2013 Mazda3 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Mazda's 2.0-liter 4-cylinder SKYACTIV-G engine — a standout piece of engineering that Mazda introduced to bring genuine fuel efficiency without sacrificing driving enjoyment. The SKYACTIV-G technology uses a high compression ratio to extract more energy from every drop of fuel, delivering strong real-world gas mileage — typically around 28 city and 40 highway MPG — without turbochargers or hybrid complexity.

Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode, this Mazda3 gives you the flexibility to let the car shift smoothly on its own or take control when you want a more engaged driving experience. Front-wheel drive keeps handling predictable and manageable in wet Bay Area weather, and the Mazda3's well-tuned suspension gives it a ride quality that's more planted and sporty than most compact competitors in this class.

The interior is designed around driver ergonomics, with well-placed controls and good outward visibility that makes city driving and parking easier than in many competitors.

The rear seat offers reasonable legroom for a compact sedan, and the trunk is among the more practical in its class. Build quality on this generation of Mazda3 is consistently praised — the cabin materials feel more premium than the price tag suggests, and the overall fit and finish holds up well at higher mileage.
