Compare Subcompact Crossovers near Syracuse, NY
The Mazda CX-30 sets the standard for excellence among subcompact crossovers. It delivers a class-above experience in the mainstream segment, with refined accommodations, premium features, and sophisticated style. It's also satisfying to drive thanks to its potent performance options, smooth ride, and Mazda's peerless handling dynamics.
While there is no shortage of options in the subcompact crossover segment, the Mazda CX-30 presents a compellingly satisfying and well-rounded experience that's difficult to match. To give you some examples of why the Mazda CX-30 is an appealing choice for your Syracuse-area travels, here's a look at how it measures up to three prominent class competitors: the Subaru Crosstrek, Hyundai Kona, and Honda HR-V.

Mazda CX-30 Performance
The Mazda CX-30's performance is unparalleled in most subcompact crossover competitors. The base engine is the Mazda SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 191 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. Mazda i-ACTIV® all-wheel-drive is standard across the lineup, providing surefooted traction in various conditions. Are you seeking something even more potent to propel your Clay commute? The Mazda CX-30's Carbon Turbo, 2.5 Turbo Premium, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus trim levels deliver up to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque.1
Mazda SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control helps the Mazda CX-30 deliver impressive agility. Smart suspension and chassis tuning enable sharp handling around curves and corners while neatly absorbing road imperfections for a smooth ride.
Most class competitors can't match the Mazda CX-30s handling dynamics. They're also comparatively underpowered. For example:
- Subaru Crosstrek: Standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder (152 horsepower/145 pound-feet of torque) or optional 2.5-liter four-cylinder (182 horsepower, 178 pound-feet of torque). Standard all-wheel drive
- Hyundai Kona: Standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder (147 horsepower/132 pound-feet of torque) or optional 1.6-liter turbo-four (190 horsepower/195 pound-feet of torque). Optional all-wheel drive.
- Honda HR-V: Standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder (158 horsepower/138 pound-feet of torque). Optional all-wheel drive.
Mazda CX-30 Accommodations
When it comes to refinement, the Mazda CX-30 is in a league of its own, offering an impressively upscale experience without the premium price tag. The attractive cabin exhibits a seamless, modern design, high-quality materials, and an intuitive layout that preserves the automaker's minimalist-inspired ethos without compromising accessibility. There's ample room for passengers in either row, and the seats are nicely cushioned and bolstered for long-distance comfort.
While models like the HR-V, Kona, and Crosstrek are impressively spacious for the class, they can't match the Mazda CX-30's premium feel.

Mazda CX-30 Technology
- The Mazda CX-30 comes standard with an 8.8-inch infotainment display and convenient smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Honda HR-V and Subaru Crosstrek both have 7-inch screens in their base trim.
- All turbocharged Mazda CX-30 models include a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration. The Honda HR-V offers a 9-inch display and wireless connectivity, but only in its highest trim. The Kona comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, but SEL Convenience and higher tiers remove wireless capability.
- The Mazda CX-30 comes standard with Radar Cruise Control, while the Kona only includes it in higher tiers.
- The Mazda CX-30 offers several technologies that are typically absent in competitors' rosters. Examples include a head-up display, driver-position memory, and a 360-degree camera system (available in Kona).
