Pre-owned Mazda3 quick overview

The Mazda3 is a compact sedan that was offered in multiple models over the years, all offering a wide range of features buyers want. Affordable when new, the Mazda3 also packs plenty of value on the pre-owned market with its best-in-class mechanical and safety features. The i-ACTIVSENSE package included in many used Mazda3 models also offer several all-new safety installations for a more confident drive on the highway or in the city.

The pre-owned Mazda3 Offers Class-Leading Handling

The pre-owned Mazda3 has a standard SKYACTIV-G 2.0 four cylinder engine that delivers up to 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque in the GX and GS trims. Optional in the GS trim, the SKYACTIV-G 2.5 engine produces 186 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. The fuel economy in pre-owned Mazda3 models will average around 9.2 L/100 km in the city and 7.0 l/100 km on the highway.

The standard gearbox is a 6-Speed SKYACTIV-MT transmission and is designed for those who enjoy a sporty drive. The 6-Speed SKYACTIV-DRIVE automatic transmission is also available. The optional i-ACTIV All-Wheel Drive system is available this year, and paired with the standard G-Vectoring Torque Control system, it will work wonders on your daily commute as well as on spirited drives on the weekend. Hill Launch Assist and Dynamic Stability Control are standard of course, in the event that you put yourself in a challenging position or in rough weather.

Advanced safety packages in the pre-owned Mazda3

Pre-owned Mazda3 were offered with class-leading safety technology. Using high-resolution cameras to scan the road, the Traffic Sign Recognition System increases your awareness of rules on the road. The Smart Brake Support Rear activates the brakes when you back up into the path of another vehicle or person. Not part of the Premium Package, the Driver Attention Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are some other amenities that make you more aware of dangerous situations. If you can find a used Mazda3 with this advanced safety package, you will have one of the safest cars in its segment!

Other pre-owned Mazda3 models will feature accident-avoidance features that collectively make up the i-ACTIVSENSE suite. The Smart Brake Support reacts to the threat of an accident in heavy traffic flow, especially in the city. Forward-facing sensors also determine the risk level of an accident involving pedestrians. Part of the Convenience Package, the Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring System supplements the Lane Departure Warning. Additionally, you'll get reliable steering help from the Lane-Keeping Assist that prevents side collisions.
