Hyundai Elantra vs Mazda3

Powerful Performance Capabilities

Everyone likes to take a walk on the wild side every once in a while. With your Hyundai Elantra or Mazda3, this is possible because of the powerful engines found under the hood.

Your 2020 Mazda3 comes standard with the Skyactiv®-G 2.5L engine, capable of pumping out 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. While the standard 2.0L engine of the 2020 Elantra isn’t quite as powerful—producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque—you can upgrade your engine for extra power, something you can’t do with the Mazda3.

If you want power, the Hyundai Elantra has you covered.

Hyundai Elantra vs Mazda3: Safety Features

There’s nothing more important than having you and your passengers arrive safely at your destination. To help make this possible, both the Hyundai Elantra and Mazda3 come standard with several safety features.

Some of the features found on both models include:

• Driver Attention Warning
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Rearview camera

While these features are found on both sedans, only the Hyundai Elantra has the Blind Spot Collision Warning (BCW) with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW) as a standard system. Mazda3 drivers can only get this with an optional upgrade.

Climate-Controlled Interior

Being a premium sedan, you can expect plenty of interior features that will enhance your commute. Take the dual automatic temperature control system with the Hyundai Elantra, for example. This multi-zone temperature system makes it possible for you and your co-pilot to independently set and adjust your preferred settings.

That way, if you like it warmer while your passenger prefers it colder, you can set these temperatures and each travel comfortably.

The 2020 Mazda3 does offer this feature, but only as an optional upgrade. Without this upgrade, you and your passengers will have to settle on one temperature between the two of you.
