So what separates these two models? At the base, the Mazda6 is going to include a more powerful 2.5L I-4 engine that offers a bit more zip than the 2.0L I-4 that comes standard in the Mazda3. However, the Mazda3 is also going to be a bit more fuel efficient, though neither offer anything near bad efficiency. With the Mazda3 you can get up to 41 MPG on the highway, though some may prefer the Mazda6 for having about 20-25 miles more of max highway range from its larger fuel tank.
