2018 Mazda CX-3 vs 2018 Honda HR-V

Advantages of 2018 Mazda CX-3

The 2018 Mazda CX-3 also has the advantage for safety. It offers all of the safety features that helped the previous-year model earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety "Top Safety Pick+" rating, while adding standard Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) for all trims. If faced with a potential collision in a low speed driving situation, the SCBS system will automatically apply brake pressure — which makes it a good feature to have in the stop-and-start traffic that one frequently encounters on city streets. The CX-3 also comes standard with a rearview camera and an anti-theft system for all trims, while Blind Sport Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert comes standard for CX-3 Touring and above.

Inside the CX-3, the cabin is well-equipped with a wide array of features. The MAZDA CONNECT™ infotainment system features a user-friendly 7" touchscreen, with the ability to access music, navigation and many other features through voice commands. The CX-3 also offers the incredible sound experience of the available BOSE® audio system, as well access to many radio stations via available HD radio and SiriusXM satellite radio. For cargo convenience and versatility, the CX-3 comes standard with 60/40 split-fold rear seats, while the available Power Glass Roof gives you a wonderful view out of the top of the vehicle.
