During its last refresh, hatchback and sedan versions of the 3 saw only mild exterior styling tweaks. Mazda says this time around to expect both body styles to wear a more mature and athletic look.
Other than that nugget, details on the new models — which we expect to wear the 2019 model year — are slim. Based on the teaser info, however, it also sounds like the 3 is getting a powertrain update. Mazda says the car’s “fundamental performance attributes have been raised to a new level” and promises the “latest SkyActiv engines.”

The current generation offers a choice of four-cylinder engines: a 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a 184-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder. Both engines are available with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
