2022 Mazda Mazda3 Sedan Preferred – Sophisticated Design Meets Daily Versatility

Imagine starting your morning with a quiet drive through the tree-lined streets of Orange Park, the sun just beginning to peek over the horizon as you head toward your office. In the 2022 Mazda Mazda3 Sedan Preferred, that daily commute transforms from a routine task into a moment of genuine composure and refinement. Whether you are navigating the professional corridors of downtown Jacksonville or heading out for a well-deserved weekend brunch near Jacksonville Beach, this sedan offers a level of aesthetic grace and tactile quality that punches far above its weight class. It is a vehicle designed for those who appreciate the finer details, from the way the light dances off the Jet Black Mica paint to the intuitive layout of the driver-centric cockpit.

For the established professional or the growing family in the Jacksonville metro area, the Mazda3 Sedan Preferred represents a thoughtful choice that balances pragmatic needs with a desire for a premium experience. It fits perfectly into the driveway of a coastal home in Neptune Beach or a suburban residence in Yulee, offering a sophisticated silhouette that looks just as appropriate at a high-end resort as it does in a school pickup line. This is not just a means of transportation; it is a carefully crafted environment that supports your active lifestyle, providing a sanctuary of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of Floridas First Coast.

Performance and Efficient Capability

Under the hood of this refined sedan lies the heart of Mazdas engineering philosophy: the SKYACTIV-G 2.5L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This powerplant is designed to deliver a smooth, linear power band that makes merging onto the interstate or navigating busy suburban thoroughfares feel effortless. With 186HP at your disposal, the Mazda3 provides a responsive and engaging driving character that is often missing in the compact sedan segment. The engine features a DOHC configuration and variable valve control, ensuring that performance is optimized whether you are cruising at highway speeds or idling in traffic.

The power is managed by a sophisticated 6-Speed Automatic transmission, specifically the Transmission SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic. Unlike the rubbery feel of some competitors, this traditional automatic features a Lock-up transmission and Overdrive transmission for a direct, connected feel between the pedal and the pavement. For those days when you want a bit more engagement on the winding backroads near Yulee, the Selectable mode transmission and Drivetrain selectable Driver selectable drivetrain mode allow you to tailor the vehicles responses to your preference.

The Front Wheel Drive system is paired with a precision-tuned suspension setup, featuring an Independent front suspension with Strut front suspension and a Semi-independent rear suspension utilizing a Torsion beam rear suspension. This combination, along with Gas-pressurized shock absorbers and Front anti-roll bar, provides a balanced ride that absorbs the imperfections of local roads while maintaining a composed stance through corners. With an impressive fuel economy rating of 26 city and 35 highway MPG, you can spend more time enjoying the drive to Ponte Vedra Beach and less time looking for a fueling station.

Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity

In todays fast-paced world, staying connected is a necessity, not a luxury. The 2022 Mazda Mazda3 Sedan Preferred is equipped with a suite of technology designed to integrate seamlessly with your digital life. The centerpiece of the cabin is the 8.8 inch primary display, which provides a clear and vibrant interface for all your media needs. This is complemented by a 7.00 inch gauge cluster display size, offering Digital/analog instrumentation display that keeps vital information right in your line of sight.

Whether you are using the GPS NAVIGATION to find a new restaurant in Jacksonville Beach or relying on the Bluetooth® handsfree wireless device connectivity for a professional conference call, the system is designed to be intuitive and non-distracting.

The audio experience is further enhanced by Wireless streaming Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming and a Window grid audio antenna for consistent reception. With 2 USB ports and Steering wheel mounted audio controls, everyone in the vehicle can stay charged and the driver can maintain total control over the environment.

Above you, the POWER MOONROOF with First-row sliding and tilting glass allows you to bring a bit of the coastal breeze from Neptune Beach into the cabin at the touch of a button.

Practicality is not sacrificed for style. The 60-40 folding rear seats and Rear bench seat allow for flexible cargo solutions, whether you are hauling golf clubs for a round in Ponte Vedra Beach or picking up groceries for the week. The Advanced Keyless Entry with hands-free access and push button start means you never have to fumble for your keys with your hands full. Every detail, from the Metal-look interior accents to the Fade interior courtesy lights, has been considered to create an environment that feels special every time you climb inside.

Safety and Comprehensive Driver Assistance

Safety is a core value for the modern driver, and the Mazda3 Sedan Preferred is engineered to provide peace of mind on every journey. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) is an Adaptive cruise control system that maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead, making long drives on the highway much less taxing. When navigating the busy lanes of Jacksonville, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) act as an extra set of eyes, alerting you to vehicles you might otherwise miss.

The vehicle is also equipped with Smart Brake Support (SBS) forward collision mitigation and Smart Brake Support (SBS) pedestrian impact prevention, which can help mitigate or even avoid accidents by applying the brakes if a collision is detected. The Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS) provides gentle steering corrections to help keep you centered in your lane, while the Driver attention alert monitors for signs of fatigue, suggesting a break when necessary.

In the event of an unavoidable situation, the Mazda3 protects its occupants with a total of 8 airbags, including Driver and passenger side knee airbags and Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. The 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes with Brake assist system and Electronic parking brake with Automatic brake hold ensure you have maximum stopping power and control in all conditions. Whether you are backing out of a tight spot with the REAR VIEW BACK-UP CAMERA or driving through a summer downpour, this sedan is designed to keep you and your loved ones secure.

Exterior Styling and Elegant Design

The exterior of the 2022 Mazda3 Sedan is a masterclass in the Kodo design language, which seeks to capture the soul of motion. Finished in Jet Black Mica, the metallic paint has a deep, lustrous quality that highlights the sedans flowing lines and muscular proportions. The Black grille with chrome accents provides a bold face, while the LED low and high beam headlights with Auto on/off headlight control ensure exceptional visibility and a modern signature look.

Riding on 18 x 7-inch silver aluminum wheels, the Mazda3 has a planted, athletic stance. The Body-colored front and rear bumpers, along with Body-colored door mirrors with integrated Turn signal indicator mirrors, create a cohesive and premium appearance. The Light tinted windows provide a touch of privacy and help keep the interior cool under the Florida sun, while the Rain sensing wipers automatically adjust to the intensity of the rainfall, a feature you will certainly appreciate during a sudden afternoon shower in Orange Park.

Every element of the exterior design serves a purpose, from the High mounted center stop light to the Stainless steel quasi-dual exhaust with chrome tailpipe finisher that hints at the vehicles performance capabilities.
