2019 Mazda3 AWD: Four-season friendliness
We test the all-wheel-drive Mazda3 on a snowy course near Lake Tahoe.
The Southern California native briefly lived in Sydney, and is proud to have developed a barely passable Aussie accent. He also serves on the board of directors of the Motor Press Guild. When not reviewing cars or nerding out on OEM premium audio, you can find manual-labor-averse Manuel doing his best to convince his closest friends to fix the very Porsche that delivered him home.
The 2019 Mazda3 is now available with all-wheel drive.
You can get AWD on both the Mazda3 sedan and hatchback.
All US-spec Mazda3 cars are powered by a 2.5-liter I4 engine with 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Adding AWD costs an extra $1,400.
The Mazda3's interior is nicely appointed, with fine leather on higher trim levels.
The Mazda3 is arguably the best-driving car in the compact car class.
The sedan and hatchback are both a bit cramped, especially for back-seat passengers.
2019 Mazda3 AWD pricing starts at $24,000 for the sedan and $25,000 for the hatchback.
The new Mazda3 should be hitting dealerships this spring.
