The automotive market is replete with crossover vehicles, and people seem to be taking a lot of interest in what they have to offer. Settling for an SUV or a sedan makes little sense when you can get the best of both worlds in one crossover. In fact, contrary to what many would have you believe, crossovers are no more expensive than sedans or SUVs. Two of the most popular crossovers that are ruling the market these days are the 2021 Mazda CX-30 and the 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport. Of course, you cannot purchase both vehicles at once. You need to pick one over the other, which can be challenging. To ease the process for you, we, at Bob Baker Mazda in Carlsbad, CA, have put together a model comparison. Read and make an informed decision regarding the model you want to drive home. Also, browse through our inventory in case the Mazda intrigues you.
