2018 Mazda CX-3 VS 2018 Subaru Crosstrek: Design

The handsome Mazda CX-3 embodies the Mazda KODO design philosophy: Clean, sweeping lines that provide a sense of motion — even at a complete standstill. With a long hood, sloping roofline and available ultra-premium paint finishes, the 2018 Mazda CX-3 offers a look like no other. Step inside and the Mazda CX-3 continues to impress, offering a larger standard infotainment touch screen and a six-speaker standard audio system that the base 2018 Subaru Crosstrek can't compete with. It also knows a handy trick, increasing and decreasing volume dynamically based on your speed. As the road noise gets louder, so does your music or your favorite radio broadcast — automatically. The Crosstrek can't be equipped with speed sensitive volume.

2018 Mazda CX-3 VS 2018 Subaru Crosstrek: Performance

Technically, the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek generates a handful more horsepower than the 2018 Mazda CX-3. It also weighs at least 300 pounds more — meaning the Mazda CX-3 is quicker to 60 MPH from zero than the Crosstrek by a full second, according to tests performed by Car and Driver magazine. That publication also raved about the handling experience of the 2018 Mazda CX-3. At the helm, you too will discover, “Its fun-to-drive character ... composed of many elements, including a lively chassis, well-controlled body roll, and masterful suspension tuning that walks the fine line between firm and too firm.”

2018 Mazda CX-3 VS 2018 Subaru Crosstrek: Safety

With Smart City Brake Support, you'll get an automatic pre-collision braking system standard on every 2018 Mazda CX-3. The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek requires you to add an expensive option package and trim upgrade for this crucial safety feature. What's more, in crash tests carried out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Mazda CX-3 received a perfect 5-star frontal crash safety rating. The Crosstrek received only 4 stars. And with even more active safety systems available on the 2018 Mazda CX-3 — including rear cross traffic alert and advanced blind spot monitoring — it'll help you to avoid accidents before they can happen.
