Summary

The base configuration for the 2021 Mazda3 Sport, which seats five people, is front-wheel drive. However, Mazda also offers the Sport with its i-Activ all-wheel drive technology.

The Mazda3 Sport GT includes a 10-way power seat adjustment for the driver, with a 4-way manual adjustment for the passenger. Both the front seats and the leather-wrapped steering wheel may be heated, with the latter feature being automatically activated via the climate settings.
