Mazda hatchback vs sedan model comparison
Should you get a Mazda hatchback or sedan model? It can be a difficult choice between these two car segments, which share a lot in common other than their style and rear cargo space. Below, we’ll talk about these differences in more detail to help you decide between them with our Mazda hatchback vs sedan model comparison.
Sedans are traditionally the least expensive type of vehicle because they are small and use fewer materials. This is also reflected in the pricing of the Mazda3 Sedan and the Mazda3 Hatchback, which are the same model except for body style. The 2021 Mazda3 Sedan starts at $20,500, while the 2021 Mazda3 Hatchback starts at $22,500. You can also go for something more high-end with the 2021 Mazda6, a sedan starting at $24,325.Â
The main benefit of choosing a Mazda hatchback over a Mazda sedan is that you will have more rear cargo space. The passenger space will stay about the same. If you want more room to stretch your legs, then we suggest considering a Mazda SUV or crossover. Â
The 2021 Mazda3 Sedan has 92.8 cubic feet of passenger space and 13.2 cubic feet of cargo volume according to the EPA. The 2021 Mazda3 Hatchback has basically the same passenger space at 92.7 cubic feet, but much more cargo volume at 20.1 cubic feet. The 2021 Mazda6 offers a spacious cabin with 99.8 cubic feet of passenger space and a commendable rear cargo space with 14.7 cubic feet of space.Â
We can’t make the choice for you, but the size and price of these vehicles should help narrow down your search. The Mazda3 Sedan, Mazda3 Hatchback, and Mazda6 are the only current Mazda hatchback and sedan models to choose from. Your main decision is whether you think a little extra space is worth a little extra cost.Â
