February 25 2022,
The subcompact SUV segment is filled with budget-oriented vehicles that tend to leave passion and refinement behind. The Mazda CX-30, on the other hand, provides maximum value while incorporating the best in terms of performance, technologies and refinement in a spacious and stylish SUV your family will absolutely love.
Here, we compare the 2022 Mazda CX-30 with the 2022 Kia Seltos.
The 2022 Mazda CX-30 takes performance seriously
Performance has always been one of the key pillars of the Mazda brand. That’s why engineers have given this subcompact SUV a series of powerful engines that deliver the perfect balance between efficiency and performance. The Mazda CX-30 lineup starts with a four-cylinder 2.0-litre engine that provides 155 hp and 150 lb-ft of torque. It delivers more power and torque than the Seltos’ most common engine, a four-cylinder 2.0 litre unit with 146 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque.
2022 Mazda CX-30 buyers can also choose a more powerful 2.5-litre engine that delivers 186 hp. This surpasses the Seltos’ most powerful turbocharged engine option, which can only output 175 hp.
Finally, the available Skyactiv-G 2.5 T Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine is offered with the CX-30 and is one of the many statements that confirm Mazda’s commitment to performance. It outputs up to 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque, leaving all Kia Seltos models behind.
The Mazda CX-30 is also fitted with a sporty Skyactiv-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift mode and Drive Selection switch that is designed to provide advanced dynamics and a more interactive drive. I-Activ AWD is also standard throughout the lineup in order to provide drivers with optimal control in all weather conditions.
In most Seltos models, you will find a much less sporty continuously variable transmission. And all-wheel drive is optional.
The CX-30 provides more refinement, along with more advanced technologies
Mazda CX-30 drivers will benefit from an upscale interior that includes a larger 8.8-inch infotainment screen linked to a powerful Mazda Harmonic Accoustics sound system with 8 speakers. The Seltos’ interior is much more basic, and the base variant only has an 8-inch screen with a less powerful 6-speaker sound system.
