Compare The Mazda CX-3 Versus The Honda HR-V

Crossovers are popular in today's marketplace and for good reason. They have the small body that drivers around Orange Park and Gainesville love with the capabilities and space that drivers of every lifestyle crave. If you're in the Jacksonville area and you're looking for a crossover SUV, you have most likely come across quite a few that match your preferences and needs, but which one should you choose?

Here at Mazda City of Orange Park, we recommend the Mazda CX-3. This crossover combines everything you want in a vehicle: style, a commanding powertrain presence, and technological features that make your drive that much easier. That being said, the Mazda CX-3 does have its fair share of competitors, including the Honda HR-V. So, how do these two stunning crossovers compare? Read below to find out.

Price And Options

While the Honda HR-V has more trim levels available, with five compared to the Mazda version's three, drivers will find that the Mazda CX-3 is more affordable while offering the same comparable features. The base trims are only a few hundred dollars difference, but the top tiers reach into the thousands. This means you'll spend less on an equal number of features and powertrain options when you buy the Mazda CX-3.

Powertrain And All-Wheel Drive

Both models only offer one engine option as well as the opportunity to add all-wheel drive to any trim level, if you so desire. The Mazda CX-3 comes with a 2.0-liter I-4 engine that out-performs the Honda HR-V's 1.8-liter I-4 in both horsepower and pounds-feet of torque. You'll also find that the Mazda version offers better fuel-efficiency.

Added Features And Tech

While both crossovers come with a long-list of included or available features, amenities, and technological programs, the Mazda CX-3 has more of a standard offering. Such features as Keyless Start, Onboard Hands-Free Communications System, and Integrated Turn Signal Mirrors all come standard in the base trim of the CX-3 while the Honda model doesn't even have them as an option. In the higher trims, you'll see more added into the Honda HR-V, but that list doesn't include the Heads-Up Display found in the Mazda CX-3.

As far as safety programs go, the Mazda CX-3 is packed with standard programs, even on the base trim. From the included Blind Spot Monitoring and Cross-Traffic Alert to the optional Auto-Leveling Headlights and Lane Departure Warning, your base model will have everything you need while none of these are an option until you pay more for a higher trim in the Honda HR-V.
