2021 Toyota Corolla vs 2021 Mazda3: Efficiency and reliability like only Toyota can create

The Toyota Corolla returns this year after being completely redesigned last year. Already one of the best-selling cars in the world, the redesigned Toyota Corolla has made sure to retain its popularity by retaining the elements that have dictated its success. We're talking about its safety, reliability, resale value, performance and fuel economy.

The Mazda3 has also been successful since its launch, but it is nowhere near the number of Corolla sales and there are several reasons for this. For starters, the 2021 Toyota Corolla has never had a rust problem and its resale value remains among the best in the industry. The Mazda3 has had some rust issues, as we know, in addition to having poor resale value. Here are more reasons why the Toyota Corolla differs from the Mazda3. Let’s take a closer look.

The 2021 Toyota Corolla is more fuel efficient

The 2021 Toyota Corolla comes standard with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine producing 139 horsepower and 126 lb-ft of torque. This engine is both efficient and economical, and it can be paired with a six-speed manual or even a continuously variable automatic transmission that has been designed to behave like a traditional automatic transmission with simulated gear changes. As a result, the Corolla is much more economical than the Mazda3.

Despite its SKYACTIV technology, the Mazda3 has a minimum fuel consumption of 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway. The 2021 Toyota Corolla consumes 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 6.1 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway. Obviously, with an average fuel consumption of 4.4 liters per 100 kilometers, the Toyota Corolla Hybrid is the model to choose if we want a truly economical car! You won't find hybrid versions in the Mazda3 lineup.
