Performance
The 2025 Mazda CX-30 comes standard with a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine, delivering up to 191 horsepower. That’s enough to leave the underpowered Kia Seltos in the dust, which comes standard with just 146 horsepower. With their available upgraded engines, the Mazda SUV pulls even further ahead, with up to 250 horsepower against just 195 horsepower for the Kia SUV.
Handling
Both the 2025 Mazda CX-30 and Kia Seltos feature all-wheel drive as a standard feature, but the new Mazda SUV doesn’t stop there. In addition to the intelligent and dynamic i-Activ AWD®, which automatically adjusts performance in response to slippage, it also features G-Vectoring Control Plus. This feature automatically responds to steering inputs to limit body roll and increase stability, and it’s only offered on the Mazda model.
Infotainment
There are multiple ways to control your audio playback, respond to messages, and more in the 2025 Mazda CX-30. You can use the Multifunction Commander control, explore natural language commands, or even connect through available Alexa Built-in®. The Kia Seltos only comes standard with a touchscreen, with hands-free commands added as an available feature.
Safety
Your daily drive isn’t just safer in the 2025 Mazda CX-30 — it’s easier, too. Radar Cruise Control only comes as a standard feature on the Mazda model, automatically detecting the optimal space cushion and keeping you at the perfect distance from the car in front. Combined with a blind-spot warning and rear-cross traffic alerts, both standard features on the Mazda CX-30 and only available on the Kia Seltos, you’re safer behind the wheel of the Mazda SUV.
