Performance in the 2018 Mazda3 Hatchback is further aided by G-Vectoring Control, which comes standard for all of the trims. It’s an innovative technology that adjusts the engine torque to match the movement of the steering wheel, which makes it easier to maneuver through curves and around corners.
