The Mazda CX-30 is a compact SUV that offers five passengers plenty of space, but has a sporty appearance. This crossover SUV features plenty of safety features, as well as an abundance of technology. It is also a good choice for young drivers.
The Mazda CX-30 has plenty of cargo space and is available with all-wheel drive. This car can hold a lot of things with its 20.2 cubic foot trunk space. This car is smaller than the Subaru Crosstrek, Hyundai Kona and other competitors.
The Mazda CX-30 has a similar platform to the Mazda3, however its body is elevated to a higher point. You can expect a smooth ride and an excellent safety rating. CX-30 was rated Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS. It also received five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The Mazda CX-30 is an excellent compact crossover in terms of fuel efficiency. The base engine can get 26 mpg inside the city, 33 in the highway, and 29 together. This is a significant improvement over last year's model but not as impressive as turbocharged engines, which get 22 mpg in city, 30 highway mpg, and 25 combined.
For those who like to travel off-road, you'll be happy to know that the CX-30 is equipped with an i-Activ AWD system. The system employs Offroad Traction Assist which distributes torque to each wheel in the most efficient way. It does require premium fuel to produce 250 horsepower, so the car will not get as much power as the turbo model.
The interior is clean and modern. Mazda's interiors have been a step ahead of their competition in recent years, and this vehicle is no exception. While the wheel at the center console is distracting, the rest is quite pleasant. The touchscreen on the center console can be used to control your voice and it also has a voice command feature. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also available to make phone calls, listen to music and play your favorite songs through your device.
Mazda CX-30 includes a wide range of safety technology. The Mazda CX-30 also has automatic emergency brakes. There are 10 airbags. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go is also available. Basically, this feature will maintain your preset speed, following distance, and lane when you're driving.
Mazda also offers a turbocharged 2.5 liter engine for certain models. With a total output of 250 hp, this engine feels more powerful than the base, and it's a pleasure to drive. However, the turbocharged version will set you back a little more, as it is slightly more costly than the regular.
While the Mazda CX-30 may have some issues, it is a capable small crossover SUV that is worth checking out.
