Comparison Review

Comfort
The Buick Envista offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Mazda CX-30. The Buick Envista will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-30.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Envista as you will with the Mazda CX-30, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Buick Envista will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mazda CX-30.

Dimensions
The Buick Envista is a little wider than the Mazda CX-30, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Buick Envista, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mazda CX-30.

Handling
The Buick Envista has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Mazda CX-30, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Buick Envista has a lot less horsepower than the Mazda CX-30.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Buick Envista doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mazda CX-30.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Envista and the Mazda CX-30. The Buick Envista has less cargo space than the Mazda CX-30, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
