Inside the 2025 Mazda 3 Sedan: What’s New?

For 2025, Mazda made some significant updates to the Mazda 3. The base model is now available as a sedan and hatchback, giving you more entry-level options, and all nonbase trims have Alexa integration for more voice command functionality. With the Premium and Turbo Premium Plus, you get a premium Bose audio system, which delivers immersive sound quality and is optional on the other trims. A head-up display, heated front seats, and leather upholstery are reserved for higher trims. With so many changes, now’s the perfect time to give it another look.

Design Philosophy and Enhanced Comfort

The 2025 Mazda 3 stands out through its use of Kia’s interior and exterior design philosophy — KODO: Soul of Motion — which emphasizes dynamic styling and a sense of motion even when stationary. This shows itself in the fluid lines of the luxurious interior.

Every Mazda 3 is designed with driver comfort in mind. The seats are ergonomically designed and use premium materials to remain comfort on even the longest of drives. The sculpted dashboard is minimalist yet sophisticated, with the soft-touch surfaces and optional leather upholstery enhancing the premium impression. Finally, improved sound insulation ensures a quieter ride so that you can enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, or audiobooks at a comfortable sound level.

Climate Control and Space

To increase comfort, the Mazda 3 allows you more control over climate, offering dual-zone automatic climate control, allowing the driver and front passenger to set individual temperature preferences. Rear passengers benefit from strategically placed air vents, ensuring a comfortable ride for everyone. 

The sedan’s trunk space is generous, providing ample room for your luggage and daily essentials. Thoughtful storage solutions, including a center console and deep door pockets, add to practicality. While taller passengers may feel cramped in the rear seats, most people find that the Mazda 3 offers enough space for a comfortable drive.

State-Of-The-Art Technology Integration

One of the first things you’ll notice when you get behind the wheel of the new Mazda 3 is the numerous amount of modern technologies. Some of the highlights include:

  • A standard 8.8-inch infotainment display system (an upgraded 10.3-inch touchscreen with dial and touch-based controls is available)
  • Alexa Built-in for hands-free convenience
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility

A Bose 12-speaker premium audio system for the Premium and Turbo Premium Plus trims is also available if you want the best possible audio experience. With a responsive infotainment system and seamless smartphone integration, among many other features, the Mazda 3 ensures that you stay connected while keeping your focus on the road.

Connectivity at Your Fingertips

The 2025 Mazda 3 Sedan makes staying connected easy. For starters, Bluetooth connectivity allows seamless pairing with smartphones, enabling hands-free calls and music streaming to minimize distraction while driving. There are also more advanced voice commands available, such as allowing you to control navigation, adjust climate settings, and check the weather with simple spoken requests. With the Mazda 3 you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel without sacrificing convenience or entertainment.

Select trims also feature wireless charging for your phones to eliminate cable clutter, as well as SiriusXM satellite radio, which offers a wide range of entertainment options. So, whether you’re commuting or embarking on a road trip, the Mazda 3’s connectivity features ensure you have a fun and hassle-free experience.

Advanced Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is a top priority for Mazda, which is why they equipped the 2025 Mazda 3 Sedan with an extensive suite of driver-assistance features and safety technologies. A few of these advanced features include:

  • Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
  • A Lane departure warning
  • A Lane-keeping assist
  • Automatic high beams that enhance nighttime visibility

The sedan’s sturdy build and advanced crash protection are two of the key reasons why the Mazda 3 has scored well on crash test ratings.

Wheel designs range from standard silver alloys to sporty black aluminum options.

For upholstery, you can select cloth, leatherette, or premium leather in colors such as black, red, or white.
