Accessible and sporty hatchbacks are fun options to take around the Central Michigan region. Take the 2024 Mazda3 Hatchback for example. Equipped with a vibrant engine and filled with premium comfort and infotainment amenities, everything about the Mazda is desirable for everyday travel across cities and highways. How does the 2024 Mazda3 Hatchback compare to the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hatchback? Drivers of the Mazda3 will find themselves piloting a vehicle with more power than the Toyota, as well as having plenty of interior features that deliver a superior ride throughout Michigan. As such, the Mazda provides everyone in the family with a more enjoyable experience throughout the year when it comes to a dependable and sporty hatchback.  

Performance 
 

Drivers deserve the optimal experience behind the wheel when it comes to owning an energetic everyday cruiser. With the standard 2.5L SKYACTIV®-G four-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2024 Mazda3, the vehicle delivers a fantastic 191 horsepower for vibrant performance throughout the city or highway. Comparatively, the 2024 Toyota Corolla is equipped with a less powerful 2.0L four-cylinder engine that only generates 169 horsepower. As such, the Mazda offers a noticeable improvement for a much more entertaining ride. While both vehicles are equipped with standard FWD platforms for dependable handling in mid-Michigan without sacrificing excellent fuel economy, the Mazda is the only one of the two to offer available AWD handling. As such, interested customers can make their sporty Mazda hatchback into an incredibly capable all-season cruiser.  

Interior Features 
 

Passengers of the 2024 Mazda3 Hatchback will appreciate all the extra personal space they have in the vehicle when compared to the 2024 Corolla. The Mazda has 92.8 total cubic feet of passenger space, while the Toyota only has 88.6 total cubic feet to offer. As such, occupants of the Mazda3 will be able to more comfortably stretch their arms and legs when it comes to those long journeys across the many Michigan highways that they may travel on throughout the year. When it comes to elevating their experience in the vehicles through immersive applications, both the Mazda and the Toyota have modern infotainment amenities ready to enjoy. This includes having consistent Internet access through their respective integrated Wi-Fi® hotspots. Compatible smartphones can also connect to each vehicle’s infotainment systems through mediums such as Bluetooth®, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay for convenient access to various menus that their devices contain. 

Safety Features 

Driving in Michigan requires a versatile vehicle to handle the various driving conditions that the state can bring. This includes introducing slippery snow-covered and/or icy roads when winter arrives. This is where the available AWD that only the 2024 Mazda3 Hatchback can be equipped with is valuable. When compared to the Toyota and its sole FWD option, the Mazda3 can provide extra precision when it comes to handling those less-than-ideal driving conditions. For everyday driving around town, both family cruisers have shared driver-assistance features that offer excellent information about the road and traffic around them. Automatic Emergency Braking technology with additional Forward Collision Warning allows drivers to have another layer of protection and monitoring when preventing accidents from in front of the vehicle.
