You also get additional technology and safety features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert.

Many people choose the Select trim because they want the extra connectivity of having Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but this trim also adds a few safety features.

PREFERRED

With the 2020 Mazda3 Preferred, you add some features to make your driving experience more luxurious. This trim gives you a 12-speaker premium Bose stereo, as well as heated front seats. You also get an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, Sirius XM satellite radio, and an overhead console.

The Premium trim gives you leather-trimmed seats and a power sliding-glass moonroof. For safety, you get an adaptive front-lighting system, a windshield projected active driving display, and signature LED headlights and taillights. The Mazda3 Premium also gives you 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. If you want it all, the Premium trim is a great option for you!

2020 MAZDA3 HATCHBACK

The Mazda3 Hatchback has only three different trim levels instead of the four offered in the sedan. The hatchback version does not have a Select trim, but the base trim for the Mazda3 Hatchback mirrors the Select trim in the sedan. This means your base Mazda3 Hatchback offers you synthetic leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 8.8-inch infotainment system, and a ton of safety features including blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.

That being said, the Mazda3 Hatchback will start off slightly more expensive than the sedan version, and every trim of the Hatchback will be about one thousand dollars more than the Mazda3 Sedan. With the Hatchback, you have the same features offered on the Preferred and Premium trims as the sedan version, except for one thing. The Mazda3 Hatchback Premium trim is the only trim where you can get the optional manual transmission; this is not available on the Sedan.

There are a couple of other differences between the Sedan and Hatchback versions of the Mazda3. One of these is fuel economy. These vehicles have the same engine, but the Hatchback earns slightly different fuel efficiency with 25 city and 35 highway miles per gallon. The cargo space is another difference. In the Mazda3 Sedan, you get a 13.2 cubic-foot trunk, but the Hatchback offers you 20.1 cubic feet of cargo space.

WHICH TRIM IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

When choosing the 2020 Mazda3 trim level that is right for you, you should first think about whether you want the Sedan or the Hatchback. Both of these models are great, but they provide you with a different look. They also provide you with different cargo space; the Mazda3 Hatchback offers you more cargo space.

Once you determine whether the Sedan or Hatchback is right for you, you can take a look at each trim offered and what features it gives you. The base models in both versions of this vehicle offer you plenty of technology features and a lot of safety features standard. However, if you are looking to get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in your 2020 Mazda3 Sedan, you have to upgrade to the Select trim. The higher-level Preferred and Premium trims give you more upscale interiors and even more features, so if you are looking to have all the features you can, you will want to go with one of those.
