2024 MAZDA3 Body Styles: Hatchback vs Sedan

2024 Mazda3 Sedan

If you’re looking at a Mazda 3 for your next vehicle, you probably have questions about 2024 Mazda3 body styles. With both a hatchback and sedan model available, the Mazda3 offers two versatile body styles in a well-appointed vehicle, but which you choose is ultimately up to your needs. To see which body style is best for you, join the team at Freysinger Mazda for a test drive.

Engine Options

Two engines are available for this new Mazda vehicle, with both being offered on either body style: the baseline 2.5-liter four-cylinder powerplant and an available turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The base engine produces 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque while the optional powerplant generates up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque.

Front-wheel drive is standard in vehicles that have the base engine with all-wheel drive as an option, while vehicles with the turbocharged engine come standard with all-wheel drive. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard for both body styles, with a six-speed manual transmission being an option for hatchbacks that have front-wheel drive. While the drivetrain options are quite similar, the Mazda3 Sedan does get slightly better fuel economy thanks to a more aerodynamic design.

Passenger Space and Cargo Room

Both the 2024 Mazda3 Sedan and 2024 Mazda3 Hatchback have comfortable, supportive seats for five travelers.

Depending on the trim, the Mazda3 Hatchback offers slightly more headroom.

Cargo space is the primary area in which these Mazda vehicles differ. The Mazda3 Sedan has a trunk that measures 13.2 cubic feet. Cargo room is more generous for the Mazda3 Hatchback, with up to 20.1 cubic feet of room in the trunk for gear or groceries. The rear seats in both body styles fold easily if you need to transport longer items.
