2024 Subaru Crosstrek Versus 2023 Mazda CX-30: Three Reasons to Choose the Crosstrek

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek enters the market this year, having been fully redesigned. Offering a stiffer chassis, significant technological advancements, enhanced safety features, and remarkable versatility, the new Subaru Crosstrek delivers everything buyers want from their next sport utility vehicle. That said, the Crosstrek does face some stiff competition in this segment, notably from well-established rivals like the 2023 Mazda CX-30. While the Mazda does have much to offer, the Crosstrek outshines it when it comes to providing superior all-weather performance, better off-road capability, and more interior space. Let's delve deeper.


The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Offers Superior Versatility


One of the primary reasons that the Subaru Crosstrek has been one of the best-selling small SUVs in its class over the years is due to the remarkable interior versatility it offers. Despite its compact and agile frame, making it easy to navigate around the city or off-road, the Subaru Crosstrek has always been one of the most accommodating SUVs in its class. With over 1500 L of cargo space, the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek offers roughly 300 additional litres of space compared to the Mazda CX-30. It also provides more interior space, specifically for rear-seat passengers, as well as more headroom both in the front and back.


Better Off-road Capability


The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek features a symmetrical all-wheel-drive system that is a full-time system, recognized as one of the most advanced AWD technologies available in any brand or segment. The new Crosstrek delivers enhanced off-road capability with this advanced system and its 220 mm of ground clearance, significantly more than the CX-30. The Crosstrek also provides advanced off-road driving modes, such as X-mode with hill descent control, which makes navigating even the toughest conditions a breeze. When it comes to off-road capability, the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is significantly more agile and confident than the 2023 Mazda CX-30.


Better All-wheel-drive Performance with No Compromise on Efficiency


The advanced all-wheel-drive system in the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is continuously sending power to all four wheels, unlike the Mazda's part-time system that must detect wheel spin before adjusting torque distribution. This significant difference is apparent when driving in winter conditions or on wet roads, where the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek delivers superior stability, safety, and handling.


With either 152 hp or 182 hp available, the Crosstrek offers similar performance to the Mazda CX-30 and similar fuel efficiency, but it never compromises fuel economy. In other words, you get a superior AWD system without sacrificing performance or fuel economy. Give us a call today to learn more about the impressive new 2024 Subaru Crosstrek.
