April 02 2021,

The Mazda3 has won Canada’s most prestigious automotive award, the 2021 Canadian Car of the Year award handed out by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. More impressive still, this is the second time that the Mazda3 has won the prestigious award.

"This is a historic win for Mazda and we are honoured to be the first to reach these milestones with AJAC," said David Klan, President & CEO, Mazda Canada. "The Mazda3 has always been a core model in our lineup that reflects our philosophy and brand strengths, and this award once again shows that our dedication to designing and crafting the very finest is paying dividends."

The 2021 Mazda3 impressed AJAC journalists with its design, performance, interior versatility, and features. The new Mazda3 is one of the few vehicles in its segment to offer all-wheel drive and also features a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 250 horsepower.

"AJAC members continue to view the fourth-generation Mazda3 as worthy of recognition by presenting it with our association's highest honour for a second year in a row," said AJAC President Stephanie Wallcraft. "It's fitting to see history being made with this record-breaking achievement in the Canadian Car of the Year awards as AJAC celebrates its milestone 40th anniversary in 2021."
