The 2021 Mazda3 Comes to Danbury with Some New Tricks Up Its Sleeve

There are not many vehicles left today that combine stunning styling with supreme comfort and exciting performance, but the 2021 Mazda3 promises to tackle all three head-on thanks to an all-new powertrain option that makes it more potent than any 3 in recent memory. Colonial Mazda is so excited about the 2021 Mazda3 that we just couldn't wait to tell you everything about it, even before you visit our dealership to take it for a test drive. But trust us, whether you're in Brewster, NY or just down the road in New Milford, you'll want to take the 2021 Mazda3 for a test drive sooner rather than later.

Interior Features

The 2021 Mazda 3 strives to blur the lines between economy and premium sedans, and it does so incredibly well with interior touches like ambient interior lighting and real wood grain inlays. Of course, these cosmetic touches are just that - but they still give off the impression of a much more high-end vehicle than you might initially expect.

Still, there are some practical premium features on the 2021 Mazda 3, and we expect that Ridgefield and Bethel drivers will truly fall in love with the power panoramic moonroof, especially considering the perfect temperatures and beautiful scenery we can enjoy in the spring and fall. When things get too cold in the winter, kick on the three-level seat heater to provide the exact amount of warmth you need to overcome the chilly temperatures, and when the heat of summer descends you've got three levels of seat ventilation to work with that will help directly cool you down.Dual-zone automatic climate control includes rear seat vents so all passengers can be comfortable when going for a drive, and the power-adjustable front seats come with two memory slots so you can easily swap drivers without either of you being uncomfortable.

Advanced Tech and Safety

With the 2021 Mazda3 you'll have no trouble staying connected thanks to integrated Apple CarPLay and Android Auto capability. Built-in navigation is available as well, and you're sure to love the proximity key that automatically unlocks the doors as you approach.

Once you're out on the road, forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking can help keep you safe, while features such as blind spot monitoring and automatic cruise control ensure you're staying out harm's way altogether.

Performance

Overall, the 2021 Mazda 3 will feel similar through the corners as the models that have come before it. A front-wheel drive setup with specially-tuned shocks will keep you pinned to the road when you pitch it into a bend, but bumps and ruts are deftly handled to keep your ride comfortable and smooth.

The real changes on the 2021 Mazda3 happened under the hood, where three engine options are now available to you. The starting point is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder power plant that develops 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque, but will be the most fuel-efficient of the bunch at 40 mpg highway and 35 mpg city.

The middle child is the 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine that gives you 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. Previously the base engine for the Mazda3, this engine balances fuel economy and power, ensuring it's one middle child that likely won't go ignored.

However, the introduction of the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine for the 2021 Mazda 3 does knock the shine off of the standard 2.5 apple just a bit. That's because the turbocharger takes output up to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, figures that are no joke in the compact sedan segment. And because that extra power comes from a turbo rather than increased displacement or cylinder count, you won't find yourself sacrificing much in the way of fuel economy to put this fire-breather in your driveway.
