2021 Mazda3 Wins Its Segment In AJAC’s Canadian Car of the Year Awards

The Automotive Journalists Association of Canada has named the 2021 Mazda3 Best Mid-Size Car in Canada over the weekend. This coveted award means that the Mazda3 is now eligible for the Canadian Car of the Year award that will be handed out later this year. This is the second year in a row that the Mazda3 is eligible for the prestigious award.


The 2021 Mazda3 was redesigned in 2019 and features a range of features that appeal to consumers. Three engines including a turbocharged, 250-horsepower four-cylinder, two distinct body styles including a Sport hatchback model, and available all-wheel drive are just part of the Mazda3’s offering.


"On behalf of everyone at Mazda who has worked so hard to ensure the Mazda3 is a truly world-class product worthy of repeat selection, I'm very honoured to receive this award," said David Klan, President & CEO, Mazda Canada. "Even with new and improved models being introduced all the time, the Mazda3 can stand the test of time thanks to its combination of award-winning design, premium craftsmanship, engaging driving dynamics, and long-term reliability."
