2026 MAZDA3 Hatchback Trim Level Comparison
The 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback lineup offers a range of comfort, technology, and performance features—but which trim best fits your needs? Compare every option, from the well-equipped 2.5 S trim to the powerful 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus trim, with help from The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston.
2.5 S
The 2.5 S trim uses a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. An 8.8-inch center display with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keeps your maps and music close. Behind the rear seats, the 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback gives you 20.1 cubic feet of cargo space for gym bags or a weekend suitcase.
2.5 S Select Sport
Stepping up to the 2.5 S Select Sport trim dresses the 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback in black leatherette and adds dual-zone automatic climate control, so you and your passenger can each choose a comfortable temperature. Rain-sensing wipers react to sudden downpours, and Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry unlocks the doors while the key stays in your pocket.
2.5 S Preferred
Midwest winters make the heated front seats in the Mazda3 Hatchback 2.5 S Preferred a welcome addition. An eight-way power driver’s seat with memory saves your position, and a power sliding-glass moonroof brings in fresh air on milder days.
2.5 S Carbon Edition
With the Mazda3 Hatchback 2.5 S Carbon Edition, you get standard i-Activ AWD® for extra grip on snowy side streets. Red leather seating and gloss-black exterior details further set this model apart visually. Functionality also takes a major step up with wireless Apple CarPlay®, wireless Android Auto™, and Qi® wireless phone charging.
2.5 S Premium
If you enjoy working a clutch, the Mazda3 Hatchback 2.5 S Premium pairs the 2.5-liter engine with a SKYACTIV®-MT six-speed manual. Bose® 12-speaker audio and leather seating upgrade every commute, and the Active Driving Display® projects your speed above the dashboard so your eyes stay on the road.
2.5 Turbo Premium Plus
The 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus puts out 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel alongside standard i-Activ AWD®. A 360-degree View Monitor and front and rear parking sensors make this new Mazda model easier to slip into tight city spaces.
