As the most powerful trim in the current lineup, the new 2021 Mazda3 Sport 100th Anniversary Edition comes with a Skyactiv-G Dynamic Pressure engine that packs a serious punch.
This turbocharged 2.5-litre motor produces 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. Mated with i-Activ AWD and the Skyactiv-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission, it comes with a selection switch, manual shift mode, and steering wheel-mounted paddles for a more athletic feel. It can even go up to 209 km/h (130 mph), which is pretty fast for a hatchback.
As for fuel economy, you can expect to get around 10.2 L/100 km (23 mpg) in the city and 7.5 L/100 km (31 mpg) on the highway. Equipped with G-Vectoring Control Plus and a torsion beam rear suspension, the ride will be a smooth and pleasant one.
