Three ways the 2021 Mazda CX-30 stands out from the 2021 Toyota C-HR

The 2021 Mazda CX-30 arrived on the market last year, and it quickly stood out in its segment with its impressive styling along with dynamic and powerful engines. The Mazda CX-30 is a new take on the small SUV and it has competitors noticing. 


The 2021 Mazda CX-30 offers a comprehensive lineup of powertrains and engines, impressive versatility, great safety technology, and a truly unique driving experience where buyers who like to drive are certain to enjoy every second.  That said, the 2021 Mazda CX-30 does have some tough competition, namely in the form of the Toyota C-HR. Here is how the 2021 Mazda CX-30 stands out against its rival from Toyota.


A lot more performance


The 2021 Mazda CX-30 offers the largest and most powerful lineup of engines in this segment, by far. The base engine in the CX-30 delivers 155 horsepower, which is already more than the Toyota C-HR base engine which delivers 144 horsepower. From there, the 2021 Mazda CX-30 can feature a 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 186 horsepower along with 186 pound-feet of torque. And there's also a new 2.5 L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that offers an impressive 250 horsepower. No doubt about it, the Mazda CX-30 has a lot better performance.

 

 A lot more space


It also delivers more interior space. You will notice it in the backseat, but where you will truly notice it is with the cargo space. The 2021 Mazda CX-30 offers up to 1,300 L of total cargo space compared to just over 1,000 L for the Toyota C-HR.


 A lot more traction


Last but certainly not least, especially for buyers here in Quebec, is the fact that the Toyota C-HR does not offer all-wheel drive. This is a big disadvantage in the winter, and not what you want from your SUV. The Mazda CX-30 has an available i-ACTIV all-wheel drive system which really shines when the road gets slippery.
