If you prefer a bit more power in your daily driver, then you may want to explore the performance of the 2021 Mazda3 Sport GS. This second-level trim comes with a slightly larger engine and more “oomphâ€.
Rumbling under the hood is the Skyactiv-G 2.5 motor. Similar to the base powertrain, it is a DOHC 16-valve inline four-cylinder unit with a displacement of 2,488 cc and a compression ratio of 13.0:1. Although it might not seem like this would make a big difference in the output, it certainly does! This SUV pushes out 186 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque.
Also featuring direct injection technology, the manual transmission with FWD gets 9.5 L/100 km in the city and 7 L/100 km on the highway. If the vehicle comes with the automatic, those numbers change to 9.2 L/100 km and 6.9 L/100 k respectively.
