The 2021 Mazda3 Turbo escalates what a compact vehicle can do

The Mazda3 has earned quite a reputation in Canada, winning prestigious awards such as World Car Design of the Year. However, awards don’t stop Mazda from continuing to make this vehicle even more exciting. Also, because of customer feedback, Mazda3 will now offer a turbocharged Skyactiv-G 2.5T engine with the 2021 lineup. 

Enter a new performance world with the 2021 Mazda3 Turbo

Many speculated that the Mazda3 could not get much better since it already had some of the most notable response and power in its class. Mazda rose to the challenge to develop the Skyactiv-G 2.5 turbocharged engine with up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque (93 octane). Even with standard unleaded gasoline, it outputs 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. 

Special calibrations within the engine cater to passionate drivers by delivering unique dynamics. It works closely with the i-Activ all-wheel drive system to refine the Mazda3’s handling, and the high torque invigorates its response. When you tell the Skyactiv-G 2.5T to do something, it follows suit. 

The engine is available with the 2021 Mazda3, Mazda Sport GT and Mazda3 100th Anniversary Edition. The GT Turbo trim line enhances your driving experience with a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, heated front seats with leather upholstery and a leather-covered shift knob. 

Surround yourself in safety with 2021 Mazda3 Turbo features

The GT Turbo adds specialized protection as you experiment with the vehicle’s dynamics. These include technologies that are part of the i-Activesense technology suite, showcasing Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keep Assist and much more. 

Although the standard safety package across all turbo models adds confidence, the available Premium Package for the 2021 GT Turbo features new i-Activsense technologies. These include: Traffic Jam Assist, Smart Brake Support Rear with Smart Brake Support Rear Crossing, 360-degree View Monitor, and more. 

The Mazda3 Turbo interior offers many features that make each of these models even more irresistible. The Bose 12-speaker premium audio system adds the perfect sound to your adventure, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto find the perfect tune. 

The 2021 Mazda3 Turbo offers even more amenities than we can’t name here. You can shop for your Mazda3 online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
