Despite being Mazda’s entry-level crossover, the little CX-30 is anything but cheap. It has a refined albeit tight interior, as well as powerful engines including a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre unit rated at 191 horsepower and a turbocharged version producing up to 250 horsepower with premium gasoline. The base 2.0-litre engine has been dropped for 2024, while a new Suna Edition is available at the top of the lineup. Cargo capacity is below average.
Pros
- Undeniable driving pleasure
- Improved fuel consumption (2.5 L atmospheric)
- Attractive design and fit and finish
Cons
- Tight interior
- GX version poorly equipped
- Multimedia system without touchscreen (base model)
