Mazda 3 Carbon Edition: Every Feature You Get Standard (And Does It Have AWD?) – SlashGear

All Mazda3 hatchbacks get LED lights front and rear, rain-sensing wipers, folding power side mirrors, a rear roof spoiler, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and keyless entry. There’s also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on an 8.8-inch infotainment display, two USB inputs, HD radio, and a 7-inch gauge cluster display. The base 2.5 S trim has 16-inch alloy wheels; all other trims have 18-inch wheels.

The Carbon Edition falls in the middle of the Mazda3 trims, better-equipped than many, but lacking the full array of features that some more expensive versions of the hatchback deliver. You don’t get the Signature headlamps of pricier trims, but you do get contrasting black side mirrors rather than body-colored, plus a power sliding moonroof. Inside, there’s dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats, with 8-way power adjustment for the driver.

The audio gets an upgrade, with a 12-speaker Bose setup replacing the 8-speaker Mazda-branded system on lower trims. The steering wheel and gear selector are leather-wrapped, and the sports seats get red leather trim. However, features like SiriusXM, navigation, paddle shifters, a head-up display, and a heated steering wheel are reserved for Mazda’s more expensive trims.
