Crossovers are the best of both worlds, blending the athleticism of a sedan with the spaciousness of an SUV. It’s no surprise you want to take to the Livonia and Dearborn, MI streets in the driver’s seat of one. But which model will you choose?
Two of the top contenders in their class are the Mazda CX-30 and the Subaru Crosstrek. Your friends at LaFontaine Mazda Livonia are here to show you how they stack up against each other.

Want a blend of stealth and strength in your next SUV? If so, you’ll fall in love with the capabilities of the Mazda CX-30 and the Subaru Crosstrek. Due to their similar handling technologies, drivers will experience the roads in identical ways; however, the Mazda offers the more powerful drive.
With the nimble body style of a crossover, you’ll be able to zip through traffic with total ease, and the right blend of power can help you do it smoothly. In the Mazda CX-30, you’ll have your choice between two refined yet powerful powertrains:
- Skyactiv®-G 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine: 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque
- Skyactiv®-G 2.5-liter turbo engine: 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque
You’ll notice a difference in performance when you hop behind the wheel of the Subaru Crosstrek, since the standard motor only generates 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. For a little more pep, you can upgrade to the Subaru’s available engine. Then again, with only 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, it still falls short of even the baseline power of the Mazda CX-30.
When comparing handling, you’ll experience similar performances in the Mazda CX-30 and the Subaru Crosstrek. Both models provide automatic transmissions.
Both vehicles are also all-terrain capable. The Mazda CX-30 sports i-Activ AWD® with Off-road Traction Assist, while the Subaru equips Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
Interested in a commute with added power, entertainment, and security? If so, then you’ll want to choose the Mazda CX-30 over the Subaru Crosstrek.
