Compare the Mazda CX-30 to the Competition
2025 Mazda CX-30 vs. Subaru Crosstrek, Hyundai Kona, and Honda HR-V
Compare Subcompact Crossovers in Cincinnati, OH
The Mazda CX-30 is a superb subcompact crossover that delivers a class-above driving experience without the high-class price tag. It offers refined, well-equipped accommodations, plentiful practicality, and sophisticated style. It's also enjoyable to drive, with perky performance options, nimble handling dynamics, and a smooth ride.
While there are plenty of options in the subcompact crossover segment, the Mazda CX-30 represents one of the most compelling mainstream nameplates. To demonstrate what makes the CX-30 so appealing, here's a quick look at how it compares in a few important areas to three prominent class competitors: the Subaru Crosstrek, Hyundai Kona, and Honda HR-V.
Mazda CX-30 Performance
The Mazda CX-30 delivers unmatched performance in the subcompact crossover class. Standard propulsion comes from a Mazda SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine generating 191 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. Smart suspension tuning and a balanced chassis give the Mazda CX-30 agile handling and a smooth ride. Plus, all models provide the surefooted traction of Mazda i-ACTIV® all-wheel drive.
Are you seeking something even more engaging for your Mason or Montgomery commute? Mazda CX-30 Carbon Turbo, 2.5 Turbo Premium, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus trims increase output up to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque.1
When compared to the Mazda CX-30, most class competitors seem a bit underpowered. For example:
Subaru Crosstrek: A standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine makes 152 horsepower/145 pound-feet of torque. Even the optional 2.5-liter engine (182 horsepower/178 pound-feet of torque) falls short of the Mazda CX-30's base engine. Subaru SUVs also come standard with all-wheel drive
Hyundai Kona: Standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder (147 horsepower/132 pound-feet of torque) or available 1.6-liter turbo-four (190 horsepower/195 pound-feet of torque). All-wheel drive is optional.
Honda HR-V: A 2.0-liter four-cylinder (158 horsepower/138 pound-feet of torque) is the only engine available. All-wheel drive is optional.
Mazda CX-30 Accommodations
While it competes in the mainstream segments, Mazda's penchant for refinement puts it in a league of its own. The Mazda CX-30 is an excellent example, offering an impressively upscale driving experience without the luxury car price tag. The cabin is comfortable and classy, with quality materials, ergonomic seats, and an attractive, modern design that exemplifies the automaker's minimalist-inspired ethos without compromising accessibility.
Vehicles like the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona, and Subaru Crosstrek are comfortable and impressively spacious for their class. However, they can't match the Mazda CX-30's premium feel.
Mazda CX-30 Features
While modern crossovers are better equipped than ever, the Mazda CX-30 offers a few advantages over various competitors. Some notable examples include:
The Mazda CX-30 has a standard 8.8-inch infotainment display and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration. The Honda HR-V and Subaru Crosstrek both have 7-inch screens in their base trim.
The Mazda CX-30 comes standard with Radar Cruise Control, while the Hyundai Kona reserves this feature for higher trim levels.
The Mazda CX-30 lineup includes several available upgrades that most subcompact crossovers don't offer. Examples include a head-up display, driver-position memory, ventilated front seats (available in Kona Limited), and a 360-degree camera system (available in Kona Limited).
