This is Honda HR-V Vs Mazda CX-3 comparison for 2022. The CX-3 was released way back in 2015 along with the Mazda2. CX-3 sales are still doing good sales all things considered but declining sales in most parts of the world. We’ve always liked the CX-3 since its’s release due to pricing and features but it always been on the small side. In comparison the new HRV has not peaked our interest due to to being expensive. So how to the two compare?
Honda HR-V Vs Mazda CX-3 exterior comparison: Taking into account development time the CX-3 design may be 10 years old but it still looks great. It is a familiar shape by now but it doesn’t look old. In comparison the new HRV looks like to has been around or a few years. It truly reminders us of the Mitsubishi Lancer lift back – just alit more refined.
Honda HR-V Vs Mazda CX-3 interior comparison: The CX-3 looks like a bigger SUV on the outside than it is on the inside which feels just as small as the donor Mazda2. Sure it can fit larger people but it simply not as spacious. The interior design like it’s exterior may be quite old but it still looks throughly up to date. In comparison the HRV is spacious, modern minimalist design look. We like it for the presentation which is a contrast to CX-3. Ignoring space the CX-3 looks more youthful than the HRV but feels just as good to be in dependent on model grade.
Honda HR-V Vs Mazda CX-3 drive report : N/A
The conclusion and winner of the Honda HR-V Vs Mazda CX-3 comparison is the CX-3. 2022 has seen huge prices rises due to the lockdowns and will continue to rise until as they say, supply chains normalise. The CX-3 prices rises haven’t been as dramatic as the HRV and for that reason the CX-3 is the winner. The spec of the top range CX-3 exceeds the equilivent HRV is a perfect example. The top range HRV may have a hybrid engine but the CX-3 fuel consumption is not that far behind considering it’s not a turbo. and it’s cheaper.
