2022 Mazda CX-30 vs. 2022 Audi Q3

The 2022 Mazda CX-30 and the 2022 Audi Q3 are both compact SUVs that offer a similar level of performance and comfort. However, they have different strengths and weaknesses in each category. This article will compare the two vehicles on their exterior design, interior design, technology & safety features, engine performance specs, and fuel economy to determine which is right for you.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The Mazda CX-30 looks like a small SUV with an upright stance and a slightly raised suspension. It has large wheels, a sloping roofline with triangular D-pillars, and sleek headlights that extend into the hoodline.

It's not precisely flashy but looks sporty from the sides, where you can see muscular lines on the bodywork that lead to those angular headlights. The grille is broad and deep with a large horizontal bar in its center, while fog lamps sit above it on either side of an almost invisible badge placement, which is a low front spoiler lip and air intakes in each corner of the bumper.

The 2022 Audi Q3 offers a much more stylish take on SUV design than either of its competitors do, with sleek lines throughout that give it an aerodynamic appearance, unlike any other SUV you're likely to come across (unless you count another Audi). It has smooth chrome accents around windows and door handles as well as dual exhaust tips at each corner-all features that contribute to this vehicle's overall beauty.

• Interior Design

The new 2022 Mazda CX-30 has an interior that distinguishes it from its competitors. The dashboard is curved and sleek, with a translucent panel in front of the driver for digital displays. The backseat passengers can see out of all four windows thanks to the large panoramic sunroof!

Audi's Q3 tends to have more classic interior designs, but it still has some modern touches. There are two 4k screens in this car: one on each side of the steering wheel, which can display information like navigation or incoming calls from friends who want you to meet at a specific place at a particular time (this is called "streaming content").

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Mazda CX-30 is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to experience the latest technology. It comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which allows you to connect your phone and use it in the vehicle. You can access music, make calls and send messages hands-free.

The Audi Q3 also comes with advanced technology options such as HD Radio, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, or an Audi Connect App Suite (which includes Google Earth). The Audi Connect system is compatible with Android Auto if you subscribe to an optional service package.

Performance

The 2022 Mazda CX-30 gets a 2.0L engine with an output of 186 HP and 180 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Audi Q3 also has a 2.0L engine, but with an output of 190 HP and 184 lb-ft of torque.

The difference in horsepower between these two engines is small enough that it's not noticeable on the road or even in most tests-except when you're trying to merge into traffic on the highway at 70mph. It's not impossible to do this with either car; it just requires more revving than would otherwise be necessary if they had more power under their hoods.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Mazda CX-30 is an excellent choice for those who want the most bang for their buck. It has many advantages over the 2022 Audi Q3, including a better exterior design, a more comfortable interior cabin, and better technology and safety features. The engine performance specs are also impressive in fuel economy, horsepower, and torque output levels. Overall, this is a great vehicle that offers drivers everything they could need!
