2025 Mazda CX-30 vs. 2025 Subaru Crosstrek

The 2025 Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact SUV that has everything a driver could want. Exciting performance, powerful acceleration, and high-end curb appeal are this model’s stock and trade. And like every Mazda model at Med Center Mazda, the 2025 Mazda CX-30 boasts the most advanced safety and infotainment tech. So how does it compare to rivals such as the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek? Let’s compare these models side by side.

Performance

The 2025 Mazda CX-30 is the kind of SUV that people love driving. Its two engine options are a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that outputs 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, and an upgraded 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Both are complemented by performance enhancements such as i-Activ AWD® and G-Vectoring Control Plus.

The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek also offers a comfortable, controlled ride. However, both of its engines – a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that achieves 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that outputs 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque – are considerably less powerful than the engines offered by the new Mazda SUV.

Interior

The interior is another area where some noticeable differences exist between these two models. The cabin of the 2025 Mazda CX-30 is exceptionally crafted and integrates high-end materials and surfaces throughout. Its seats are very comfortable, and from the steering wheel to the infotainment system, everything is easily operable.

The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek has a well-earned reputation for off-road capability. The trade-off is that this SUV doesn’t invest in cabin comfort and ergonomics to the same level as the Mazda CX-30.

Trim Lineup

Every model at our Pelham, AL, Mazda dealership comes in a wide range of trims. For the 2025 Mazda CX-30, there are eight choices. By contrast, the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek comes in five trims. This is a common theme when comparing Mazda models to their competitors – in virtually every case, Mazda USA offers more trims per model. These extra trims let drivers choose the exact model to match their lifestyle, whether you’re looking for luxury, capability, or a blend of the two.
