TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 Hyundai Venue courts bargain shoppers with department-store space and quality.

The 2021 Mazda CX-30 is great-looking, spacious, and more polished and fun-to-drive than other compact competitors, but it’s a step behind in value and features.

TCC Likes

Spunky style
Good cargo space
It’s a practical hatchback

Great proportions and styling
Polished powertrain
Standard active-safety suite

TCC Dislikes

Back-seat shoulder space
That’s enough grille, we think
Hype aside, it’s not a crossover

More expensive than alternatives
Frustrating options packages
Lacks a touchscreen
