Superior Drivability

We won’t sugarcoat it: the 2021 C-HR is boring. Its engine is terribly underpowered, and its handling leaves a lot to be desired. The 2021 CX-30 blows it out of the water. The 2.5L base engine has 42 more horsepower and 47 more lb-ft of torque than C-HR. Not only that, but the CX-30 has almost identical fuel economy as the C-HR. And we haven’t even mentioned the all-new CX-30 Turbo, which sports a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Oh, and the CX-30 can be purchased in FWD or AWD. The C-HR only comes in FWD.

Standard Features

The 2021 CX-30 has plenty of features, no matter which trim you get. From the get-go, the CX-30 gets Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, HD Radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, an 8.8-inch infotainment display, and two USB ports. Each 2021 CX-30 also has forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, driver attention monitoring, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic high beams, and a rearview camera.
