2026 Mazda 3 SP25.

The 2026 Mazda3 SP25 is a compact hatchback that places equal emphasis on engaging design, everyday usability and a considered cabin experience. Its 2.5-litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, giving this five-seat model a straightforward powertrain suited to regular urban and open-road driving. With just 20 km recorded, it is presented as a new vehicle and is identified as NZ New.

The SP25 specification adds a sportier character while retaining the practical strengths expected of a hatchback. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels and LED headlights contribute to its distinctive road presence, while G-Vectoring Control Plus is designed to support smooth, composed responses through changes in direction. The hatchback body provides a useful balance between compact exterior dimensions and the flexibility of a five-seat passenger compartment.

Inside, the focus is on a comfortable and connected driving environment. The premium cloth interior, leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and keyless entry with push-button start provide the features most relevant to daily use, whether the car is being used for commuting or longer trips. The 10.25-inch Mazda Connect display forms the centre of the infotainment system, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allowing compatible smartphones to be integrated without the need for a cable.

Driver information is presented through an Active Driving Display head-up display, helping keep key information within the driver’s natural field of view. A reverse camera and front and rear parking sensors support awareness when manoeuvring in tighter spaces, complementing the hatchback’s manageable footprint.

The vehicle also includes a broad suite of active safety and driver-assistance equipment. Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keep Assist, Radar Cruise Control and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are intended to assist with braking awareness, lane positioning, following distances and visibility around the vehicle. These systems do not replace driver attention, but they add useful support to the everyday driving experience.
