When it comes to choosing the perfect subcompact SUV, the Chevrolet Trax and Mazda CX-30 are two top contenders. But which one truly delivers the best combination of style, comfort, technology, and capability? Let's take a closer look at how these two crossovers stack up against each other.
Exterior Design: Chevy Trax Brings the Rugged Good Looks
Trax Exterior Highlights
The Trax's sporty persona starts with its aggressive front fascia, sleek LED lighting, and dynamic character lines that flow from front to rear. Roof rails and an available hands-free liftgate add extra functionality. And with its tall ride height and confident stance, the Trax looks ready to take on any adventure, whether you're cruising around Boonton or heading off the beaten path.
Mazda CX-30 Exterior: Minimalist Elegance
In contrast to the Trax's bold styling, the Mazda CX-30 takes a more understated approach with its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic. While still attractive, it lacks the Trax's visual punch and rugged personality.
Interior Comfort and Quality: Trax Takes the Lead
Upscale Trax Interior
You and your passengers will love the Trax's supportive front bucket seats, available in two-tone cloth with leatherette trim for a touch of class. Thoughtful details abound, like the wrap-around dash design, metallic accents, and clever storage cubbies throughout. And on LT and higher trims, an 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar ensures customized support, even on long drives to Parsippany or Wayne, NJ.
Mazda CX-30 Interior: Plain and Simple
The CX-30's interior, while well-built, lacks the Trax's upscale look and feel. On entry-level models, hard plastics are more prevalent, and comfort is average. We will admit that the CX-30 offers a plethora of upgrades like premium leather seats, but the price skyrockets as those amenities add up.
Infotainment and Safety Tech: Trax Dominates
Trax Technology Highlights
The star of the show is the Trax's huge 11-inch diagonal HD color touchscreen, standard on most trims. It features a brilliant display, lightning-fast response, and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ for seamless smartphone integration. Available built-in Alexa, 4G LTE Wi-Fi, and a Bose 7-speaker audio system round out the impressive tech offerings. You'll have no trouble staying connected and entertained on trips to Dover, NJ. On the safety front, Chevy Safety Assist is standard, bundling six advanced driver assistance technologies.
Mazda CX-30 Tech Lags Behind
The CX-30 has an available 10.25-inch center display and Alexa built-in for a little more convenience. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ won't make a standard appearance until you reach higher trim levels. Advanced safety aids, like adaptive front lighting, are available as package or trim upgrades.
