Compare the 2025 Mazda CX-30 to the Competition in Northumberland, PA
The Mazda CX-30 is a refined and versatile subcompact crossover that offers attractive accommodations, flexible cargo capacity, and sporty, elegant style in a city-friendly package. It's also enjoyable to drive, with perky performance options, nimble handling dynamics, and a smooth ride. The Mazda CX-30 is ideal for shoppers seeking a class-above driving experience without the premium price tag – and it's available for sale or lease here at W&L Mazda in Northumberland, PA.
While there's no shortage of subcompact crossovers to choose from, the 2025 Mazda CX-30 represents one of the segment's most compelling mainstream nameplates. Here's a quick look at how it compares in a few important areas to two prominent class competitors: the Subaru Crosstrek and Honda HR-V.
Mazda CX-30 Performance
The Mazda CX-30's performance is unmatched in its class. Standard power comes from a Mazda SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 191 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. If you're seeking something more potent to power your Hazleton commute, 2.5 Turbo models increase output to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque.1 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.
Most models in the segment appear a little underpowered when compared to the Mazda CX-30. For example:
- The Subaru Crosstrek's standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine makes just 152 horsepower/145 pound-feet of torque. Even the available 2.5-liter upgrade (182 horsepower/178 pound-feet of torque) is shy of the Mazda CX-30's base engine. That said, the Crosstrek does come standard with all-wheel drive.
- The Honda HR-V offers a lone 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (158 horsepower/138 pound-feet of torque) and reserves all-wheel drive as an optional add-on.
Mazda CX-30 Accommodations
A renowned penchant for refinement places Mazda vehicles in a league of their own. While it competes in the mainstream segments, the Mazda CX-30 delivers an impressively upscale driving experience without the luxury car price tag. The attractive cabin is cozy and refined, with quality materials, nicely cushioned and supportive seats, and a clean, modern design.
Competitors like the Honda HR-V and Subaru Crosstrek are comfortable in their own right and impressively roomy for the segment. Still, they can't match the Mazda CX-30's premium feel.
Mazda CX-30 Features
While most modern crossovers are nicely equipped, the Mazda CX-30's equipment list offers a few notable advantages over its competitors. Here's a quick look at a few examples:
- The Mazda CX-30 has a standard 8.8-inch infotainment display, while the Honda HR-V and Subaru Crosstrek both have 7-inch screens in their base trim.
- The Mazda CX-30 upgrades to a 10.25-inch display in all Turbo models. The Honda HR-V's optional 9-inch display is limited to the highest trim.
- The Mazda CX-30 offers several available amenities and tech features you won't typically find in other subcompact crossover lineups. Examples include a head-up display, driver-position memory, ventilated front seats, and a 360-degree camera system.
