Performance

When you test drive the 2021 Mazda CX-5 and the Mazda CX-30, you will notice that these models are both offered with two same gas powertrains. The base engine is a four-cylinder, Skyactiv®-G 2.5-liter engine that puts out 187 horsepower for both models. The higher-level engine in both models incorporates Dynamic Pressure tech into the same 2.5-liter engine to produce 227 horsepower.

Appearance

The Mazda CX-5 and the Mazda CX-30 have numerous shared design traits and a few unique elements that give them individuality. For example, they both have a flat nose, and the sharply angled headlights are linked to a chrome-accented grille. They also share a sleek hood design with undulating curves across the sides. Comparatively, the 2021 Mazda CX-30 has thicker molding from bumper to bumper and leaner headlights.

Features

There are also differences inside their cabins. The Mazda CX-30’s dashboard design is flowing and contemporary. The center stack is slightly angled toward the driver. It has a floating display screen and a sleek, low-profile design for the climate management system’s controls. The Mazda CX-5 also has a flowing design, but the center stack stands straight. In addition, the controls for the climate management system are well-defined. On a trim-by-trim basis, you will find many of the same shared features in these models. These include a sound system, leather material, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, smart device integration, and more.
