2022 Mazda CX-30 vs. 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross : When Performance and Style Matter

The Mazda CX-30 pushes the boundaries of the segment with superior style, enhanced infotainment technologies and performance that rivals can’t even get close to. When you choose the CX-30, you get everything Mazda has to offer in terms of driving dynamics and a compact, yet versatile package that will keep your family safe on the road.

Here, we compare the 2022 Mazda CX-30 with the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross.

The 2022 Mazda CX-30 provides inspiration on the road

All Mazda CX-30 are powerful and efficient. The first choice is a four-cylinder, 2.0-litre unit that boasts 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque in the base CX-30. Next, drivers can choose the 2.5-litre engine with 186 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque that provides a great balance between power and efficiency.

The turbocharged 2.5-litre engine was also recently introduced in the lineup, leaving every competitor in the dust. It provides up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of pavement-ripping torque.

All engines are paired with Mazda’s 6-speed automatic transmission, which in turn feeds i-Activ AWD system, which is standard on all CX-30s. All 2022 CX-30 models also feature G-Vectoring Control Plus for improved cornering performance.

The Toyota Corolla Cross only has one engine. Its four-cylinder 2.0-litre engine only outputs 169 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. This is inferior when compared to most CX-30 models in terms of output, but also in terms of choice.

The Toyota Corolla Cross uses a continuously variable transmission, which is much less dynamic when compared to the CX-30’s six-speed unit.

The 2022 Mazda CX-30 is more technologically advanced, and more stylish

For 2022, the CX-30 gets a number of enhancements made to give the driver and passengers the best in terms of experience. For example, the GT trim gets a new Advanced Visibility Package, which includes a 360-degree View Monitor, front parking sensors and Traffic Jam Assist.

The CX-30’s interior is crafted using superior textures and materials commonly found in premium and luxury vehicles. The Toyota Corolla Cross uses much more basic elements and budget-oriented textures.
