Differences Between the 2020 VW Golf GTI and 2020 Mazda3 Hatchback

As you may have guessed, there are many differences between the 2020 VW Golf GTI and 2020 Mazda3 hatchback. While the list of benefits for each is long, we will discuss a few of the biggest differences present.

Do you prioritize high performance? If so, then the 2020 VW Golf GTI is the hatchback for you. Equipped with a 2.0L engine generating 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, you can expect plenty of thrill with each press of the gas pedal. Compared to the 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque offered with the Mazda3, this is a huge upgrade.

Inside the 2020 VW Golf GTI, you can also expect a roomy cabin for passengers and belongings. With the rear seats folded, the maximum cargo volume is 53.7 cubic feet in the Golf GTI and 47.1 cubic feet inside the Mazda3. With over 5 cubic feet more space, packing the Golf GTI will feel like a breeze. Need to seat both rows? While the Mazda3 does offer more legroom for front-row passengers, the Golf GTI surpasses its competitor with more legroom in the back as well as extra headroom in both rows. Basically, if you enjoy some extra room or are taller, you can find more comfort inside the 2020 VW Golf GTI.

Finally, you can rest assured that your Golf GTI will include a lengthy bumper to bumper warranty to help keep you on the road and eliminate costs for qualifying repairs for 48 months or 50,000 miles. For more details about the 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI, including its available trims, features, technology, warranty, and more, contact us at Sheehy Volkswagen of Hagerstown. We look forward to hearing from you!
