2023 Mazda CX-30 vs. 2023 Chevrolet Equinox 

When comparing the 2023 Mazda CX-30 to the 2023 Chevy Equinox, there are a plethora of reasons why the Mazda is the superior choice. From more performance and efficiency to a more premium interior to enjoy, the CX-30 comes out on top in so many ways. For mid-Michigan drivers who want the best driving experience possible when looking at accessible crossover SUVs, the CX-30 should always be a top consideration.   

Performance 

Performance-wise, the 2023 Mazda CX-30 has the upper hand. Its 2.5L SKYACTIV®-G four-cylinder engine delivers 191 horsepower, making it more powerful than the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox and the 175 horsepower its turbocharged four-cylinder offers. Additionally, the CX-30's standard AWD system provides superior handling and control in all weather conditions. Meanwhile, the Equinox comes with standard FWD and has AWD available on select trims. Not only does the CX-30 have more performance and better AWD handling, but it is also more efficient overall than even the standard Equinox with FWD.  

Interior Features 

In terms of interior features, both the CX-30 and Equinox offer comfortable and spacious cabins, with the CX-30 having a more upscale feel. Not only does the CX-30 feature a more upscale interior, but it also comes with a substantially more impressive multimedia system as a standard inclusion. Its 8.8-inch display makes accessing all the various menus from the MAZDA CONNECT system quick and easy. Meanwhile, the Equinox comes with a smaller seven-inch display as its standard implementation. Both vehicles feature smartphone connection applications such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth®. They also boast integrated Wi-Fi® hotspots as a standard feature for Internet-capable devices to stay connected all over Michigan.  

Safety Features 

Both the CX-30 and Equinox have impressive safety features. The CX-30 comes with Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Driver Attention Alert system, while both vehicles offer a suite of safety features including automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning. However, the CX-30's safety features are more advanced and intuitive. Add on the standard AWD platform the CX-30 rides on, and the result is a crossover SUV that excels in being a reliable all-season family cruiser in mid-Michigan.
