2021 Mazda CX-30 vs 2021 Kia Soul

The 2021 Mazda CX-30 was launched just a year back but the response it received was revolutionary. The CX-30 was the first crossover to feature a balanced blend of style, functionality, and performance and hence, became an instant hit with both buyers and enthusiasts. Competition is ripe, and counterparts like the Toyota RAV4 are also in contention for the top spot. Both the SUVs have a lot to offer. But the Mazda CX-30 manages to outclass the Kia Soul with a perfect balance of peppy performance and features, making it a more interesting option. In this article, we are going to see what makes the Mazda CX-30 a more favorable SUV of the two.

For the 2021 model year, Mazda has made Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard across all the trims. Other than that, a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine will be available as an option.
