Performance 

The 2.0L four-cylinder engine that comes equipped with the base 2022 Mazda3 trim level delivers 155 horsepower to the FWD platform for a vibrant driving experience all across mid-Michigan. Meanwhile, the baseline 2022 Toyota Corolla comes equipped with a standard 1.8L four-cylinder engine. This smaller engine only generates 139 horsepower and is also paired with a standard FWD platform. Customers looking at getting the most from the Mazda3 will adore the top-end 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 250 horsepower for a sensational ride. None of the powertrains available on the Corolla can come close to what the Mazda3 offers. Both vehicles can also have AWD equipped on select trim levels. 

Interior Features 

The Mazda3 sedan provides more interior space for passengers and cargo alike. With 92.8 cubic feet of passenger space and 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk, the Mazda outperforms the 88.6 total cubic feet of passenger space and 13.1 cubic feet of cargo space in the Toyota. Premium materials adorn the cabin of every 2022 Mazda3 sedan and hatchback to treat passengers to the quintessential Mazda feel. This is also coupled with added conveniences such as a larger standard eight-inch touchscreen to access all the various applications found in the infotainment system. The 2022 Toyota Corolla is equipped with a standard seven-inch display in comparison. Both vehicles offer integrated Wi-Fi® hotspots and Bluetooth® connectivity for applicable smartphones for welcome convenience all across Michigan. The baseline Mazda3 also comes equipped with a quality eight-speaker sound system while the Corolla only has a six-speaker system at the base trim level.  

Safety Features 

Both accessible vehicles provide drivers with the modern assistance technology that they need to be confident in a wide variety of driving situations. This includes having the combination of Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning to ensure that the chances of a frontal collision are greatly reduced. They also share Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning systems as excellent driver assistance features.
