2020 Mazda CX-30 vs 2020 Kia Soul
While the Mazda brand has provided the market with plenty of intriguing and upscale models, they added a new vehicle in 2020: the all-new CX-30. With the new model, crossover enthusiasts can experience performance not otherwise found in an extra-small crossover.
When comparing the five-seat 2020 Mazda CX-30 to other models in the market, few can compare in overall performance and interior conveniences. Those interested in the Thousand Oaks area have most likely seen a number of these models on the roads already. But how does it stack up to the affordable and popular 2020 Kia Soul? We at Neftin Westlake Mazda compare the two below:
2020 Mazda CX-30 |
Versus |
2020 Kia Soul |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5L 4-Cylinder | Base Engine | 2.0L 4-Cylinder |
| 186 at 6000 rpm | Horsepower | 147 at 6200 rpm |
| 186 ft-lbs at 4000 rpm | Torque | 132 ft-lbs at 2500 rpm |
| 28 MPG | Estimated Combined MPG | 27 MPG |
| Standard | Adaptive Cruise Control | Available |
| $21,900 | Starting MSRP | $17,490 |
Looking at the engine specifications between the 2020 Mazda CX-30 and the 2020 Kia Soul, the CX-30 offers more performance. With both higher horsepower and torque at a lower rpm compared to the Soul, the CX-30 offers an exciting and responsive drive. Plus, Adaptive Cruise Control comes standard to the model and has available i-ACTIV® AWD for each model – something the Soul doesn’t have. Though the 2020 Kia Soul comes in at a lower base price and offers a second turbo engine in their GT-Line Turbo model, you would have to pay up to $10,000 more than its base trim to gain better performance.
