Mazda Mazda3 BP

2019–2026 · BP · hatchback

Fourth-generation Mazda3, debuted November 2018 at LA Auto Show. Sedan and hatchback. Engines: 2.0L Skyactiv-G (155hp), 2.5L Skyactiv-G (186hp), 2.5L Skyactiv-G Turbo (227-250hp depending on octane), and overseas a 2.0L Skyactiv-X spark-controlled compression-ignition engine (not sold in US in volume). 6-speed manual (early; later dropped from US lineup) or 6-speed Skyactiv automatic. FWD or i-Activ AWD (first Mazda3 with AWD). Dramatically more premium interior than the BM, with materials and design that punch above the segment.

Watch out: Skyactiv-G fuel-in-oil dilution remains a watch-item, though less severe than on the BM. The turbo 2.5T is the same family that's powered the CX-5/CX-9, no major scandals but the cooling-system condition matters more than on the naturally-aspirated variants. Otherwise no chronic mechanical issues as of 2026.
