Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid than in the Volvo EX30. The Volvo EX30 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid.

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 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is a better financial choice over the Volvo EX30, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is much wider than the Volvo EX30, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volvo EX30.

Handling
The Mazda CX-50 Hybrid has the same turning radius as the Volvo EX30, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid has a lot less horsepower than the Volvo EX30.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volvo EX30.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid and the Volvo EX30. With the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Volvo EX30.
