2020 Mazda CX-30 vs. 2020 Hyundai Venue

The Mazda CX-30 makes its introduction in the 2020 model year with features that are making waves in the subcompact SUV marketplace. The CX-30 is winning admirers across the country each day with its outstanding power, performance and capabilities. Since this is a brand-new vehicle, it is easier to illustrate its potential by comparing it to the competition. Here, we choose the Hyundai Venue and line up both vehicles in several important categories.

The groundbreaking CX-30 begins with exterior dimensions that support better performance, interior volume, and advanced design. The overall length of 4,395 mm includes a wheelbase of 2,652 mm and a height of 1,568. The Venue has respective dimensions of 4,040, 2,520, and 1,565 mm. These smaller measurements can’t provide a robust platform that beats the CX-30’s volume and other amenities.  

The 2020 Mazda CX-30’s power steals the show

Under the hood, two exciting engine options lead the charge for the CX-30. The GX trim is well-equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 155 hp and 150 lb-ft of torque. This engine can send the power to the front wheels or all four wheels. The GS and GT trims include a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that races to 186 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. The Hyundai Venue falls short with its 1.6L four-cylinder engine that only produces 121 hp and 113 lb-ft of torque, this is a considerable drop in power.

Every CX-30 is equipped better to handle Canada’s seasons and road conditions with standard AWD on the GT model (optional elsewhere). AWD is not available in the Hyundai Venue lineup, which limits your road surface driving and decreases safety.  The CX-30 incorporates Mazda’s i-Active AWD technology to deliver torque where it’s needed. This makes driving more fun on dry road surfaces and safer when conditions turn slick. Overall, the CX-30 is the top performer in this comparison.     

The 2020 Mazda CX-30 adapts to your lifestyle

Whether you enjoy camping, beach parties, sport outings and more, the CX-30 will transport your lifestyle using its roomy cargo volume. The CX-30 provides 1,280 litres of capacity behind the front row, surpassing the Venue’s capacity by 132 litres. That’s plenty of room for many activities with extra storage.  When the rear seats are up, the CX-30 offers 217 more litres of storage in the rear.
