Small crossover comparo: Honda HR-V vs. Mazda CX-30

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) has officially brought in the all-new HR-V. With its striking look and state-of-the-art features, will it stand out in the ever-developing crossover segment?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What powers the Honda HR-V?

    The Honda HR-V is powered by a 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo engine mated to a continuously variable transmission.
  • What powers the Mazda CX-30?

    The Mazda CX-30 is powered by a 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine paired with a Skyactiv-Drive six-speed transmission.
  • Another noteworthy Japanese contender in this segment is the Mazda CX-30, which boasts a slew of driver assistance systems and advanced safety features. It comes standard with I-Activsense which includes radar cruise control, smart brake support, front-cross traffic alert, driver monitoring system, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring.

    Meanwhile, the HR-V is equipped with Honda Sensing, a suite of advanced safety features that includes collision mitigation braking system, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist system, road departure mitigation system with lane departure warning, auto high-beam, and lead car departure notification system.

    The Honda HR-V is powered by a 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while the Mazda CX-30 is powered by a 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine paired with a Skyactiv-Drive six-speed transmission.
