Mazda3 Sedan Lease Offers at Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers

The 2026 Mazda3 Sedan is widely considered the most refined, best-driving compact sedan available in its price range — a car that J.D. Power describes as one of the best small cars money can buy, with an interior that rivals vehicles costing significantly more and handling dynamics that stand apart from anything else in the segment. It earned the 2020 World Car Design of the Year award, and that design has aged remarkably well through the 2026 model year. Available in five trim levels from $24,550, with available AWD, a 250 hp turbocharged option, and IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ recognition, the Mazda3 Sedan delivers more per dollar than any other compact sedan at its price point. For Colorado Springs drivers looking for Mazda3 Sedan lease offers in Colorado Springs, CO, the full suite of Mazda Financial Services lease programs is available at Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers, located at 7455 Test Drive in Colorado Springs, CO. Whether you are coming from Fountain, Falcon, Pueblo, or anywhere across the Colorado Springs metro area, our team is here to help you find the right Mazda3 lease.

Why the Mazda3 Stands Apart in the Compact Sedan Segment

In a segment defined by practical, sensible choices, the 2026 Mazda3 Sedan takes a fundamentally different approach. Where competitors like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla optimize for maximum interior volume and technology features, Mazda prioritizes driving quality, interior craftsmanship, and design elegance. The result is a compact sedan that feels closer to a near-luxury vehicle than a practical economy car — with soft-touch dash materials, available white or red leather-trimmed seats, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen on upper trims, and handling precision that Cars.com describes as more nimble than most competitors. For Colorado Springs drivers who spend significant time commuting on I-25, navigating Academy Boulevard, or taking weekend drives into the mountains, the Mazda3 Sedan's driving character makes every mile more rewarding than the typical compact car experience.

The 2026 Mazda3 Sedan Trim Lineup

The Mazda3 Sedan lineup spans five configurations. The base 2.5 S at $24,550 arrives with the 2.5-liter 186 horsepower engine, a 6-speed automatic, an 8.8-inch infotainment display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, blind spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, Smart Brake Support, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking — a fully equipped safety suite standard on the most affordable trim. The 2.5 S Select Sport at $25,440 adds 18-inch black alloy wheels, black heated side mirrors, and synthetic leather sport seats — the most popular hatchback configuration. The 2.5 S Preferred at $27,090 is the most popular sedan trim per Edmunds, adding a power moonroof, heated front seats, and an eight-way power driver's seat. The 2.5 S Carbon Edition at $30,210 is the only trim to combine AWD with the naturally aspirated engine — adding Polymetal Gray Metallic exclusive paint, a red leather interior, a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system, and gloss black exterior trim, making it the right choice for Colorado Springs drivers who want i-Activ AWD traction on Front Range winter roads without the full turbocharged premium. The 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus at $36,740 tops the lineup with AWD, 250 horsepower on premium fuel, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, signature LED headlights, paddle shifters, perforated leather sport seats, a head-up display, windshield wiper de-icer, and a heated steering wheel.

The Carbon Edition: AWD Without the Turbo Premium

For Colorado Springs drivers who want Mazda3 AWD capability for Front Range winters without paying for the turbocharged engine, the 2.5 S Carbon Edition at $30,210 is the most compelling trim in the sedan lineup. It is the only Mazda3 Sedan trim that pairs AWD with the naturally aspirated engine, and it comes with a distinctive Polymetal Gray Metallic exterior, red leather interior, gloss black front grille, and Bose premium audio — a genuinely unique visual and tactile package at a price point that competes directly with mid-range trims of the Civic and Corolla. Cars.com notes that AWD is a rare feature among mainstream compact cars, and the Carbon Edition hits a sweet spot in the segment that few competitors can match at its price.

Safety: IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ at Every Trim Level

The 2026 Mazda3 Sedan has earned IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ recognition — the highest available safety designation — alongside a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA. Every trim level includes blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, Smart Brake Support, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with stop-and-go, and automatic emergency braking as standard. For Colorado Springs families where the Mazda3 Sedan will serve as a daily commuter or a vehicle for newer drivers, the full safety suite available at every price point is a meaningful advantage over competitors that reserve active safety features for higher trim levels.
