Pros & cons
Mazda CX-3
- Good value in its segment at a price of 20500
- 5-star safety rating
- Efficient for its class at 6.4 combined consumption
- Solid reliability score (80)
- 350 liters of trunk space is modest for bigger trips
- 121 hp and 180 km/h top speed won’t satisfy performance driving
- Not aimed at a premium experience
- 0–100 km/h in 8.2 s is more adequate than exciting
Toyota Corolla Cross
- Prioritizes reliability and safety for family duty
- Good value in its segment around $25,000
- Efficient for its class at 6.5 L/100 km, easing fuel costs
- Five seats and a 487 L trunk handle school runs and weekend hauls
- Not for performance seekers; acceleration is modest (0–100 km/h in 9.2 s)
- Gasoline-only powertrain in this spec; no electrified driving experience
- Five-seat layout only, so larger families needing three rows should look elsewhere
- Limited premium appeal if you want upscale materials and features
