2023 MAZDA CX-30 vs. Toyota Corolla Cross
In recent years, the subcompact SUV class has seen a big increase in the number of available models. If this is the type of vehicle you’re looking for, you now have quite a few to pick from. This guide looks at the 2023 Mazda CX-30 and how it compares to the Toyota Corolla Cross in three key areas.
Power- and Drivetrain
The Mazda CX-30 has a potent 2.5-liter four-cylinder that will give you 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. This mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard in this new Mazda.
The Toyota Corolla Cross can’t compete in terms of power, as it has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that only offers 169 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. Its engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is standard, and you’d need to upgrade to get all-wheel drive.
Tech
The Mazda CX-30 comes with several advanced tech features, including:
- An 8.8-inch infotainment display
- Apple CarPlay™
- Android Auto®
- Two USB ports
- Bluetooth®
- An eight-speaker stereo
- HD Radio
- A Wi-Fi hot spot
- Push-button start
You can also get your Mazda SUV equipped with a 12-speaker Bose® stereo, satellite radio, and navigation.
The Toyota Corolla Cross only has a six-speaker stereo. Plus, push-button start is offered as an available feature.
Safety
The Mazda CX-30 is designed to help keep you and your passengers safe. Every model has:
- Driver attention monitoring
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane keep assist
- Lane departure warning
- Automatic high-beam headlights
- Forward collision warning
