Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mazda CX-30 than in the Hyundai Venue, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Hyundai Venue and the Mazda CX-30.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Hyundai Venue 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 Hyundai Venue is a better financial choice over the Mazda CX-30, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Venue is a little narrower than the Mazda CX-30, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the Hyundai Venue, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mazda CX-30.

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

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

Powertrain
The Hyundai Venue has much lower torque than the Mazda CX-30, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Venue and the Mazda CX-30. The Hyundai Venue has significantly less cargo capacity than the Mazda CX-30.
