Mazda CX-30 vs Toyota Corolla Cross
A subcompact SUV that does not split its lineup by drivetrain: i-ACTIV AWD® is standard on every trim, gas engine either way. This page sets the CX-30’s sourced specifications beside another subcompact SUV shoppers cross-shop it against, one row at a time, with the source and the model year named on every row.
Mazda CX-30 vs Toyota Corolla Cross
The CX-30 makes i-ACTIV AWD® standard on every trim with no upcharge; the Toyota Corolla Cross is front-wheel drive as standard on its gas trims with all-wheel drive optional, and makes all-wheel drive standard on its Hybrid trims. The CX-30’s 2.5 Turbo also carries the higher of the two maximum horsepower figures. Each row below names its source and the model year that source describes.
Every row above names its source and the model year that source describes; verification of a comparison is the dealer’s responsibility. Competitor figures are that manufacturer’s own published specifications for the model year shown. Rows the CX-30 does not lead are recorded in our research and are not published here, and no price row appears at all — competitor MSRPs are published excluding destination while Mazda’s include it, so no like-for-like price comparison exists.
The Mazda CX-30 in Mobile, AL
One Drivetrain Decision, Across the Whole Range
The 2026 CX-30 does not divide its lineup by drivetrain: i-ACTIV AWD® is standard on all of it, so which trim you choose is a question of equipment rather than of which wheels are driven. That is the first row of the comparison above. The second is the top of the engine range — 250 hp from the 2.5 Turbo on premium fuel, against 186 hp for the 2.5-liter that opens it.
How to Read This Comparison
Every figure in the table above carries a source and the model year that source describes. Mazda’s guidelines put verification of a comparison on the dealer, so a row that could not be sourced to a manufacturer publication is left out rather than estimated, and a row the CX-30 does not lead is recorded in our research and not published here. Ask us for the documentation behind any row and we will show it to you.
