This award puts the new Mazda3 in an exclusive class of vehicles. Kbb.com describes the Mazda3 as a fun-to-drive sedan than delivers efficiency and style. Very few vehicles in the Mazda3's price range can match its well-crafted performance. This is music to the ears of the drivers who are seeking an affordable sedan that delivers a daily dose of excitement. Here is a brief summary of what the 2015 Mazda3 has to offer.

One of the Mazda3’s best attributes is its outstanding value. Prices for the base model start at about $16,945. Although the upper trim levels carry a slightly more expensive price tag, a very well-equipped model can still be purchased for less than $25,000.

The 2015 Mazda3 is available with several exciting features. Even the base 3i SV trim comes with a folding rear seat and full power accessories. The standard stereo system is also designed with an iPod hookup, which is a major convenience for music lovers. The 3i Sport trim brings even more luxurious features, including a seven-inch touch-screen display and Bluetooth phone connectivity. Some of the other high-end features include navigation, a Bose surround-sound audio system, adaptive headlights, shift paddles and dual-zone climate control. However, Kbb.com reveals that its favorite feature is the Mazda Connect infotainment system.

Kbb.com praises the 2015 Mazda3 for its array of advanced safety features. Stability and traction control come standard on every model. Some of the high-tech options include blind-spot monitoring, a lane departure warning system, a rear-view camera and an exclusive Smart City Brake Support system. The sedan’s five-star safety rating also gives drivers a bit of extra assurance on the road.

With a total output of 150 horsepower, the four-cylinder base engine enables the Mazda3 to deliver a lively performance. Not only is the base 2.0-liter engine very peppy, but it is also extremely fuel-efficient. Expect to get over 40 mpg when traveling on the open road. Prospective buyers can choose either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission. Engineered with SkyActiv technology, the 2.5-liter engine pushes out an impressive 184 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque. This powerful engine makes the Mazda3 one of the quickest cars in its class. Mazda’s special i-Eloop regenerative braking system helps the more potent engine to maintain great fuel efficiency.

Offered in the form of a sedan or hatchback, the new 2015 Mazda3 is a stylish daily-driver that is designed to stand out from the crowd. While the base model has a very fashionable appearance, the higher trim levels display even more flair. The available 18-inch performance wheels give the Mazda3 the look of a true sports sedan.
