Question:

2022 Mazda 3 Hatchback Answers include a 2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback with Rear Diffuser Would it be the same answer for a 2022 Mazda 3 Hatchback with a Rear Diffuser? Looks to me like the Diffuser on the 2022 has a different shape than on the 2019? Part is C98BR Couple of pictures included thanks

According to my research the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C98BR will fit your 2022 Mazda 3 with the rear diffuser, but you'll likely need to trim it up a little to keep the hitch from pushing up on that diffuser.

We haven't had any reports of someone installing this with the rear diffuser so I can't speak to how much you might need to be trimming, but from the pictures you sent in and what the manufacturer has the clearance is really tight.
