Why the Mazda CX-30 is Superior to the Nissan Qashqai

Are you in the market for a new car and trying to decide between the Mazda CX-30 and the Nissan Qashqai? If so, you're in luck! In this article, we'll be discussing three key reasons why you should choose the Mazda CX-30 over the Nissan Qashqai. Keep reading to learn more!


Design & Performance

The design and performance of both cars are very similar; however, there are some key differences between them. The 2.0-litre engine found in the base Mazda CX-30 has slightly more power and torque than the 2.0-litre engine found in the base Nissan Qashqai as well as a better transmission system and suspension system. Additionally, its exterior design is sleek and modern, with striking details such as LED headlights which give it an edge over its competitor in terms of style and sophistication.


Safety Features

The safety features offered by both cars are comparable, but again, there are some subtle differences that make one stand out from another. The Mazda CX-30 offers the innovative i-Activsense system that features Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring (ABSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), and Off-Road Traction Assist, to only name a few. The Nissan Qashqai also offers some of these features, but they aren't quite as advanced as those found on the Mazda CX-30, which means that when it comes to safety features, you get more bang for your buck with the latter vehicle choice.


Powertrain Options

Finally, the Mazda CX-30 offers more powertrain options than its competitor. We briefly touched on the base 2.0-litre engine in a previous point, but the Mazda CX-30 is also available with an impressive 2.5-litre turbocharged engine that produces up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful SUVs in its class. Moreover, a third engine choice is available in the form of a 2.5-litre that produces an impressive 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, giving you even more powertrain options to choose from. Meanwhile, the Nissan Qashqai only offers a single 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which can make it less attractive to those looking for more power and performance from their vehicle.


For these reasons, you should seriously consider the Mazda CX-30 when shopping for your next car. Its combination of design, performance, safety features and powertrain options make it a clear winner when compared to the Nissan Qashqai. So don't wait any longer; head to our dealership and experience the CX-30 for yourself today!
