KODO design language and changes in size
The 2026 Mazda3 boasts a sportier and more attractive appearance thanks to size adjustments. Specifically, the car is 80 mm longer, while the height is lowered by 10 mm (sedan version) and 30 mm (hatchback version). The wheelbase is 2,725 mm, an increase of 25 mm compared to the previous generation, giving the car a longer and more luxurious look.
The Mazda3's lighting system utilizes full LED technology with slim, sharp-looking headlights and taillights. Notably, the Premium version is equipped with adaptive LED headlights and a cornering light function. Depending on the version, the car will use either 16-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels.
The Human Centric cockpit is minimalist and technologically advanced.
The interior of the 2026 Mazda3 follows a driver-centric design philosophy. The dashboard area tends to extend to the left, making it easy for the driver to operate. The 8.8-inch central infotainment screen is mounted prominently and supports various connections such as USB, AUX, and Bluetooth.
Premium leather upholstery is used on most versions, with the Deluxe version featuring fabric seats. Notable amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, automatic anti-glare mirrors, push-button start, and a head-up display (HUD) on higher trim levels.
i-Activsense operational performance and safety system
