The 2024 BMW 3 Series offers premium performance and luxury in a sophisticated sedan design. When you compare this model to other vehicles, such as the MAZDA3, it leaves the competition in the dust. The BMW of Sherman Oaks experts can show you how the 2024 BMW 3 Series matches up against the 2024 MAZDA3 in performance and versatility.
Engine Power and Performance
When you need more power out of your sedan, BMW has you covered. Thanks to its standard 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo engine, the 2024 BMW 3 Series generates 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque in its base model, with other models adding even higher output. By contrast, the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter DOHC engine on the 2024 MAZDA3 generates 191 horsepower, with an available SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine boosting performance up to 250 horsepower.
Luxury Handling and Drivetrain
You’ll feel the elegant and dynamic handling of the 2024 BMW 3 Series when you get behind the wheel. Standard rear-wheel drive ensures sporty handling, while available xDrive® All-Wheel Drive ensures optimal traction. The 2024 MAZDA3 features standard front-wheel drive, with available i-ACTIV AWD® for select models, and offers much different driving dynamics than you’ll find in a BMW sedan.
Interior Space
Drivers who need a little more room to stretch out should consider the 2024 BMW 3 Series, as its interior can comfortably fit five passengers. This model features 38.7 inches of headroom and 56 inches of shoulder room. The 2024 MAZDA3 also seats five passengers, but with only 38 maximum inches of headroom and 55.7 inches of shoulder room, it doesn’t quite measure up.
