2019 Mazda CX-3 vs. 2019 Subaru Crosstrek

A crossover SUV should deliver a strong balance between the efficiency of a car and the capability of an SUV. When it comes to fuel economy, the 2019 Mazda CX-3 is the clear winner:

• 2019 Mazda CX-3 Sport
  • 29 mpg city
  • 34 mpg highway
  • 31 mpg combined
• 2019 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i
  • 27 mpg city
  • 33 mpg highway
  • 25 mpg combined

That kind of efficiency allows for savings at Kings Mountain gas stations for years to come, and it’s a hallmark of Mazda SUVs.

Whether your next crossover is intended for commuting to work in Shelby or conquering the great outdoors, the interior should keep you comfortable on the journey. A highlight in 2019 Mazda CX-3 reviews, the interior offers a number of standard features you won’t find with the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek:

• 6-Speaker Audio System
• Glovebox Lighting
• Rear Armrest

Safety

While both Mazda and Subaru have strong reputations for safety, the Mazda CX-3 has one important standard feature not shared with the Crosstrek. It includes Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. This high tech feature notifies you if a vehicle is hovering in your blind spot. In addition, if you’re backing out of a parking spot, it signals if you’re in danger of a collision. It’s just another way Mazda innovation is improving peace of mind with the i-ACTIVSENSE® safety system.
