The Mazda CX-30 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, with comparable head- and legroom. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-30, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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). The Mazda CX-30 is somewhat more expensive than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

Dimensions
The Mazda CX-30 is about the same width as the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. The Mazda CX-30 is slightly shorter than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Mazda CX-30 has the same turning radius as the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Mazda CX-30 and the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

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