    Just for everyone wondering why the torque is so low: Toyota has never posted combined torque figures for their dual electric motor/full hybrid systems (they do for their single motor versions that use a real transmission, like the Sequoia and Crown Platinum). The torque figure is for the gasoline engine component ONLY. Apparently figuring it out is too complicated with the two electric motors up front and the added one in the back for AWD...but performance of the RAV4 hybrid and CX-50 hybrid shows that the real world torque are competitive with the Tucson and Sportage.

      the 160lb/ft is the gas engine. I have sat in the New camry awd and the 18 rav4 hybrid limited.
      i would place the torque in between the 2004 Jetta TDi stage 1, and the old Volvo S60 R, its in there somewhere.
      There isnt a exact number as its on demand, in Mclaren's terms, its called "torque fill".

      I would like to see if it could be dyno’d? I’m thinking because the torque has stages when it kicks in.
      Off the line it’s good, not as good between 55-65 ish then good after that up to highway speed. Sorry, km not miles.

      The outboard motor effect is a massive turnoff for most buyers and since they tell the manufacturers this at nearly every customer focus group the car builders come up with ways to both mask the drone and, sadly, compromise the efficiency of the CVT in the process.

    Is that torque figure correct? That seems very low considering Mazda's 2.5L non-hybrid is 186. With the hybrid, I'd have expected it to be close to (if not over) 200. 163 with this much weight and CVT seems like it would feel really, really slow. Does it use Toyota's hybrid CVT system where first gear is an actual gear before the CVT takes over? Disappointed to hear that the handling wasn't great; that's something Mazda usually outshone the competition on.

    The one thing I hate about the CX-30 styling is the excessive amount of plastic cladding, I remember the regular CX-50 was one of the best looking SUVs I had ever seen, but when I saw this video it just didn't look as pretty and I was like "Oh, we must have overrated the CX-50's styling, this is just the CX-30's terrible plastic cladding all over again"
    But when you mentioned it was actually taller and had more cladding it all made sense and yes, that's exactly why it looked weird, even the front felt weird, it felt like a bus, kinda, but that's exactly it.
    I wish Mazda would kill all sorts of plastic cladding. It just makes a cara look weird, there are ways to do it right (Look at the Lamborghini Urus for that) but in the way Mazda does it, it just looks terrible.

    I don't understand why the US gets screwed for features. Mazda in general, their trim levels and so on is just way complicated then it needs to be too.
    I waited all this time for the hybrid version, keeping myself away from buying the Turbo Premium Plus...in hopes that the hybrid is going to have the same trim/features as the turbo ones but with the benefit of the way better fuel economy.
    To be honest, I'm just looking for something that is more fuel efficient than my current car, so the turbo might be ok, I only would be going from a 16 MPG (23 gallon tank) vehicle to a 25 MPG (15 gallon tank), Id save about half on fuel per year going to the turbo. The hybrid is appealing because you save more and so on... just disappointing the hybrid in the USA is "more bare bones".

    I have experience with both and I far prefer the mazda, but i think most people will prefer the comfier ride and more touch-centric infotainment of the toyota, and wont notice the lower quality interior, crappy handling at higher cornering speeds, etc. The parking sensor beeping in the rav4 will drive your rear passengers deaf.

    I hate that as Canadians we now decide which car to buy based on car theft trends. How pathetic is that? Viewers outside Canada might think you were joking with that quip but it’s a sad fact. It’s really a shameful indictment of the state of our Country in 2024. We pay more for everything comparatively to the US and get far inferior services in return. Property theft gets a collective shrug from law enforcement.
