Better Standard Infotainment

The 2021 Kia Forte comes standard features the 2021 MAzda3 doesn't have. Those features are Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an 8-inch touchscreen. The 2021 Mazda3 2.0 only gets a Bluetooth and an 8.8-inch screen without touch controls. Even once you get into available features, the 2021 Mazda3 doesn’t have any noteworthy features that the 2021 Forte doesn't also get. At the top trim levels, the integrated connectivity tech equipment for both models is basically identical.
