Powertrain Options

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra has a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. It also only comes in FWD. The 2021 Mazda3 Sedan has three different choices.

Lastly, there’s the turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine that can pump out up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. As the final nail in the coffin, the 2021 Mazda3 is available with AWD. The 2021 Elantra isn’t.
