Subaru Crosstrek
The Mazda CX-30 provides more power than the Subaru Crosstrek, offering a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine that creates 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque compared to just 182 horsepower. The Mazda CX-30 focuses on a refined, engaging drive above all else, while the Subaru Crosstrek is more tuned for outdoor exploration.
The new Mazda vehicle stands out further with a premium cabin that features available Nappa leather seats and a 12-speaker Bose® audio system. It emphasizes pure luxury and driver comfort, compared to the pure practicality of the Subaru Crosstrek cabin.
Honda HR-V
Another vehicle that’s often compared to the Mazda CX-30 is the Honda HR-V. The Mazda CX-30 delivers a turbopowered drive, while the Honda HR-V lags with a less powerful engine and a continuously variable transmission. Overall, the Mazda CX-30 has sportier driving dynamics and puts you in more control over gear changing.
The Mazda CX-30 also has more standard interior equipment, featuring an 8.8-inch touchscreen that can be upgraded to a 10.25-inch version. The Honda HR-V only has a 7-inch screen and doesn’t offer the available head-up display that the Mazda model does.
Ford Escape
The 2025 Mazda CX-30 bests the Ford Escape with a more upscale cabin and premium styling. You’ll get i-Activ AWD® as standard no matter which trim you select, while all-wheel drive requires an upgrade on the Ford Escape. Both vehicles have a turbocharged engine, but the extra cylinder in the Mazda CX-30 provides more power.
Inside, there are several options in the Mazda SUV that you can’t find on the Ford Escape, like Nappa leather and heated seats. The Mazda CX-30 also has a much bigger infotainment system than the Ford Escape, allowing quick access to important information.
