MAZDA CX-30 vs Honda HR-V
As a driver, you’ll want to address your needs when buying a car. You may want to have room for your passengers to be comfortable. You may also need more space to fit the items you want to bring along without driving a larger vehicle. A crossover SUV can be the right choice for you.
Here at Crater Lake Mazda, we’ll show you two great examples in the Mazda CX-30 and the Honda HR-V. Read on to get to know how these vehicles can help you on the roads of Medford, Grants Pass, and Central Point, OR.

Performance is an important characteristic for drivers. You want to have a ride that’s always ready for the road and provides the capabilities to take you anywhere you want to go.
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 offers two engines, each boasting impressive outputs:
- Skyactiv®-G 2.5 4-cylinder engine: 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque
- Available Skyactiv®-G 2.5 Turbo engine: 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque
On the other hand, the Honda HR-V only offers one powertrain: a 4-cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. So, if you’re looking to experience a more dynamic ride, the Mazda CX-30 is the model for you.
The Mazda CX-30 also includes i-Activ AWD® with Off-road Traction Assist on all trims to provide more confidence for your off-road adventures. You can experience the HR-V's Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ with a trim level upgrade. However, even after doing so, you may not experience strong, stable footing with the Honda, as it doesn’t offer similar off-road functionality.
Technology matters to many drivers who want a full sensory experience on the road. This means having the ability to find your favorite tunes and access all the information you need.
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 comes with a standard 8.8-inch infotainment system display. It includes Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration, allowing you to pair your device and access everything from music and shows to navigation.
The Honda HR-V also shares these smartphone integrations, meaning you can boot up your favorite playlists and podcasts as you cruise. However, you may find it easier to navigate infotainment apps in the Mazda since the Honda’s standard display is only seven inches.
The infotainment systems in either SUV can be controlled by touch. However, the Mazda CX-30 also allows drivers to take command with their voice or with a Multifunction Commander control.
The latter feature is an ergonomic dial conveniently placed within reach, so before you drive, you can scroll your infotainment screen with little effort. As you’re driving, make use of the voice command feature to command your Mazda CX-30 and remain attuned to the road.
Unfortunately, the Honda HR-V goes without these tools.
Your vehicle needs to help keep you safe and sound on the road so you can enjoy your journeys and reach your destination. Both models are prepared with driver-assistance suites.
The 2023 Mazda CX-30 comes with safety features including:
- Smart Brake Support
- Lane Departure Warning System
- Lane-keep Assist
- Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go
- High Beam Control and more!
On the other hand, the 2023 Honda HR-V's comparable HondaSensing® technology offers near-matching systems to those found on the Mazda CX-30.
A feature unique to the Mazda CX-30 is Driver Attention Alert. This intelligent system uses forward-facing sensors that keep an eye out for distracted or drowsy behavior. If detected, this system will alert you to take a break or switch drivers if possible.
Without a similar feature in the HR-V, you’ll need to know your own limits, especially during long-distance drives.
Now that you know more about the 2023 Mazda CX-30 and how it compares to the Honda HR-V, it’s time to make your choice. To see the Mazda CX-30 up close, you can visit us at Crater Lake Mazda and take it for a test drive.
