2020 Subaru Impreza vs. 2021 Mazda 3
The 2020 Subaru Impreza is the common choice amongst car enthusiasts looking for a compact car with good fuel efficiency. It has good traction to support safe rides during poor weather conditions. Its interior cabin space is also more than adequate utilizing all available storage for small items.
The 2021 Mazda 3 boasts an upscale interior and a stylish outlook while supporting overall good maneuver and handling. It also offers the option of an all-wheel drive for those seeking an off-road experience.
Design & Style
The 2020 Subaru Impreza comes with external side trimmings that are sleek and pleasing to the eyes whereas its interior sports stitches of a contrasting color on the doors with a panel for instruments that is able to be extended. Outside, it has a wide front grille and a bumper that runs low with wheel arches that wrap around a wheelbase of between 16 – 18 inches.
The 2021 Mazda 3 sports a wide grille upfront with slim headlights that are tucked away and lost in the traditional outline of its structure. The sheet metal contours gently whilst its roof is extraordinarily lengthy which almost stretches the car to a mid-sedan size.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Subaru Impreza is furnished with an infotainment system that comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen display. It has a good in-built control layout which supports improved outward vision. For safety, the Impreza features auto emergency brakes, pedestrian detection, lane and cruise controls, and traffic alerts.
The 2021 Mazda 3 boasts several safety features such as knee airbags, anti-lock braking system, and stability controls. Its crash test scores are rated at just “Good” though internal safety is still relatively comprehensive. For infotainment, its dash is equipped with an 8.8-inch display with Apple/Android compatibility without the regular touchscreen you would expect on new sedan releases.
Performance
The 2020 Subaru Impreza puts out 152 horsepower on its surefooted all-wheel drive powered by a 2L flat-4 engine through an auto continuous variable transmission that produces 145 pound-feet of torque.
The 2021 Mazda 3 runs on a 2.5L inline-4 engine which is relatively bigger than its competition and it produces 186 horsepower which is suitable for power seekers who are not looking for fuel economy.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru Impreza has always been the choice for potential car owners looking for a comfortable ride without sacrificing on overall performance and efficiency on top of an appealing exterior outlook.
The 2021 Mazda 3 lacks on its internal infotainment features though from an overall perspective, its outlook and performance are of an average rating.
