The new 2019 Mazda3 is an impressive model, with both 4-door sedan and 5-door hatchback options. With the reputation behind Mazda, you can’t go wrong whether it’s the Mazda3 sedan or hatchback. Here you will find a look into both of the cars to be able to make comparisons and decide which one is best for you.
Differences in the 2019 Mazda3 Sedan and Hatchback
There are a few stand-out features that differentiate the hatchback and sedan. With the 5-door hatchback, you are able to completely fold down the rear seats, which results in a very large amount of cargo space. The Mazda3 hatchback has almost 43 cubic feet of cargo space, which can easily come close to some smaller size SUVs. When you put the seats up, the cargo area becomes 17 cubic feet.
In the 4-door sedan, the trunk cargo area is 11.8 cubic feet. Styling wise, sedans tend to be more uniform, made up of a three-box design system. The hatchback has an end that is shorter and more distinct. If privacy is something that is important to you, it is important to note that while the hatchback has more cargo area, the windows make any stored items visible to others. The trunk of the sedan keeps your things hidden away.

Highlights of the 4-Door Sedan
There are many things to highlight about the stylish Mazda3 Sedan. You can select between the standard, select, preferred, or premium editions, all giving different style points that will be turning heads. The exterior holds a timeless style. It is easy to notice that engineers and designers took the Japanese “less is more” motto to heart with the construction. You will see light reflecting off of the paint and every turn.
The interior, on the other hand, is noted to be where “craftsmanship meets emotion.” Every finish and material used on the interior was meticulously chosen. They have also developed an interior that is able to block out some of that unwanted outside noise while keeping important noises from the road and your engine within reach. Performance wise, there is G-Vectoring control and you can opt for the i-Activ All Wheel Drive. These two things together help you predict and react to traction loss by noting braking patterns, wiper usage, and outside temperature.

Highlights of the 5-Door Hatchback
The Mazda3 hatchback is a workhorse, but you will also be met with an interior that you will find yourself wanting to spend more and more time in. The interior features are both engaging and warm, so you will feel comfortable on your drives no matter where you are headed. The comfort goes as far as specifically designed seats. The angle of the cushions and layout of the pedals are all placed to make you feel comfortable in the driver’s seat.
The technological advances in the engine have fuel efficiency at impressive levels, while the performance has not taken a hit. The suspension has been updated to handle the way the car and the driver are naturally moving, keeping all of your rides smoother than imaginable. You will also find a system of Bose speakers that have been designed to not only work with you, but with the design of your car. Sound will interact with the layout of your car to make the best possible sound for your drive. It also hosts the Mazda Connect Infotainment system. There is a multi-function Commander control that you will be able to navigate without losing focus of the most important thing – the road.
