Performance
In terms of performance, both the CX-5 and CX-30 are offered with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine or a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The latter delivers up to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque in each model, but the CX-30 will have the advantage here because it is lighter. The turbocharged CX-30 is a very unique vehicle in its segment, offering the kind of performance that is usually found in much more expensive vehicles. The CX-5 Turbo has the most power and torque of any compact SUV.
The 2.5-litre four-cylinder will deliver 187 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque in the CX-5, and 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque in the CX-30. The actual performance will be just about identical, however. The only real difference is that the CX-30 comes with a standard 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. This will be the most efficient engine in this comparison, but below you find how both 2.5-litre engines compare.
