The 2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback uses Mazda’s “Kodo” design language, which focuses on smooth lines, a bold front grille, and a feeling of motion. The hatchback body style gives the car a sporty and lively look, and the rear door makes it easy to get to the cargo area. Mazda’s Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture is one of the changes that make the 2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback stand out. This new design makes the car run better, handle better, and use less gas. It makes the chassis stronger and more rigid, which helps make the car easier to drive, more stable, and quieter on the road. The suspension system has also been improved to make the ride smoother and cosier.
Most of the time, the 2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback comes with a choice of engines. The base engine is usually a four-cylinder with 2.0 litres of capacity. Higher trims may have a more powerful four-cylinder with 2.5 litres of capacity. These engines are a good mix of power and fuel economy, with quick power output and good gas mileage. Most trims of the Mazda 3 Hatchback come with front-wheel drive, but some may offer an optional all-wheel drive system for better grip and handling.
The body of the 2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback is well-designed and made with the driver in mind. High-quality materials and finishes give it a high-end feel. The seats are nice and have good backs, and the whole car is set up to make driving easier. Most of the time, the infotainment system is managed by a central display and a rotary dial controller. This makes the system easy to use and understand. The 2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback has a number of modern safety features and driver-assistance technologies to keep you safe. Some of these features are adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot tracking, and automatic emergency braking.

Seat Precautions
WARNING:
Make sure the adjustable components of a seat are locked in place:
Adjustable seats and seatbacks that are not securely locked are dangerous. In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward and rocking the seatback.
Never allow children to adjust a seat:
Allowing children to adjust a seat is dangerous as it could result in serious injury if a child’s hands or feet become caught in the seat. Do not drive with the seatback unlocked: All of the seatbacks play an important role in your protection in a vehicle. Leaving the seatback unlocked is dangerous as it can allow passengers to be ejected or thrown around and baggage to strike occupants in a sudden stop or collision, resulting in severe injury. After adjusting the seatback at any time, even when there are no other passengers, rock the seatback to make sure it is locked in place.
Adjust a seat only when the vehicle is stopped:
If the seat is adjusted while the vehicle is being driven, the seating posture may become unstable and the seat could move unexpectedly resulting in injury.
Do not modify or replace the front seats:
Modifying or replacing the front seats such as replacing the upholstery or loosening any bolts is dangerous. The front seats contain airbag components essential to the supplemental restraint system. Such modifications could damage the supplemental restraint system and result in serious injury. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer if there is any need to remove or reinstall the front seats.
Do not drive with damaged front seats:
Driving with damaged front seats, such as seat cushions torn or damaged down to the urethane, is dangerous. A collision, even one not strong enough to inflate the airbags, could damage the front seats which contain essential airbag components. If there was a subsequent collision, an airbag may not deploy which could lead to injuries. Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect the front seats, front seat belt pre-tensioners, and airbags after a collision.
Do not drive with either front seat reclined:
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous because you do not get full protection from seat belts. During sudden braking or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt and suffer serious internal injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back:
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is dangerous because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture and the seat belt cannot function at its full capacity in a collision, which could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
Do not place objects under the seat:
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed securely, and result in an accident.
Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks:
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous. During sudden braking or a collision, objects can fly around and become projectiles that may hit and injure passengers.
Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury.
Never allow a passenger to sit or stand on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving:
Driving with a passenger on the folded seatback is dangerous. Allowing a child to sit up on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving is particularly dangerous. In a sudden stop or even a minor collision, a child not in a proper seat or child-restraint system and seat belt could be thrown forward, back or even out of the vehicle resulting in serious injuries or death. The child in the baggage area could be thrown into other occupants and cause serious injury.
Never give the car keys to children and do not allow them to play in the vehicle (4–Door):
Playing with the folding rear seats is dangerous. Once the seatbacks are back up, a child in the trunk would not be able to get out the way they had entered. If you have small children, keep the seatbacks locked.
Always leave your car locked and keep the car keys safely away from children (4–Door):
Leaving your car unlocked or the keys in reach of children is dangerous. Children who find their way into the trunk through an unlocked rear seatback or an open trunk can become accidentally locked in the trunk. This could result in death or brain damage from heat prostration, particularly in the summer. Always lock the doors and the trunk, and as an added measure, keep the rear seatbacks locked, whether you have children in your home or not.
