Why It Won

Approximately 160 vehicles were considered, but the pack was narrowed to 41 models based on the Eco, Crossover, Sedan, and Compact categories. Engineers drove the models on normal roads to mimic conditions that drivers face everyday. This process simulated the process of drivers getting to work, visiting friends and family, and more. Engineers drove an estimated 2,000 miles to inspect the performance, safety, and family friendly capabilities of each contender. After thorough testing and research, the Mazda3 stood out to experts the most for its technology and design.
