Both are excellent choices, but they represent the opposite ends of the spectrum. If reliable utility and cost (short and long term) ate what is most important, the HRV wins hands down. If performance and luxury are more important, the CX-30 wins. It isn't a question of which is better, but a question of what YOU WANT.
The HR-V has the typical stodgy, uninspired Honda styling, & Honda has slipped a lot in reliability/quality over the last decade+. Love my 2022 Mazda CX-30 CE. Best small crossover available in the US/NA market at anywhere near its price point IMO. The latest gen HR-V also has had issues with usages of the rear defroster causing the rear windshield to shatter spontaneously at some point.
Far too many advantages for the CX-30. It's going to have a higher OTD price across all trims but you're getting your moneys worth out of it. I would top out at the carbon edition however. Having the turbo option is nice but not necessary. The base 2.5L 191HP engine has plenty to it & is more than enough for most people. Especially compared to the laughable engine the HR-V has across all of its trims.
Mazda CX 30 has the (WORST) infotainment system in the auto industry hands down, that rotary/dial knob is so OUTDATED. Touchscreen needed, Honda wins this comparison.......
We will have to agree to disagree on that. Screw giant, ugly, distracting touchscreens that are awkwardly placed on the dash & such - especially the ones that also control vital vehicle functions that should have physical buttons instead. Love my 2022 CX-30 CE.
in actual usage, 99% of the time youd only be using it for music or navigation. the darn thing is perfectly located plus i didnt have to smudge it up with fingerprints. the controls are pretty handy (aside from the dial, theres a shortcut to the most used features on carplay). for the 1% where you have to update certain settings... yeah its a bit of a pain to navigate.
I was about to get a Mazda cause it sounds like a solid choice for the price, then...wait! what? It doesn't have a touch screen? I bought Honda hr-v instead 😅
@@bohoj_beauty I like the Mazda setup better than a distracting & oversized touchscreen, but to each their own I suppose. Good luck with modern-day Honda quality (& their generic, uninspired styling).

Well said.
Mazda CX30 trounces the HRV in drive train, interior styling and exterior styling.
Thank you! This guy is clearly a Honda lover he is biased.

The Honda is a soulless plastic toy next to the Mazda.
Look if you think there’s not enough cargo space in the Mazda then buy a midsize S.U.V.
You used words that describe Mazda interior for Honda, Honda’s interior looks cheap and childish.
Paradossalmente esteticamente meglio la cx-30 seppur datata rispetto alle hr-v.........😂😂😂

It's simple and easy to operate on all levels.
