The 2021 Mazda3 Wins Canadian Car of the Year title for second time in a row

The Mazda3 is once again the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s Car of the Year. The Mazda3 beat every other vehicle for AJAC’s prestigious title, winning it for the second year in a row and in the process becoming the only ever car to do so.

The Mazda3 also won the AJAC title in 2004 when it arrived on the market, and it won the title of Best in class seven times. No doubt about it, the Mazda3 is a car built for Canada and specifically for Quebec.

The Mazda3 received the most points of any vehicle in multiple categories including Quality, Driver Position & Ergonomics, Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH), Performance, Vehicle Dynamics, and Safety.

"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."

One of the few cars to offer all-wheel drive in its segment, the 2021 Mazda3 also offers three engines including a very powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 250 horsepower. The Mazda3 also shines with its exclusive technologies 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."
