wheel drive capabilities offered.

Exterior and Interior Design

In terms of both exterior and interior design, Mazda has retained the distinctive aesthetic from the previous year, characterized by the company's "Kodo" design language, which is gradually evolving into a more robust and elegant style. Inside, the Mazda 3 showcases a sporty and modern design that rivals higher-priced vehicles.

Conclusion

The Japanese automaker has unveiled the 2019 Mazda 3 with all-wheel drive following the announcements of several competing models for the year. Why? Mazda seems confident that its vehicle will stand out among other compact sedans.
