Is it time to give your Littleton, Parker, and Castle Rock, CO, travels an upgrade? Consider upgrading to a top-of-the-line sedan like the 2020 Hyundai Elantra or 2020 Mazda3. Both vehicles offer drivers thrilling performance, as well as comprehensive safety and comfort features. Although, you can only choose one as your new travel companion.
To help you decide, we at McDonald Hyundai have created this Hyundai Elantra vs. Mazda3 review. After reading, you’ll have a better idea as to which sedan is right for you. Ready to get started? Keep reading!
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.

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:
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.
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.
When it comes to upgrading your travels, choosing a premium sedan is a great choice. With their powerful performance capabilities, comprehensive safety features, and advanced climate control systems, both the 2020 Hyundai Elantra and Mazda3 are two top choices.
Although, after reading through our Hyundai Elantra vs. Mazda3 review, it’s clear the Elantra is the better choice for you.
