2019 Mazda3 Hatchback vs 2020 Kia Soul
For our next comparison of the 2019 Mazda3, we wanted something a bit more unique. Just as the Mazda3 underwent a complete redesign for its 2019 model, we wanted a competitor that similarly was affected by a substantial amount of changes for its current/upcoming model. For that, we’ve chosen the 2020 Kia Soul.
While the 2020 Kia Soul might make a poor comparison against the 2019 Mazda3 sedan, it provides a unique yet not dissimilar contrast against the 2019 Mazda3 hatchback. However, what makes this matchup all the more interesting is the number of differences when compared to their previous models. Undergoing massive redesigns, the 2019 Mazda3 and the 2020 Kia Soul represent a first entry in a new generation for their respective models. So, let’s see how well these brand-new entries stand on equal footing. It’s the 2019 Mazda3 hatchback vs the 2020 Kia Soul CUV!
