If you want something taller, go for the CX-30. The CX-30 and Mazda3 deliver on their promise: they're both fun to drive, relatively affordable, and feel more premium than their prices suggest. That makes the compact Mazda crossover our choice – by a smidge – between the two.īut you can't go wrong with either of these vehicles, honestly. And it barely loses any of the Mazda3 hatchback's impressive dynamics and fun-to-drive nature, which we loved so much in our review. The CX-30's taller ride height and higher seating position make it a touch more comfortable on the road.
That said, we do like one a bit more than the other: the CX-30. They exist in two different segments, sure, but that doesn't mean much given they have almost the same amount of interior space. Because they're so similar (and therefore, so good) there's nothing truly definitive that sets one apart from the other. The loaded hatchback costs $28,900 before options, while the most expensive CX-30 Premium costs $29,600. All-wheel drive is $1,400 extra on both vehicles, but at the top of the range, the Mazda3 Premium is actually cheaper. But the CX-30 is actually more affordable to start, asking just $21,900 with a front-wheel-drive configuration.
A base front-wheel-drive 2020 Mazda3 hatchback costs $23,700. And both cars can hold 12.7 gallons of fuel in all-wheel-drive configurations.Īnd finally, price. The all-wheel-drive CX-30, surprisingly, is a touch better – achieving 25 mpg city, 32 highway, and 27 combined at its best. At its most efficient, the all-wheel-drive Mazda3 gets 24 miles per gallon city, 32 highway, and 27 combined. Though both cars boast the same 2.5-liter engine and six-speed automatic transmission (and in this case, optional all-wheel drive), fuel economy varies slightly.
