You already know you’re ready to get into the driver’s seat of a stylish, zippy, and affordable Mazda3. Now it’s time to decide between the 2020 Mazda3 hatchback or sedan. Let’s explore the fantastic features of both vehicles and discern which one will better suit your lifestyle.
Weekday Commuter or Weekend Adventurer?
Style will always be on your side no matter which model you choose as both the sedan and hatchback received the World Car Design of the Year Award in 2020. The question isn’t whether these vehicles are eye candy or not (they definitely are): it really comes down to how much space you need.
A Significant Difference in Cargo Space
The sedan is a real city slicker with complex and alluring lines and enough room to haul lighter loads with 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space. Great for commuting, running errands, and taking weekend trips, the sedan is a roomy, comfortable, and attractive ride.
The hatchback will be able to haul all of your weekend adventure gear comfortably with a whopping 20.1 cubic feet of cargo space. You may consider opting for the select package which comes with a Bose® 12-speaker premium audio system so you can rock out on your road trips. According to Kelley Blue Book, “The new Mazda3 remains among the best—if not the best—handling vehicle in its segment.” It’s going to be a fun drive!
Excellence Comes Standard in the 2020 Mazda3
Before we talk more about the differences, let’s take a look at the amazing features that come standard on all Mazda3 package types. At the heart of the matter is the responsive 186 horsepower SKYACTIV®-G engine. Response acceleration coupled with G-Vectoring Control Plus that smooths out the feeling around corners gives you a precise and controlled ride.
If you live in a place with 4 seasons, consider the 4 wheel drive option. Available i-ACTIVE 4WD responds to a possible loss of traction before it even happens. Enjoy your classy and sophisticated bubble which insulates you from distracting exterior noises to give you that quiet ride you’ve been longing for. The icing on the cake is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Award in 2020.
Decide Which Package Features Meet Your Needs
Hatchback
The Mazda3 hatchback starts at a very affordable $23,700 and includes Apple Carplay, Android Auto, and a dual zone automatic climate control system. Step up to the hatchback select package and you’ll be pumping up the jams with a Bose® 12-speaker premium audio system while keeping your tush warm on heated seats. The hatchback preferred package is dressed to impress with leather seats, an active driving display, adaptive front lighting, and a sliding glass power moonroof.
Sedan
With the Mazda3 sedan, you have 4 package options instead of 3. The standard package starts at a low $21,500 and comes with a large 8.8″ center display, 35 mpg highway, and safety features such as the lane departure warning system and driver attention alert. Bump up to the select package and you’re looking at 18″ alloy wheels, Android Auto and Apple Carplay, blindspot monitoring, and a rear cross-traffic alert feature.
The preferred package gets you an 8-way power driver’s seat, driver’s seat memory, heated front seats, and a Bose® 12-speaker audio sound system. Finally, we have the irresistibly good looking premium package which features leather seats, an active driving display, an adaptive front-lighting system, and a power sliding glass moonroof.
Whether you decide on the sedan or the hatchback, you can be sure you will enjoy an exhilarating ride with plenty of plush features to keep you comfy on long or short drives.
