2023 Mazda CX-30 vs. 2023 Honda HR-V: The CX-30 is More Powerful in Every Way
August 22 2022,
Mazda is taking crossover drivability to new levels with the CX-30, a boldly uniquely stylish vehicle that will take you anywhere with maximum efficiency. It's rare to see so many capabilities in a subcompact package.
Even though the segment is very popular and very dynamic, most automakers still see it strictly as budget-oriented and entry-level. While the CX-30 is very affordable, there’s nothing entry-level about it. To illustrate, we line up the 2023 CX-30 to the 2023 Honda HR-V.
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 delivers better performance
The CX-30, like every Mazda vehicle in the catalogue offers ultimate performance with multiple levels of driving excitement. For starters, the 2.0L four-cylinder powers base models with a solid 155 horsepower. For a little bit more power, buyers can choose the 2.5L four-cylinder that generates 186 horsepower.
Performance enthusiasts will be delighted to know that the CX-30 is available with a turbocharged 2.5-litre that produces up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. All engine options promise to deliver response and fun in many situations.
The HR-V falls far behind in powertrain capability. With only a 2.0L, four-cylinder that peaks at 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft. This one doesn’t have the same response and drivability as the CX-30.
The CX-30 includes a six-speed automatic with manual shift mode and drive selection switch. Each HR-V has a CVT, which offers less personalized driving inputs and feels much more elastic on the road.
Each CX-30 trim offers standard i-Activ AWD. This system is superior to others in the segment because it can read the road as you are driving to provide the best parameters for every surface. The HR-V comes with a less capable FWD system standard, with optional AWD.
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 provides more refinement
Outside, the CX-30 carries the signature Mazda styling everyone loves. But it is also more than impressive with its interior features. It uses only the best materials and textures to provide a superior driving environment. The HR-V is much more basic and much less comfortable.
