Looking for a sporty SUV? The Mazda CX-30 could be perfect. But, if you’d like to see how it compares to another vehicle in its class, here you’ll find out how it matches up with the Subaru Crosstrek:
Power
The Mazda CX-30 may be small, but it sure is mighty. It comes with a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 186 horsepower. You can also go with the 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pumps out 250 horsepower. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard. To say that the power in the Subaru Crosstrek is underwhelming is a bit of an understatement. It comes with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that puts out 152 horsepower. Even its bigger engine – a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder – doesn’t offer more horsepower than the base engine in the Mazda CX-30.
Tech
You’ll love all of the tech features found in every Mazda CX-30. A Wi-Fi hot spot, two USB ports, and HD radio are all standard. You will also get Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and an eight-speaker stereo. Wireless device charging, navigation, and a 12-speaker BOSE® sound system are just a few of the available features. The Subaru Crosstrek only comes with one USB port and a four-speaker stereo. HD radio requires an upgrade.
Safety
The Mazda CX-30 comes loaded with safety features, such as:
- Lane departure warning
- Pedestrian detection
- Automatic high-beam headlights
- Forward collision warning
- Lane-keep assist
- Driver attention monitoring
- Automatic emergency braking
- Adaptive cruise control
None of those features are standard with the Subaru Crosstrek, and you would have to upgrade to get any advanced components.
