Red 2023 Mazda CX-30 in a showroom.

The stylish, well-equipped 2023 Mazda CX-30 is an excellent choice for subcompact crossover SUV shoppers. Powered by a turbocharged engine and boasting all the latest tech features, this model performs just as well as it looks.

Compared to rivals like the Hyundai Kona, this Mazda SUV is the sure pick.

Powertrains

Test-drive the 2023 Mazda CX-30 at Peruzzi Mazda and you’ll have two engine choices. The entry-level and midrange trims utilize a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that outputs 186 hp. The midrange and high-end trims upgrade to a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 250 hp.

Meanwhile, the 2023 Hyundai Kona model’s comparable engines don’t measure up. The standard engine achieves only 147 hp, while the upgraded engine is rated at just 195 hp. Another big advantage for the 2023 Mazda CX-30 is its standard all-wheel drive (AWD), which is only optional for the Hyundai Kona.

Trim Lineup

This subcompact crossover new Mazda vehicle is offered in eight trims, a lineup that’s among the biggest in its class. Consequently, our customers have a range of great choices and the opportunity to match the perfect trim to their lifestyle and needs. Among these choices are the stylish 2023 Mazda CX-30 Carbon Edition and the fully loaded 2023 Mazda CX-30 Premium.

On the contrary, the 2023 Hyundai Kona comes in only five trims – and while they’re all reasonably well equipped, you might find it hard to find one that matches the character and style of our 2023 Mazda CX-30 models.

Cabin

Another reason to choose Mazda financing for the 2023 Mazda CX-30 is its upscale cabin. It’s a classy, spacious environment that offers plenty of legroom, comfortable seats, and the latest infotainment features. Another advantage: minimal road noise.

By contrast, the 2023 Hyundai Kona allows a level of road noise that you might find intrusive, as well as a smaller-than-average cargo hold. But perhaps the biggest setback is the fact that this Hyundai SUV’s cabin construction skews a bit too heavily towards plasticky and cost-conscious.
