If you’re considering buying a new Mazda sedan or Mazda hatchback, you’ll want to work with Whitten Brothers Mazda in Richmond!

We also have a great inventory of new Mazda cars for sale, whether you’re looking for a four-door Mazda3 sedan or a five-door Mazda3 hatchback.
Both the Mazda3 sedan and the Mazda3 hatchback offer seating for up to five. The biggest difference between the Mazda sedan and the Mazda hatchback is the trunk space. According to Mazda, “Sedans are built on a 3-box body with a separate trunk, while hatchbacks are built on a 2-box body with a connected hatch”.
The sedan makes more sense for drivers who prefer a more traditional, separate trunk. Sedans are often longer than hatchbacks, which provides more legroom inside the cabin.
The hatchback is the way to go if you don’t mind the combined passenger and trunk space. Hatchbacks typically have more storage space because of this design. The Mazda3 sedan has 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space, and the Mazda3 hatchback has 20.1 cubic feet of cargo space.
The good news is you can’t go wrong with either vehicle choice! Ultimately it comes down to preferences and which body style feels more comfortable to drive. Both the Mazda sedan and the Mazda hatchback offer available i-Activ AWD® (all-wheel drive), fuel-efficient engine with Skyactiv® technology, available turbo engine, luxe interiors, and the i-Activsense® suite of safety features.
The 2024 and 2025 Mazda3 hatchbacks and the 2024 and 2025 Mazda3 sedans received the Top Safety Pick+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Both Mazda cars also received 5-star overall safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Both the Mazda sedan and the Mazda hatchback are Consumer Reports recommended.
