When it comes to sedans, no one should settle for second best. That is why the team at Northside Honda is here to help all sedan drivers in the San Antonio, Schertz, and Alamo Heights, Texas, areas find their next model.
Two of the most popular sedans on the streets are no doubt the Honda Civic and Mazda3. In this comparison, you’ll learn about both models, what they offer, and how they’ll make your driving experience more enjoyable. Which one will come out on top in this 2020 Honda Civic vs. Mazda3 battle? Let’s get started and find out.
We know you want plenty of power under the hood and efficiency that keeps you on the road for longer. Luckily, both of these sedans bring just that to the table.
Each is standardly powered by a 4-cylinder engine that generates over 150 horsepower. When you opt for the Mazda3, you’ll see an EPA-estimated gas mileage of 26 city/35 highway MPG. However, if you choose the Honda Civic, you’ll be visiting the gas station less often.
The base level of the Civic—the LX trim—boasts an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 30 city/38 highway MPG, slightly better than its competitor.* This can be elevated even further with the available 1.5L engine on the EX and EX-L trim levels. This configuration gives you an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency of a whopping 32 city/42 highway MPG.* Pretty impressive!
Along with the different fuel economies, the 2020 Civic and 2020 Mazda3 also vary when it comes to cabin roominess. Each can seat up to five, but with a closer glance, one model proves to be more spacious.
The Honda Civic boasts a passenger capacity of 97.8 cubic feet, while the Mazda3 comes in with a lesser 92.8 cubic feet. Though this isn’t a big change, it is noticeable in their seating arrangements.
Headroom and shoulder room in the front seat of the Honda Civic offers more room for drivers and passengers to stretch out and get cozy. Legroom and shoulder room in the rear is also roomier in the Civic than in the Mazda3, and the Honda offers a larger cargo space as well.
So, no matter where you’re sitting, you’ll probably be more comfortable in the 2020 Civic. Let’s take a look:
