2022 MAZDA3 Performance Features

The 2022 Mazda3 is proof that big things come in small packages. This compact vehicle has tons to offer in the performance department alone. Find out what automotive technology this sedan and hatchback provide that optimizes performance and handling.

Engine

Under the hood is a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 Turbo engine capable of 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. This delivers a very rewarding driving experience. The engine is designed to deliver an optimal gasoline compression ratio. The high compression maximizes torque at low to mid-speeds while also improving fuel efficiency.

All-Wheel-Drive

The SKYACTIV-G engine performs even better due to its pairing with the i-ACTIV AWD®. This isn’t your standard all-wheel-drive drivetrain. I-ACTIV AWD utilizes autonomous technology that automatically distributes power between the wheels depending on a combination of your speed and road conditions. The result is incredibly smooth handling even when making tight turns or navigating less-than-ideal terrain. Drivers will notice how smooth the handling is during accelerating, braking, and cornering.

G-Vectoring Control Plus

The Mazda3 also utilizes the brand’s G-Vectoring Control Plus. This is an electric system that adjusts spark timing based on the vehicle speed and the turn of the steering wheel. This compresses the front wheels as the car propels forward, thereby improving the tires’ grip and stability.  This also creates a subtle change in engine torque. The driver won’t really pick up on the torque change but will notice smoother steering response and input.
