How does the Mazda 3 feel during overtaking?

The Mazda 3 should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2025 Liftback 2.0L High Plus SV: 213 N·m; 2025 Liftback 2.0L High Plus: 213 N·m; 2025 Sedan 2.0L High Plus: 213 N·m; 2025 Liftback 1.5L High Plus: 153 N·m; 2025 Sedan 1.5L High Plus: 153 N·m. That matters because overtaking is not just about peak power; a healthy torque output helps the car respond more naturally when you need a quick burst on highways or trunk roads.
