The 2021 Mazda3 and its i-ACTIV system are exclusive in this segment. It’s actually a unique system that sends engine power to the front wheels in a normal situation. The i-ACTIV system is however capable of reading and analyzing the driver's gestures, such as accelerations and the angle of the steering wheel. I-ACTIV can also not if the wheel loses their grip. If traction is compromised, i-ACTIV will transfer the power from the engine to the appropriate wheels to ensure optimal handling.
Mazda offers its i-ACTIV all-wheel drive system in the Mazda3 sedan and the Mazda3 Sport hatchback.
