2020 Mazda CX-30 vs. 2020 Hyundai Kona: Which One Should You Buy?

Automakers crank out subcompact crossovers by the bushel, but you can’t accuse them of copying each other. Proof: the Mazda CX-30 and Hyundai Kona.

I've got to say Cx30 all the way . ESPECIALLY
As I have one arriving next week ???

odd they should say it's similar in size as the Kona is much smaller (164") than the CX-30 (173") - that's quite a difference! The Kona is about the same size as the Kia Soul.
The all new Kia Seltos and Nissan Qashqai is a better direct comparison to the CX-30.

Design has been a big motivator for me with driving feel as the runner up.

In that case, Mazda is the winner... by a land slide.

If you don't care about that, which is completely fine, buy the Kona. Its actually a decent SUV.

Not in the same class, in my opinion

looked at one a few days ago (Preferred FWD version), just looked through the window and saw the dash and interior and walked-away - the Venue has a better dash set-up.

I test drove a Kona... overall it's a great car, but I didn't like the dual clutch trans and the rear cargo area seemed too small for me. It also lacked a spare tire.

I really like the design of the Venue, but I think it's even smaller than the Kona. It would probably be a great city car.

Also test drove a Tuscon, which may be slightly bigger than the cx-30. Nice car but a little dull compared with the others.
