2020 Mazda CX-3 vs. 2020 Kia Soul
Performance and comfortability: these traits are two of the most important aspects when looking to find the right vehicle. Especially with extra-small crossovers, vehicle brands have taken different approaches to making their newest models stand out on the market. But when it comes down to it, the 2020 Mazda CX-3 boasts strong engine specifications for its size as well as a comfortable and innovative interior for its stature.
But to compare the Mazda’s smallest crossover to the popular 2020 Kia Soul, how does the model stack up? We at Kelly Mazda in the Scranton, PA area decided to take some notes.
2020 Mazda CX-3 |
Versus |
2020 Kia Soul |
---|---|---|
2.0L 4-cylinder 6A | Engine | 2.0L 4-cylinder CTV |
148 | Horsepower | 147 |
146 ft-lbs | Torque | 132 ft-lbs |
29 City / 34 Highway MPG | Fuel Economy | 27 City / 33 Highway MPG |
Available | All-Wheel Drive Option | Not Available |
Looking at the base engine specifications between the two above, the 2020 Mazda CX-3 narrowly edges out the 2020 Kia Soul across the board. Though the horsepower and torque come fairly close, the CX-3 provides a more economical option with its combined 31 MPG. A major factor for the general area can be the all-wheel drive capabilities, as the CX-3 is the only one of the two that can be equipped with it. Not only that, but the 2020 Mazda CX-3 comes with standard Adaptive Cruise Control, which is something the 2020 Kia Soul does not offer.
Interior Options Inside the 2020 Mazda CX-3
