The Mazda3 was released with three versions in the Philippines, the top-of-the-line Mazda3 Speed, which features a red leather interior and Brilliant Black body kits, among other new features. Next is the Mazda3 Premium that boasts a 12-speaker Bose sound system. The lowest trim level of the Mazda3 is the Elite. It still retains the infotainment of the other variants but loses out on other features.

The Mazda3 Speed variant and the Premium both receive Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Cruise and Traffic Support. The Elite version, on the other hand, gets standard cruise control.

The Mazda3 twins, Sedan and Sportback, both have the same length and width. Despite the difference in design. Both can be had with either a 1.5 liter or a 2.0-liter engine. Both also have G-Vectoring Control Plus across all trim levels and variants. The engine choices are the familiar 1.5 produces 109 hp and 146 Nm of torque and the 2.0, on the other hand, produces 152 hp and 200 nm of torque. These familiar engines have minor tweaks though. Its a minor loss in power but what it loses in hp it gains back in torque.

The wheel colors for the Speed and Premium come in gunmetal while the Elite variant comes in gray metallic – a minor difference as the wheel designs are roughly the same.
