Mazda 3 2019– car dimensions: 4660 mm long, 1795 mm wide and 1440 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,402 kg. Braked towing is 1,300 kg.
The cabin has a standard centre display of 8.8 or 10.25 inches supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, often wireless on higher grades. Dual-zone automatic climate control is fitted on mid and upper trims while base models use manual air conditioning. Cruise control is standard and frequently radar-based with stop-and-go. Parking sensors appear as standard front and rear in some markets or rear only on entry grades. Automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, lane-keep assist and a reversing camera are standard across the generation.
The sedan boot holds 450 litres with the rear seats in place and expands to 1138 litres when the 60/40 split seats are folded.
Braked towing capacity is 1300 kg and unbraked is 600 kg for the Skyactiv-G 2.0 in European specifications. Australian figures list 1200 kg braked. Payload sits near 520 kg based on gross versus kerb weight. No heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension is listed, so the car suits light trailer or occasional load work rather than continuous heavy duty.
The cabin uses soft-touch materials and premium finishes across grades. Seats support the spine's natural S-curve to cut fatigue on longer drives. Higher grades add dual-zone climate control, power driver's seats with lumbar and memory, heated fronts, leather or leatherette trim, and a sliding glass moonroof. Space feels snug in the rear but the overall quality stands out for daily use.

The Skyactiv-G 2.0 is a high-compression direct-injection petrol engine. Many markets pair it with a 24V M Hybrid system that recovers energy under braking and assists take-off. Official figures vary by market and transmission but show strong efficiency for a non-turbo four-cylinder.
Oil and filter changes form the core of regular servicing, set at 12 months or roughly 12,500-20,000 km. The engine uses a timing chain with no scheduled replacement. Brake fluid and cabin filter need attention every two years. air filter and spark plugs follow longer intervals. Stick to the schedule to avoid carbon build-up on short trips.
Crash protection earned a full five stars from Euro NCAP in 2019, scoring especially high for adult occupants. The same generation holds IIHS Top Safety Pick+ status. Standard equipment covers automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert and a full set of airbags.
The car is straightforward to keep. The mild-hybrid system needs no special attention beyond normal battery checks. Regular washing helps protect the body, and the torsion-beam rear suspension is simple to maintain. Overall running costs stay low when oil changes are not stretched.
