2023 Mazda 3 Release Date: Who’s Going To Complain About A Few Extra Horsepower? – On Tuesday, Mazda presented updates to the 2023 Mazda 3, which were introduced. The hatchback and coupe body styles of Mazda’s tiny automobile will continue to be offered to customers. The naturally aspirated 2L I4 engine that was previously offered has been discontinued and replaced by the 2.5-L I4 motor as the only available choice.
The power has increased by 5 horsepower, bringing the total to 192 hp, and the torque has increased to 186 pound-feet. New cylinder-deactivation technology contributes to a little improvement in fuel economy, allowing some trim levels to achieve EPA-estimated figures of up to 28 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. The Premium trim comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission, although the option to upgrade to a 6 manual is available.
Those individuals who are looking for a little bit more power will be relieved to learn that 2.5-L turbocharged I4 engine is still an option. With this engine, the output is the same as it was before; utilizing 87-octane gasoline will provide 228 horsepower with 311 pound-feet, while increasing the octane level to premium will raise the output to 251 horsepower and 321 pound-feet. Both a 6 automatic gearbox as well as all-wheel drive are provided as standard equipment on this vehicle.
2023 Mazda 3 Release Date and Price
Although if you don’t take into account the discontinuation of the 2.L type, the Mazda 3 will be somewhat more expensive in 2023. This is also true of the obligatory destination charge, which will increase by $51, going from $1,016 to $1,067. The price of a Mazda 3 2.5 S sedan starts at $23,616, including destination; this represents an increase of $851 over the price of the same model from the previous year.
Expect to pay an additional one thousand dollars if you want a vehicle with a hatchback. The sedan version of the 2.5 Turbo Premium may set you back $35,067 while the hatchback version will cost you $36,366. The hatchback version of the Mazda 3 will first become available at dealerships in the fall, followed by the sedan version in the winter.
