When it comes to performance, the 2010 Hyundai Elantra and the 2019 Mazda CX-30 offer contrasting driving experiences. The Elantra is equipped with a 2.0-liter inline-four engine, delivering a modest 138 horsepower, perfect for everyday commuting and city driving. It prioritizes fuel efficiency, boasting an estimated 26 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. On the other hand, the Mazda CX-30 offers a more dynamic performance with its available 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G engine, producing up to 186 horsepower. The CX-30's engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, offering smoother acceleration and a more engaging drive. Additionally, the CX-30 offers an optional i-ACTIV AWD system, enhancing its versatility in varying road conditions, a feature not available in the Elantra. The Mazda's performance-oriented design provides a more responsive and agile handling, making it a better choice for those who value driving dynamics.
