The new Mazda 3 represents a great mix of sharp styling, nimble performance, and cutting-edge technology, making it a top pick for drivers who appreciate both efficiency and driving pleasure.

Seat Covers

One of the simplest yet most impactful upgrades for your Mazda 3 is adding seat covers. They are excellent for protecting the original upholstery from daily wear and tear and for preventing those inevitable stains. Be it coffee spills, dirt from your clothes, or scuffs from loading items, seat covers can absorb this damage, keeping your original seats looking new.

Seat covers come in a variety of materials—neoprene, leatherette, and canvas being popular choices. Neoprene covers are durable and water-resistant, perfect for wet climates or outdoor enthusiasts. Leatherette offers a luxurious look and feel, giving your Mazda 3’s interior an elegant touch without the cost and upkeep of real leather. Canvas is tough and long-lasting, ideal for heavy use, especially if you frequently travel with kids or pets.


When selecting seat covers, choose ones that match the style and color scheme of your Mazda 3’s interior. It’s crucial to find covers that fit snugly and don’t shift as you drive, as loose covers can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. Look for options that are easy to install and remove for cleaning, ensuring they stay looking fresh and new, which keeps your Mazda 3’s interior appealing and comfortable, wherever your journey takes you.


Pet Travel Accessories

Traveling with pets in your Mazda 3 can be a joyful experience but also presents unique challenges, especially in keeping your car clean and your pets safe. That’s where pet travel accessories come in, ensuring that both your vehicle and your furry friends are well-protected on the road.

  • Protects your vehicle upholstery from spills, stains, scratches and other damage
  • Easy to remove and install
  • Made from 100% cotton

  • Strap on the back of the pet bed for the car seat belt to keep seat cover in place and minimalize movement

Pet seat covers are a fantastic investment for pet owners. They fit over your seats, shielding them from pet hair, claw scratches, and any messes your pet might make. These covers are typically easy to install and remove, making washing them a breeze. Besides seat covers, pet barriers are essential for drivers who want to keep their pets confined to the rear seats or cargo area, preventing distractions while driving and making the trip safer for both you and your pet. For smaller pets, carriers provide a secure space during the drive, ensuring they can’t roam around the car and cause potential distractions.


When choosing these accessories, consider the size and temperament of your pet. Make sure the materials are durable and comfortable for your pet, and check that the items can be securely attached to your Mazda 3 to prevent shifting during travel. Comfort for your pet and protection for your car’s interior should go hand in hand.


Floor Mats

Keeping your car clean can be a challenge, but floor mats play a crucial role, especially if you're regularly dealing with mud, snow, or spills. For Mazda 3 owners, the right floor mats can significantly ease the burden of maintaining a spotless interior.

Floor mats come in various forms, including rubber, carpet, and all-weather options. Rubber mats are ideal for wet conditions, offering waterproof protection and easy cleanup. Carpet mats, which offer a nicer aesthetic and a softer feel, are better suited for dry climates and require more frequent cleaning. All-weather mats combine the benefits of both, handling various elements from rain and snow to dirt and spills, making them ideal for fluctuating climates.


When selecting floor mats for your Mazda 3, opt for custom-fit mats. These are designed to fit the exact contours of your vehicle’s footwells, providing comprehensive protection against dirt and moisture. They prevent spills and debris from sneaking under the edges, something universal mats might not catch. Custom-fit mats not only offer superior protection but also maintain the aesthetic integrity of your vehicle’s interior, fitting seamlessly and looking as if they were always part of your Mazda 3.


Cargo Liners

Keeping the trunk of your Mazda 3 clean and damage-free is as important as maintaining the cabin’s interior, especially if you frequently haul groceries, sports equipment, or other cargo that could spill or leave marks. Cargo liners provide substantial protection against everyday wear and tear.

Cargo liners vary in material and construction. Custom-fit liners are designed to match the exact contours of your Mazda 3’s trunk, offering comprehensive coverage and protection against spills and dirt. These are perfect for those needing a precise fit that integrates with the car’s interior design. Flexible rubber mats are another option, providing versatility and easy cleanup; they can be quickly removed and hosed down, making them ideal for messy loads. For a touch of luxury, quilted liners enhance the trunk’s appearance with their upscale look.


When choosing a cargo liner, consider both functionality and aesthetics. A liner that fits well and complements the interior of your Mazda 3 will make your trunk look neat and purposeful. It’s important to find a balance between protective utility and maintaining the sleek, attractive design of your car’s interior.


Sun Shades and Snow Covers

The interior of your Mazda 3 can suffer from the long-term effects of exposure to extreme temperatures and UV rays, leading to faded upholstery and a cracked dashboard. Sun shades and snow covers can be invaluable accessories to combat these issues.

Sun shades come in various types, including foldable, retractable, and custom-fit options, each offering different levels of convenience and protection. Foldable shades are easy to store and great for occasional use, while retractable shades offer a more permanent solution that can be easily adjusted as needed. Custom-fit shades provide the best coverage, as they are made specifically for the windshield of the Mazda 3, ensuring every corner is shielded from the sun.


Snow covers protect your windshield from snow and ice in winter and help keep your car interior cool in the summer sun. They cover the entire windshield, reducing the need for scraping during frosty mornings and shielding your dashboard from icy temperatures and UV exposure.


When selecting sun shades or snow covers, consider your local climate and how often you’ll use them. Look for durable materials that can withstand the elements and provide reliable protection year-round. Proper use of these accessories will not only keep your Mazda 3 comfortable regardless of the weather but also help preserve the integrity and appearance of your car’s interior over time.


Interior Organizers

For Mazda 3 owners, keeping the interior organized and functional is as important as maintaining its appearance. Interior organizers help achieve a clutter-free environment, making every drive more enjoyable and less stressful.

Several types of organizers are suitable for your Mazda 3. Under-seat bins are perfect for storing essentials out of sight, helping keep the cabin tidy while maximizing unused space. Backseat organizers are great for families or frequent passengers, offering convenient storage for entertainment devices, books, snacks, and more. Console dividers help sort out smaller items that tend to get jumbled in the center console, such as phones, keys, and wallets, making them easy to reach when needed.


When selecting these organizers, choose options that complement the interior of your Mazda 3 without sacrificing space or style. Look for designs that integrate well with your car’s aesthetic and enhance its overall functionality. An organized car is not only more pleasant to be in but also helps keep your focus on the road, enhancing safety.
