PERFORMANCE
The size of a sedan speaks to more than just its interior space. It also gives drivers an idea of how it glides through the air. What’s under the engine is also more than what meets the eye. With that being said, which sedan will offer the performance you crave?

After a closer review, the Mazda3 is smaller than the Camry, which provides a few performance benefits. Due to its sleeker silhouette, the Mazda3 achieves more agile handling and increased aerodynamics than the Toyota.
Smooth Moves
On top of having a smaller frame, only the Mazda3 comes with Skyactiv®-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control Plus. This feature responds to your steering inputs with the right amount of engine torque and braking adjustments. So, no matter where you drive, you’ll experience enhanced stability and a smoother drive.
TECHNOLOGY
In-car technology is more than just for fun—it’s also for practicality. Whether you’re taking on regular routes or new roads, the technologies inside the Mazda3 and the Toyota Camry will provide the digital assistance you require.
Visually Appealing
If you’re looking for a model with more display real estate, choose the Mazda3. This model has the following cockpit displays:
- 7-inch LCD Meter Display
- 8.8-inch center display
In comparison, the Toyota’s Multi-Information Display reaches 4.2 inches, which is significantly smaller than the Mazda’s. The Camry’s 7-inch infotainment display is a close match to the Mazda3’s touchscreen; however, you may enjoy the better graphics of the Mazda’s screen.
Take Control
Let’s talk about infotainment. Both sedans offer command centers outfitted with the latest technologies. For instance, let’s take a peek at what the Mazda3 offers its drivers:
- 8 speakers
- Voice command
- Multifunction Commander control
- SMS text message audio delivery and reply
While the Toyota has Bluetooth® hands-free phone and voice-command capabilities, your listening experience may not be as crisp with its six standard speakers. Plus, only the Mazda has a Multifunction Commander control, which lets you navigate the infotainment screen without touching it.
SAFETY
Your peace of mind is important. You should feel comfortable and confident every time you slide behind the wheel. With the help of standard driver-assistance aids in the Mazda3 and the Toyota Camry, you can kick back, relax, and enjoy the ride ahead.
A Confident Ride
Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ and i-Activsense® are the standard safety suites on the Camry and the Mazda3. Plus, their suites have many matching features, such as these found on the Mazda:
- Smart Brake Support
- Lane Departure Warning System
- High Beam Control
- Lane-keep Assist
- Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go
For additional protection, you can add on Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert to either sedan.
Need To Take a Break?
While their driver-assistance features monitor the road, the Mazda’s standard Driver Attention Alert system also watches your driving behavior. This system is designed to help you stay alert and focused on the road. Plus, it will even suggest you take a break when drowsy or distracted driving is observed.
Although the Camry has a comprehensive safety suite, it goes without a comparable attention feature.
