The 2022 Mazda3 is perfect for winter in Ontario
December 20 2021,
Winters in Ontario are some of the harshest around the world, so a vehicle that is capable and safe when the roads are covered in snow is crucial. The 2022 Mazda 3 is equipped with many features that make it a great winter car.
Available AWD
The 2022 Mazda 3 is available with the competent i-Activ all-wheel drive system that gives it impressive capabilities in the snow and an improved driving experience in all weather. The i-activ system uses sensors to detect any slippage of the front wheels under acceleration, up to 200 times a second. If the computer determines a wheel is turning too fast, the hydraulic coupling is instantly closed to power the rear axle, thus giving the car a reassuring stability on slippery road and the ability to drive with confidence on surfaces where a front-wheel drive car might get stuck. Since it functions in a part-time manner, this system minimises its impact on fuel economy by powering the four wheels only when necessary, which reduces mechanical friction.
Features to keep you comfortable.
The 2022 Mazda 3 comes standard with heated front seats and automatic wipers, which activate on their own to clear the windshield of snow and road salt while you concentrate on driving. Available features that are designed to keep you comfortable are plentiful, such as the heated steering wheel that keeps your hands warm even if you don’t like to wear gloves. The dual zone automatic climate control system that is standard starting on the GS model allows you and your passenger to select a different temperature to best suit everyone. The many standard i-Activsense active safety features keep you safe on slippery roads by warning you of dangers soon enough for you to be able to brake and steer to avoid a collision even if the surface is far from ideal.
