The Mazda3 Wins AJAC’s Best Small Car Award

The Mazda3 was named the Best Small Car in Canada for the sixth time by the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada. The award opens the door for the Canadian Car of the Year award which will be handed out next month.


The Mazda3 was completely redesigned in 2019 with a new style, improved interior, a new available all-wheel drive system and better fuel economy.


"Mazda extends its winning record in the Canadian Car of the Year awards by claiming the trophy for Best Small Car in Canada for 2020," said Stephanie Wallcraft, President of AJAC. "AJAC members represent the largest collective of automotive journalist expertise in the country, and their rigorous testing takes place on the roads and weather conditions found from coast to coast. For the Mazda3 to emerge as a winner after our members' months of objective assessment is a true achievement."
