The MAZDA3 Sedan is a model chosen by a wide range of age groups, from young to old. In April of this year, it received the "World Car Design of the Year" award at the 2020 World Car Awards, earning high praise globally.

With the addition of the 1.5-liter gasoline engine model to the sedan, customers can now choose from four engine types for both the sedan and fastback body styles: SKYACTIV-G 1.5 (1.5-liter gasoline), 2.0 (2.0-liter gasoline), SKYACTIV-D 1.8 (1.8-liter clean diesel turbo), and SKYACTIV-X (2.0-liter new-generation gasoline).
