Advantages of the 2021 Mazda CX-3 over the 2021 Hyundai Venue

It is very clear from the table above that the Mazda CX-3 is a lot more powerful than the Hyundai Venue. Sub-compact crossover SUVs are generally subtle in their power offerings. However, a punchy engine makes all the difference. This is what the 2021 CX-3 benefits from. Coming to the transmission, the CX-3’s six-speed automatic is lively and offers an involved driving experience compared to the lethargic continuously variable-speed automatic transmission (CVT) that the 2021 Hyundai Venue is equipped with. The Venue sure does outperform the CX-3 in the fuel efficiency department. But the CX-3 makes up for it with a peppy driving experience.

Talking about features, the CX-3 offers a wide array of them, such as cloth-upholstered seats, manually adjustable front seats, a seven-inch touchscreen display, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, voice recognition, a six-speaker sound system, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, Aha™ internet radio integration, Pandora® internet radio integration, Stitcher™ internet radio integration, auxiliary audio input jack, infotainment system voice command, and a 12-volt power outlet, to name some of them.

The 2021 CX-3 also offers an impressive list of safety features like Hill Launch Assist, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS), Rearview Camera, Lane Departure Warning, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and Smart Brake Support with collision warning.

With all these features on offer at an affordable price, the 2021 Mazda CX-3 is a better option compared to the 2021 Hyundai Venue.
