Three Reasons to Buy a 2023 Mazda CX-30 Instead of a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek or 2024 Honda HR-V
May 23 2023,
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 brings a lot to the table in terms of value, performance, and driving dynamics. Often regarded as one of the most enjoyable and agile sport utility vehicles in its segment, the 2023 Mazda CX-30 has received multiple enhancements this year, making it more competitive than ever. Here, we compare it to not one, but two of its primary competitors: the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek and the 2024 Honda HR-V. Both have been redesigned this year and offer many attractive features. However, the 2023 Mazda CX-30 outshines them in terms of standard features, cost, and performance. Let's examine three specific reasons why you might want to choose the 2023 Mazda CX-30 over the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek or 2024 Honda HR-V.
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 is More Affordable
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 has a starting price of just $27,050. With fees included, the CX-30 starts at $29,607, while the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek starts at $31,503 and the 2024 Honda HR-V at $31,075. Thus, the CX-30 is less expensive, but it's not just about the price, it's also about what you get. For instance, the 2024 Honda HR-V comes standard with two-wheel drive. To get all-wheel drive, you'll have to pay $33,375, whereas the 2023 Mazda CX-30 includes it as standard equipment.
Compared to the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek, the CX-30 also offers more features including a larger center display, a full suite of connected services, and a more potent engine. In other words, the CX-30 doesn't just cost less, it provides more.
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 Delivers Better Performance
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 comes standard with a 2-liter four-cylinder powertrain delivering 155 hp and 150 lb-ft of torque. This is more power than what you get in the standard Subaru Crosstrek. However, what's really intriguing is the lineup of engines offered in the Mazda SUV. The CX-30 features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder SkyActiv engine that produces 191 hp in most versions, nine more horsepower than the more potent Crosstrek engine and 33 more horsepower than the standard HR-V powertrain.
Additionally, the Mazda CX-30 is offered with an available 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that generates up to 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. No other engine offered in the Crosstrek or HR-V, or in any other small SUV for that matter, comes close.
