Everyone knows and respects Kelley Blue Book. Well, maybe there is some weird anti-KBB movement somewhere. But for the most part, Kelley Blue Book is a well-respected organization that rates, values, and discusses automobiles. To be named anything positive by KBB is a big deal, especially when you're named the coolest new car. As a matter of fact, this is the fifth straight year that the Mazda3 has been recognized as the coolest new car by KBB. It's pretty impressive to maintain a high level of coolness for so long. Things that were once considered cool like CDs, iPods, and fanny packs aren't so cool anymore (though some would argue the latter). Check out what makes the Mazda3 (hatchback and sedan) so cool.

2018 Mazda3 performance specs
If you're of the belief that engine performance is the best measurable to determine coolness, you'll want to stick around. Given its size, the Mazda3 packs a punch and maintains extreme efficiency. SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY powers everything under the car's hood. The base model (Sport) comes with a 2.0-liter I4 engine powered by 155 horses. What's more is that it averages 37 highway MPG. The Grand Touring comes with a slightly larger 2.5-liter I4 with 184 horsepower and it is just as efficient as its smaller counterpart.
