To keep this comparison fair, we have explored the engine options and features offered in the sedan and hatchback models for the Civic.

By keeping the engine uniform across all packages for each body style, you won’t feel overwhelmed by multiple engine options. With the Civic, researching the engine options seemed complicated as the sedan and hatchback only share one engine while each offer an additional engine that isn’t found in the other. In addition, while you only got one engine choice with the 2020 Mazda3, the Mazda3 provides more horsepower and torque than even the strongest available engine found in the Civic.
Regarding luxury, the 2020 Mazda3 is also the clear winner. Many features are similar or identical, but there are a couple convenient technologies found in the Mazda3. For example, the 2020 Mazda3 includes a standard proximity key while the Civic will only provide it if buyers upgrade.
