The 2023 Mazda 3 Sedan offers 92.8 cu-ft of total passenger volume which is more than the 88.6 cu-ft in the Toyota Corolla. However, it falls short of the space in front of the Jetta’s 94.7 cu-ft and the Civic’s 99 cu-ft. The car offers similar interior features as the others but lacks the wifi-hotspot that the Jetta offers. Mazda leads in terms of quality and feel of the material. It dominates the conventional interior design of the Civic and the Corolla. The cargo capacity up to the second row of the Mazda 3 is more than the Corolla’s.
