The Mazda3 2.5 S Hatchback Carbon Edition and Mazda3 2.5 Turbo Hatchback Premium Plus feature i-ACTIV All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) as standard.
 

i-ACTIV AWD® provides functionality beyond that of a typical 4WD or AWD system. Unlike basic AWD systems that react to a spinning wheel, i-ACTIV AWD is always engaged and proactively monitors vehicle dynamics data in real-time to watch for variations in wheel loads that a driver may not notice. The system then automatically controls the distribution of torque to provide predictable handling when driving on unpaved roads or in difficult conditions. 
 

All other Mazda3 2.5 S Hatchback models have Front Wheel Drive (FWD) drivetrains to provide predictable handling and good fuel economy in most normal driving conditions.
