Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid than the Mazda Mazda3. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mazda Mazda3, the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
With the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Mazda Mazda3, due to its larger tank size and better fuel economy.
