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.


"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."


Redesigned in 2019, the Mazda3 stands out with an impressive lineup of engines, available all-wheel drive, two body styles, and unique features such as G-Vectoring control.


"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."
