Mazda CX-30 is now an option in the medium class SUV. This class is quite busy with players, especially from Japanese brands that attract consumers' hearts.
Mazda has pinned various advantages, uniqueness and greatness to the CX-30 which was officially launched in early 2020 in Indonesia. Of course, this is for the sake of competing with its competitors.
In this class, one of its competitors, the Honda HR-V Prestige, is one of the most competitive. With a variety of features and an attractive price, you could say that the HR-V Prestige is still difficult for Mazda Indonesia to catch up with.
Of course, because the compact SUV with the H logo has been around for a long time, the CX-30 is new to its age. But the opportunity is of course still there.
For those of you who are still confused about choosing the CX-30 or HR-V Prestige, then read the following article until the end. We will compare these two cars from various sides.
Exterior
You could say that both of them have quite different exterior design characters. Although both are oriented towards SUV design principles, it seems that the CX-30 has more character.
The design language of KODO that is proud of Mazda is able to provide an aura of elegance, luxury as well as sportiness to the exterior of the CX-30. While the Honda HR-V Prestige seems more dynamic and still less elegant.
Especially in the HR-V family, there is almost no difference in shape. The sign that HR-V Prestige is the highest and most expensive caste in his family is the presence of the sunroof who saw him have to gaze at the roof.
Speaking of sunroof, of course Mazda has also provided these features to the CX-30. So it makes Mazda's new hero even thicker with his luxurious aura. At the same time, the two passengers and the driver of these two cars are spoiled to enjoy the top panorama with these features.
But when it comes to dimensions, the CX-30 is one that is straightforward. Its dimensions are bigger than HR-V Prestige. Mazda's latest crossover is 101 mm longer, 23 mm wider and 40 mm lower than the Prestige HR-V. Likewise the wheelbase, the CX-30 is 45 mm longer than the HR-V Prestige.
Interior
Again, you have to say the CX-30 is superior. In terms of interior, the HR-V Prestige also uses leather, but in detail and overall it is still less luxurious than the CX-30.
For the bench setting alone, the HR-V Prestige also lost. Because Honda is still providing it with manual settings on all seats.
Another case with the CX-30, the front seat can be adjusted electrically. The driver's seat can be set in 10 different positions and your favorite configuration can be stored in memory.
Although these features can already be obtained in the lower variant of the CX-30, they are only found in the driver's seat. The front passenger seat is still manually adjusted.
For entertainment, Mazda provides the CX-30 with a touch screen measuring 8.8 inches. That means it is slightly larger than the HR-V which is only 8 inches. But both of them can be connected to smartphones.
Safety Features
In the supporting sector, safety is also an important point in this comparison. It's actually a bit difficult for the HR-V Prestige to match the safety features of this new enemy.
Because Mazda has equipped this new car with I-Activsense technology. In this technology there are features of the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) and Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM).
These high-tech features practically make the HR-V Prestige look outdated. Honda equips the car with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) and the G-CON + ACE ™ body frame structure.
For airbags, the CX-30's cabin is spread over the Dual front, curtain & side and driver side knees. More or less similar to the HR-V Prestige in the Dual Front, side and side curtain.
Machine
The engine sector is quite interesting to kidnap. Mazda CX-30 can re-emphasize its fangs in the kitchen runway sector. Because in terms of capacity, the advantages are clear.
The CX-30 runway uses Skyactive-G technology with a cubication of 1,998 cc. The engine, which is rounded off to 2,000 cc, is powered by 155 ps with 200 Nm of torque.
While the HR-V Prestige engine capacity is lower. Honda equips this car with an engine with I-VTEC technology and a net capacity of 1,799 cc. Its power is certainly lower than the CX-30 engine, only powering 139 ps with 169 Nm of torque.
But what you need to know, because the CX-30's engine capacity is bigger, of course, the tax that must be paid is also greater than the Prestige HR-V.
Conclusion
The two are indeed a bit far apart when juxtaposed in a number of aspects. But like it or not, you have to compete because you have the same class. Of course, the HR-V Prestige is superior in terms of a more economical price.
This means that when choosing a compact SUV, funds are still an important aspect, then the HR-V Prestige is the right choice. Because consumers who choose the Mazda CX-30 should pursue more satisfaction and product quality without thinking about funds.
