2020 Subaru Crosstrek vs. 2019 Mazda CX-3
Introducing the stop-start function via its CVT model engines, the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek indeed promises a lot in terms of performance. It is a comfortable ride with user-friendly functionalities to look forward to as well.
As for the 2019 Mazda CX-3, you will notice a slight style revamp in the exterior. Add to that, it has some increase in horsepower for its engine performance.
Design & Style
A modern car with a sporty twist, the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek knows how to impress in terms of design and style. Aside from having a good cargo capacity, it has a well-built cabin to be proud of too. Seating up to five people, the interior has been built in such a way that the driver won’t have visibility problems at any angle. There is a solid amount of legroom at the rear seats as well, and all in all, the ride is comfortable.
The 2019 Mazda CX-3 sure looks appealing on the outside. Inside this car, though, it is noticeable that the car only uses cloth upholstery on its seats. The cabin looks modern, though, somehow giving a great vibe to it. It lacks cargo space though.
Technology & Safety
Gifted with a 6.5-inch touch screen for its Starlink infotainment system, the Subaru Crosstrek is every inch impressive when it comes to technologies. It is also equipped with a four-speaker stereo, and a Bluetooth interface. It is fascinating to note that it also supports smartphone integration, both via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It has a rearview camera as a standard with a long list of available driver aids like lane change assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and lane keep assist, among others.
When it comes to the 2019 Mazda CX-3, you will find the Mazda Connect infotainment system which has a seven-inch touchscreen display. This also comes fitted with a console-mounted knob, internet streaming services, and Bluetooth. It does not offer support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though. It also takes time learning its infotainment setup. Safety features include a rearview camera, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking.
Performance
When mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the four-cylinder engine in the Subaru Crosstrek hits up to 152 horsepower. Under the hood of the 2019 Mazda CX-3, there is a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine that allows it to produce up to as much as 148 horsepower. This means that the Crosstrek is a better choice over the CX-3.
The Bottom Line
There are a lot of reasons to love the Subaru Crosstrek. That is evident with its design and style as well as the list of technology and safety features that it offers. This car has an engine that is more powerful than that of the Kona as well. It wins this battle, no questions asked.
