In Los Angeles, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, Hawthorne, or Inglewood, the 2025 Mazda3 Hatchback stands out as a stylish and appealing alternative if you want a distinctive compact car for daily commutes or family use. Sedans may be the go-to body style for many, but the Mazda3 Hatchback is a stunning and practical design that’s undoubtedly worth closer investigation. So, if a five-door hatchback hasn’t crossed your mind before, check out the impressive 2025 Mazda3 Hatchback.
Although the car is small, the 2025 Mazda3 Hatchback lineup is quite substantial with no fewer than seven models. The most affordable model is the entry-level 2.5 S, which is even more affordable this year. The rest of the trim levels, in ascending order, are the 2.5 S Select Sport, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Carbon Edition, 2.5 S Premium, 2.5 Carbon Turbo, and top-of-the-line 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus. While the name of the top trim is lengthy, it comes with an equally extensive array of standard features and equipment.
As you’d probably expect, the 2025 Mazda3 Hatchback skips the big, gas-guzzling engines and high-octane performance in favor of refinement and efficiency. However, there’s plenty of get-up-and-go available, especially with the turbo engine option. All models up to and including the 2.5 S Premium trim level get a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 191 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is lively and efficient and very suitable for a compact hatch. But if you want a significant increase in performance, the 2.5 Carbon Turbo and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus exceed expectations with a 2.5-liter turbo-four that develops 227 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque on regular fuel. Run this engine on premium gas, and then it gives you 250 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft.
Four of the seven trim levels have front-wheel drive paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.5 S Carbon Edition, 2.5 Carbon Turbo, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus models get standard AWD. You can even have a manual transmission if you want one by opting for the 2.5 S Premium model.
It’s hard to find fault with the 2025 Mazda3 Hatchback, especially once inside. The interior at every level is stylish and comfortable, with seating for up to five people. The quality of materials used throughout the range is excellent, and the whole car is put together so well that you could easily mistake it for a luxury model. Except for the entry-level model, every Mazda3 now includes Alexa functionality. The standard infotainment screen is an 8.8-inch infotainment display that looks a little bigger than those stated dimensions. Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, but Turbo models have a bigger, 10.3-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. The Turbo Premium Plus certainly lives up to its range-topping status with a standard 12-speaker Bose sound system, a head-up display, traffic sign recognition, and perforated leather upholstery available in black or red.
There’s more to the compact vehicle world than SUVs, and the 2025 Mazda3 Hatchback is a shining example of a stylish, practical, and very desirable alternative.
