Mazda CX-5 vs. Mazda CX-30: Which Austin SUV is Your Perfect Fit?
A Guide to Mazda's Award-Winning Crossovers from Roger Beasley Mazda Central
Two Paths to an Exceptional Drive
Choosing between two fantastic options is a great problem to have. At Roger Beasley Mazda Central, we often help our Austin customers decide between two of our most popular models: the versatile Mazda CX-5 and the agile Mazda CX-30. Both vehicles offer standard i-Activ AWD®, stunning Kodo design, and a commitment to a premium driving experience. The right choice for you simply depends on your lifestyle and what you need from your next vehicle.
The Mazda CX-5: The Versatile and Spacious Choice
The 2025 Mazda CX-5 is a compact SUV that has set the standard for its class. It's the ideal choice for small families or those who need a bit more room for their adventures. With a more spacious interior and a larger cargo area (30 cubic feet), the CX-5 is perfect for weekend trips to the lake, hauling gear, or comfortably seating friends and family. It offers a commanding view of the road and a slightly larger 10.25-inch center display, making it feel both substantial and sophisticated on the road.
The Mazda CX-30: The Nimble and Stylish Urban Explorer
The 2025 Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact SUV designed for those who want the capability of an SUV in a more city-friendly package. Its slightly smaller footprint makes it a breeze to navigate and park in busy Austin neighborhoods. While more compact, the CX-30 boasts impressive standard horsepower (191 HP) and excellent fuel efficiency, making it a smart and spirited choice for your daily commute. With 20.2 cubic feet of cargo space, it still offers plenty of versatility for weekend getaways and errands.
