Which Mazda MAZDA3 trim should I buy?

The 2026 Mazda MAZDA3 offers these trims:

• GX: The entry trim uses the 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and gives you the Mazda3’s core style, refinement, and standard safety equipment at the lowest price point.

• GT: The GT brings the most upscale equipment in the lineup, including adaptive headlights, a head-up display, lane centring, a surround-view camera system, and reverse automatic braking; it is the best-value pick if you want the richest feature set without stepping into the Turbo model.
