2014 Mazda3 US Pricing announced! Below is sedan pricing with the automatic, manual subtracts about $1000 on the i models. Hatch adds $500 to all but the i SV.

i SV (sedan only) - $17,995
i Sport - $19,495
i Touring - $20,595
i Grand Touring - $23,795
s Touring sedan - $24,595
s Grand Touring sedan - $25,995

Oh and the s Touring package that gives you adaptive cruise and i-ELOOP is another $1600. So a full up s GT hatch ($26,495) plus the tech package ends up being a $28,000 car. Wow. But I'd pay it...

Given that most people buy automatics, and the "s" models only come with an automatic for now, I use the automatic sedan pricing as a base. Subtract $1050 from $17,995 and you get $16,945. I did forget to include the destination charge, but I also tend to "forget" about it when i get to the dealer too.

I'm actually thinking the "i Grand Touring" would actually considered to be below the "s Touring" in the trim scheme. Not just because of pricing but because of the added features. The s Touring actually adds features onto the I Grand Touring.

The "s" models have the 2.5. It's only natural that Mazda would put even more options with the larger engine.

Aw, come on, don't people want a base model with the bigger engine? Like 2.5L, Bluetooth, and that's it?

 

[npaladin2000]

That would probably would be nice, maybe a racer special or something, ditching all the extra features would probably save 100-200 pounds. Then again, all the real racers are waiting for news on the next Mazdaspeed3.

I'm tempted, very tempted. I love my 09 Mazda 3iTouring, but this Mazda may make me spend my money D:

People who want the 2.5L and no toys can get the Mazda6 sport, $20,990.

S Touring trim is quite nice, although it's in the GTI price range.

 

[npaladin2000]

The one big problem I foresee with the S Touring is the "leatherette." Whatever that may be. There's no cloth option with the 2.5L at all.

I'm actually liking the almond-tone leather setup anyway. But a cloth option with the uplevel engine would be kind of nice.
