The 2021 Guide de l’Auto hit the market this month. Once again this year, the team of specialist journalists share a wealth of information on all models on the market, and determine the top 3 best choices in each category.
This year, unsurprisingly, the Guide de l’Auto has named the popular Mazda3 the best buy in the compact vehicle category. It finished first far ahead of the Toyota Corolla, Kia Forte, Honda Civic and Subaru Impreza, among others. In the end, it got 4.5 / 5.
To determine the winning model, the team rated fuel consumption, reliability, safety and drivability, in addition to giving an overall rating. "The Guide's rating takes into account the purchase of a vehicle as a whole. A vehicle can be very fun to drive, well built, efficient, but suffer from a very low resale value, which will cost you money. […] Our rating takes all of these parameters into account to give you the correct advice when shopping for a vehicle ".
The Guide de l’Auto team highlights, among other things, the new features that make the Mazda3 a special choice: availability of all-wheel drive and turbocharged engine, redesigned interior and more refined styling. Power, torque and all-wheel drive, guaranteed driving pleasure, successful styling and very good finish quality are among the strengths raised by expert journalist Louis-Philippe Dubé.
For 2021, the Mazda3 and Mazda3 Sport are equipped with the efficient Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter engine, rated to deliver 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque with front-wheel drive. The Mazda3 sedan and hatchback will continue to offer the Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter engine capable of 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, and available in front-wheel drive or i-Activ all-wheel drive.
And after listening to the voice of customers and fans, Mazda is bringing the powerful 2.5T into the mix, offering up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque (on premium 93 octane fuel) and paired with i-Activ AWD as standard. All Mazda3 models come standard with G-Vectoring Control Plus.
All around, each variation is skillfully developed to provide a responsive and confident driving experience.
Come meet the Mazda 2-20 team to discover the Mazda3 that meets your needs and to test the vehicle on the road.
