Get Excited for the Mazda CX-30
There is a new Mazda crossover SUV on the horizon, and it fits in the small slot between the CX-3 and the CX-5. The all-new Mazda CX-30 has a bold look and the same platform as the recently updated Mazda3. It is slightly shorter than the Mazda3 in order to fit in its new slot, but it has many of the same tech and comfort features and equipment. It’s time to get excited for the new Mazda CX-30.
The Exterior Look
According to Mazda execs, the exterior design of the CX-30 is both sleek and bold. It will have the signature wide grille up front, and large front windows. The rear windows have a more forward-canted design, and there is thick plastic cladding on the wheel arches and the lower part of the body.
The Power
Mazda has not confirmed what the CX-30 will have under the hood, but experts speculate that it will have the same 2.4-liter four-cylinder found in the Mazda 3. If this is the case, it should get 186 horsepower and come with a six-speed automatic transmission. Both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive will be available options. Most likely the CX-30 will eventually offer the option for the Skyactive-X 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
The Interior
Inside, the CX-5 is very similar to the Mazda 3 with a sporty seat design, and cockpit-like feel for the driver. In the back, there are 15-cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats which is more that you’ll find in the Mazda 3 but less than the CX-5. This new Mazda will have extra sound-reducing material in the carpeting, the headliner, and in the floor mats to help reduce interior noise.
The technology will start with an 8.8-inch touch screen, and it will have a rotary controller in the console between the two front seats. It will also offer the option for a 12-speaker Bose stereo system.
The Safety Features
The CX-30 will offer the option for Mazda’s I-Activesense suite that includes several advanced safety systems. Adding this group will get you adaptive cruise control, auto high beams, automatic forward emergency braking, lane departure warning, and Mazda’s pedestrian detection system. This new crossover will also offer the option for blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and other driver aid including parking sensors.
A new driver aid you can expect to see in the CX-30 is the Driver Monitoring system. This watches the driver’s face and eyes and can detect when they start to feel tired or stop paying attention to the road. If your eyes are on your phone and not on the road, it will sound an alarm to alert you, so you remember to put your phone down. This system will also send you the forward collision alert sooner than the previous system to give you more time to react.
There is a lot to get excited about with this new Mazda. Its sleek exterior look combined with its comfortable and modern cabin make it the perfect choice for small SUV drivers. Mazda has not confirmed when it will hit dealerships in the U.S.
