The all-new, fourth-generation Mazda3 will include Mazda’s revolutionary SkyActiv-X gasoline engine, which uses compression ignition like a diesel, plus a real diesel engine option and available all-wheel drive. The 2019 Mazda3 comes in hatchback or sedan form, and is expected at dealers early in 2019.
Mazda unveiled the all-new, fourth generation 2019 Mazda3 during the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. The completely redesigned compact model boasts the latest in the firm’s SkyActiv line of efficiency-boosting technologies plus an eye-catching design.
The 2019 Mazda3 is available as a four-door sedan and as a hatchback, but the two cars look very little alike. Where the sedan hews to Mazda’s established look and feel, the hatchback features a striking rear-end treatment that is likely to be polarizing to hot hatch fans. At the unveiling, Mazda designers emphasized the effort put into creating a fluid look and reflective body surfaces in both designs, but mainly leaned to the hatchback as their example.
Inside, the two versions feature an 8.8-inch floating display screen mounted high on the dashboard like in the current model. A redesigned control dial wheel has been included, as well as a simplified user interface.
