2023 MAZDA3 Sedan shown with available features.
At World Car Mazda New Braunfels, you can find a diverse selection of models to choose from. If efficiency and accommodation are your main priorities, the 2023 Mazda3 Sedan will be the ride for you! This compact car can be found at our location, so let us tell you more about it.
Interior
These days, our vehicles tend to be a home away from home, which is why we can't get enough of the Mazda3 Sedan's interior features. A dual-zone automatic climate control system is available on certain trim levels, allowing you and your copilot to adjust your designated areas to your preferred temperature. Driving home at night doesn't have to be a hassle, thanks to the available auto-dimming rearview mirror. This upgrade comes with a HomeLink®1 universal transceiver, so opening up your garage door or security gate can be done all from the driver's seat. To enjoy your drives to Purgatory Creek Natural Area for a day out in the sun, be sure to set the mood with the help of standard Pandora® internet radio integration!
Safety
Wherever your wanderlust leads you, it's pertinent that you remain safe at all times. Thankfully, the 2023 Mazda3 Sedan is prepared to assist with features like the Lane Departure Warning System2. In the event you start veering out of your intended path while out on streets like Airport Highway, this technology will make you aware of the situation. Taking it a step further is Lane-keep Assist3, which can nudge you back to the center. These innovations are both standard, as is Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go4. With it, you'll be able to maintain a preset distance from the motorist ahead of you in order to prevent fender benders. Let us not forget the multitude of airbags5 that have been strategically placed throughout the cabin, which will be ready to deploy if you're involved in a collision.
Performance
The Mazda3 Sedan also goes above and beyond in the way of performance, so don't hesitate to put it to the test during your drives around San Marcos. Kicking this off on a high note is a standard SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, which cranks out 191 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque. For unbridled force, you can upgrade to the optional SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L Dynamic Pressure Turbo system to gain access to 250 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque. This car is also equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, so accelerating will be a breeze. The base powertrain flaunts an estimated 28/37/31 MPG city/hwy/combined6 fuel economy rating, so you can skip stops at the pump a few more times before having to refill the tank. Be sure to also take a look at our current incentives.

Testimonials
“ Excellent experience at World Car Mazda San Antonio. Mr. Hall and team provided my family and I fantastic customer service. They really paid attention to what I was looking for and did not pressure me to purchase anything. In the end we did purchase a vehicle and wanted to share our experience. ”
“ The first contact I had at World Car Mazda was a kind and helpful receptionist who gave me directions to the service center. I mentioned that I was coming from Boerne, and she ended the conversation with "have a safe drive". That kind of customer support meant a lot to me. I walked into the service area and met Zena, she helped me understand the timetable for repairs and maintenance. Throughout our initial conversation she was checking to see if I understood and was very thorough. She provided her phone number should I have questions and/or need anything. While my car was being serviced I decided to walk to North Cross Mall. Zena asked a gentleman to give me a ride to the Mall. He stopped at that point, in the middle of his lunch, and drove me there. Everyone was genuinely interested in doing thorough job and providing kind services and attention. I highly recommend this service center for vehicle maintenance and driving safety. ”
“ Great customer service. ”
“ Great service! My battery died, and my car was still under warranty. They replaced my battery no issue. Same day appointments were available. Definitely will return here for future repairs. ”
“ I had an excellent experience working with Aaron Benavidez. From start to finish, he was professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to what I actually wanted and never made me feel pressured. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. If you’re looking for someone honest who truly cares about their customers, I highly recommend asking for him. I would absolutely work with him again. ”

“ Didn't know buying a car could be so easy! Luis Valdez was my salesman and he made the process swift and easy and got me into a new car the same day. They even worked with my pre-approval, no hassle. These other dealerships make buying a car so unnecessarily hard but this was just easy! ”
“ The service at World Car Mazda was excellent ”
“ My car's heater stopped working, so I took it in. My service contact was Raul, who was wonderful. Through no fault of World Car, the needed part that came was the wrong one, so it took an extra day. He kept me up to date and never got annoyed when I called. ”
“ These are Great Staff Members working at World Car Mazda San Antonio ! ! My list of really excellent staff are: Ian; Chris; Ron; Rick; Robert; Promise. Great people ! You have great staff, and I hear that you will be renovating the current location and that’s great news ! Ian went beyond imagination when he took my DD214 and it was in eight pieces and he ran a copy of it and gave me credit for $500 because I was a good military guy, and he gave me $500 off of the Mazda 3 that I purchased. Thanks especially to Ian ! Bruce Mabrito Simply an 83-year old Gringo-Dude in South Texas ”

“ Came in and looked and left with a brand new 2025 Mazda 3. Salesman Ariel made the transition easy and he was a funny guy. Love the car just disappointed with the Mazda corporation in building a Mazda 3 vehicle without speakers in the rear doors. I know that Mazda wants to be considered a premier vehicle and they doing A good job at improving, their vehicles. if you bought a BMW, a Lexus with the rear door speakers be missing? ”
“ Mr. Ian was fantastic and extremely thorough when showing me my new (to me) 2023 Mazda3 2.5 TPP Hatchback! I couldn't have asked for a better car buying experience. 10/10 would buy from him again. ”
“ It was a genuine pleasure working with Johnny and Ian at World Car. They made the buying experience for my new 2025 MX-5 very pleasurable through every step of the process. I highly recommend them! ”
“ Great follow up and good experience at the point of contact on the sales lot. Several people involved and all good folks. ”
“ Very poor customer service at this location. I recommend the new Braunfels location. It doesn’t matter who you call or who you deal with here they do not return calls. They sold us a brand new car that had damage on it and was in for repairs for over 2 weeks. We totally regret on so many levels coming to this location for our new car purchase. The are a very poor representation of Mazda USA. ”
“ Do not purchase any add-ons for your car. If you are looking to get service for your car at this dealership, after purchasing your car from a different dealership, they will not honor anything. The service here has been horrible. Based on one of their representatives, in order for this dealership to honor your add-on from a different dealership, they would need to review the contract you signed with the previous dealership. However, even when you show them the contract, they still do not honor it. You need to go through great links just to get good customer service. Unfortunately, if if you already purchased add-ons for your Mazda from a previous dealership, I would recommend trying a different Mazda dealership, even if you need to go all the way to Austin. ”
