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). Clearly, the Buick Envista is a better financial choice over the Mazda CX-30, when considering MSRP.

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.
