You cannot go wrong when choosing between the 2024 Mazda3 body styles — the hatchback and sedan — as both body styles offer stunning style, fun performance, and a long list of technology and safety features. At the end of the day, the decision will come down to your individual needs and preferences. Here at Fields Mazda of Asheville, our friendly Mazda dealers are happy to do a deep dive into the differences between the two body styles.
Design and Dimensions
When you look at the two body styles of the 2024 Mazda3 side by side, the most striking difference is the silhouette. The sedan boasts a classic three-box design with a traditional trunk, while the hatchback sports a modern two-box shape with a versatile liftgate. The two body styles share the same wheelbase, but the sedan is slightly longer and offers a bit more legroom. However, the shorter overhangs on the hatchback give it a sportier and more agile look.
Cargo Capacity
If cargo capacity is a primary concern, the hatchback is a winner. When you fold the rear seats up, it offers 20.1 cubic feet of space, compared to the sedan’s 13.2 cubic feet. The hatchback’s liftgate and wider opening also facilitate loading larger items. However, those preferring a traditional storage solution may prefer the enclosed trunk of the sedan.
Performance
Both body styles share the same two powertrain options. Whether you choose the base 2.0-liter engine or the more powerful 2.5-liter with available turbocharging, you can expect responsive handling, smooth acceleration, and a thrilling driving experience.
