What’s New for the 2017 Mazda3?

The Mazda3 compact sedan is one of the more popular models offered by Mazda, so whenever the new model year rolls around, drivers no doubt want to know what’s changed. That’s why we’re here to share with you what’s new for the 2017 Mazda3, as there are quite a few things to get excited about.

But before we look at the upgrades for 2017, we’ll answer the question many probably have, which is when the model will be available. Although the new model has released in Japan (known there as the Axela), all we know about the 2017 Mazda3’s availability here in the US is that it will release within the year.

New G-Vectoring Control Technology on the 2017 Mazda3

One of the big changes to the model is the G-Vectoring Control system. We’ve previewed this system before and it’s now been confirmed that it will come in the 2017 model.

Put simply, the system is able to vary engine torque output based on your steering input, which will provide control over lateral and longitudinal acceleration. It also optimizes the load on the wheels. All together, this help provide a smooth drive and limit the need for continuous steering adjustments.
