What is it?

The CX-30 is Mazda's small SUV, slotting between the CX-3 and CX-5 on the Mazda 3 platform but riding higher. The MY26 range runs the 2.0L Skyactiv-G four with M Hybrid mild hybrid assist across most variants, with a 2.5L offered on Touring SP and above. AWD is optional on the upper grades. Cabin materials and switchgear are the segment's class-above selling point.

The lineup runs from G20 Pure at $33,840 plus on-roads, through to G25 GT SP AWD at $47,540 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.

Interior and Technology

Cabin materials and switchgear outclass the price bracket. Wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto standard from base. 5-star ANCAP with AEB pedestrian and cyclist detection standard. 2.5L G25 option for buyers who want real overtaking pace.

317 L boot is small for the segment, below Kona and Seltos. Rear legroom tighter than C-segment hatches at the same price. No full hybrid option, only 24V mild hybrid assist.

Should you buy the CX-30?

Reasons to wait
