2026 Mazda 3 G25 Astina Hatch review

- Higher cost of ownership than some rivals
- Range-wide price rises
2 Months Ago
2026 was a small-car alternative for buyers who still wanted hatch or sedan practicality without moving into an SUV for the Mazda 3. Its appeal came from the mix of price, packaging, equipment and ownership confidence. With the calendar year still underway, this description avoids quoting a partial-year sales total. The Mazda 3 is a small car with a more premium feel than many mainstream hatch and sedan rivals.
