2022 Mazda3 / 2022 Hyundai Elantra Comparison

Performance 

Equipped with a standard 2.0L SKYACTIV®-G four-cylinder engine, the standard 2022 Mazda3 has plenty of performance to easily handle everyday tasks. Generating 155 horsepower and channeling it through a SKYACTIV®-DRIVE six-speed automatic transmission, the ride of the standard sedan or hatchback is vibrant and smooth. Comparatively, the 2022 Hyundai Elantra comes equipped with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine of its own. However, it only delivers 147 horsepower and is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission. Both vehicles come with standard FWD platforms, while the Mazda3 offers available AWD on select trim levels.  

Interior Features 

When passengers step into a 2022 Mazda3 sedan or hatchback, they are going to appreciate the premium materials and spacious cabin of the vehicle. This upscale feel is something that every Mazda vehicle is known for, which is not a trademark of the more conventional Hyundai Elantra. Infotainment options found both vehicles are fitting of their modern stylings. An eight-inch touchscreen display is standard in both the Mazda and the Hyundai. They also both provide smartphone connection applications such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth®. One advantage to the Mazda3 is that it comes with an integrated Wi-Fi® hotspot as a standard feature. The baseline Elantra lacks this convenient feature in its infotainment system.  

Safety Features 

For safety-minded consumers, both the 2022 Mazda3 and the 2022 Hyundai Elantra are equipped with plenty of driver-assistance features to keep everyone in the vehicle safe during daily operation. This includes systems such as Automatic Emergency Braking to help drivers prevent the likelihood of a frontal collision. During busy city driving or highway cruising sessions, Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning help ensure the vehicles stay in their intended spot on the road. When opting for a Mazda3 model with AWD handling equipped, drivers get the premier all-weather handling they can count on in mid-Michigan.
