2024 MAZDA3 vs. Toyota Corolla

The 2024 Mazda3 is a small car ready to offer driving thrills and every feature you could need in a new hatchback or sedan. We might be slightly biased here at Paretti Mazda, but this model makes quite an impression, especially compared to worthwhile competitors like the 2024 Toyota Corolla. Let’s take a closer look at how these cars stack up.

Extra Legroom

Space is always at a premium in models like these, so we’re happy to report that the 2024 Mazda3 Hatchback has an edge here. It offers 35.1 inches of rear legroom compared to 29.9 inches in the Toyota Corolla Hatchback. If you plan to transport adults in the backseat of your hatchback, the Mazda model is the obvious choice.

Dynamic Performance

The 2024 Toyota Corolla has a 2.0-liter engine that produces just 169 horsepower. Compare that to the base engine in the Mazda3, a 2.5-liter unit that puts out 191 horsepower.

The difference gets even more stark if you opt for the Mazda model’s available turbo engine. This raises the output of the 2024 Mazda3 to 227 horsepower, widening the gap between it and the Toyota model even more.

Exclusive All-Wheel Drive

The 2024 Mazda3 and 2024 Toyota Corolla can boast long lists of features, but the Mazda vehicle has one particularly welcome feature that the Toyota vehicle does not. We’re talking about i-ACTIV® AWD. The Mazda3 handles confidently in all conditions, but the Toyota Corolla does not offer an all-wheel drive option unless you opt for a pricier hybrid variant.
