2019 Mazda3 wins AJAC Best Small Car in Canada Award for 2020

The redesigned Mazda3 continued its tradition of excellence for the entire Mazda lineup by winning the Best Small Car in Canada Award in 2020.


The Mazda3 wins its segment for the 6th time and now qualifies for the Canadian Car of the Year Award that will be handed out in Toronto in mid-February.


"Mazda extends its winning record in the Canadian Car of the Year awards by claiming the trophy for Best Small Car in Canada for 2020," said Stephanie Wallcraft, President of AJAC. "AJAC members represent the largest collective of automotive journalist expertise in the country, and their rigorous testing takes place on the roads and weather conditions found from coast to coast. For the Mazda3 to emerge as a winner after our members' months of objective assessment is a true achievement."


The Mazda3 received a range of improvements last year, none more significant than the addition of i-ACTIV all-wheel drive.


"I'm very proud that the members of AJAC have recognized the significant efforts put in by our designers and engineers, who work tirelessly to ensure that all of our products, including the new Mazda3, are designed with a focus on human sensibilities, alluring design, and driving dynamics that Mazda is known for", said David Klan, President, Mazda Canada. "The addition of all-wheel drive to the Mazda3 shows that we are always listening to our consumers to make sure that we are offering them exactly what their unique Canadian environment requires."
