Should You Buy a 2023 Mazda3 or 2023 Kia Forte?

January 10 2023,

Should You Buy a 2023 Mazda3 or 2023 Kia Forte?

When it comes to purchasing a new car, there are a lot of things to consider. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons of each model to determine which one is right for you. Let’s take a look at two popular compact cars on the market: the Mazda3 and Kia Forte. In this article, we will discuss why the 2023 Mazda3 may be the better choice for you.


Performance

The Mazda3 has an impressive performance with its 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G engine that delivers 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. The Kia Forte is no slouch either but only offers 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque from its 2.0-litre GDI engine, making it slightly less powerful than the Mazda3.


Safety Features

Both cars come standard with a suite of advanced safety features, such as lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and forward collision warning/mitigation systems. However, the Mazda3 also offers an available driver attention alert system that monitors your driving pattern in order to detect any signs of fatigue or distraction while behind the wheel. This feature gives drivers an extra layer of protection that is not available with the Kia Forte.


AWD

The Mazda3 also offers an available all-wheel drive system, giving drivers more control and stability in inclement weather. Mazda's i-ACTIV AWD system is quite advanced and can even distribute torque across all four wheels to give you an extra boost of power when needed. The Kia Forte does not offer an AWD system, so if you are looking for that added peace of mind in the winter months, the Mazda3 may be a better choice.


When it comes down to value for money and performance capabilities, it's clear that the Mazda3 is a better buy than the Kia Forte for anyone looking for a reliable car with plenty of features at an affordable price point. With its higher horsepower output and additional safety feature not found on the Kia Forte, along with an available AWD system - what more can you ask for? If you’re in need of an efficient vehicle with plenty of features at an affordable price point, then look no further – get yourself into a new 2023 Mazda 3 today!
