I compared both in 2022, & found the top trim 2022 XLE AWD Cross not even in the same quality/feel league as the 2022 CX-30 Carbon Edition (a mid-level trim), despite both being similar in MSRP as configured. Purchased the Mazda (a first for me) & have been problem-free for 16 months now (unlike my poor-quality 2020 Corolla SE sedan experience for the 2 years I kept it).

Wish you would have kept the windows up so we could hear the level of cabin noise during the bumpy road drive.
how was the outward visibility for both vehicles out the dash and the side windows?
Nice comparison. Since the CX-30 also offers a digital speedometer, it would have been nice to see it compared to the Cross.
Next time! Thanks for watching
