Named the second-best subcompact SUV by U.S. News and World Report, the 2020 Mazda CX-30 is a brand-new vehicle that comes in four available trims: CX-30 (base), Select, Preferred, and Premium. Use this guide to learn more about why you should consider the CX-30 for your next vehicle.
Spacious and Upscale Interior
The Mazda CX-30 seats five people, and the driver and front passenger seats are comfortable even for long drives. There’s plenty of legroom and headroom, even if the back row. The vehicle feels roomier when compared to others in its class. Almost all of its surfaces are soft, and the multicolored upholstery and trim pieces give the vehicle a unique appearance.
The Select trim adds tinted rear windows, simulated leather upholstery including a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Opting for the Preferred trim adds heated seats, while the top-of-the-line Premium trim includes full leather seating and a power liftgate.
User-Friendly Technology
The SUV’s interior has a plethora of amenities to help you enjoy your ride. Each trim includes an 8.8-inch infotainment display that you operate via a rotary knob. Although there is no touch-screen display, the infotainment system is easy to operate.
The base trim includes HD radio, voice recognition, Bluetooth connectivity, two USB ports, and an eight-speaker stereo system. All trims except the base one include Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, while the Preferred and Premium trims include a 12-speaker Bose audio system.
Nimble Handling
The CX-30 is a fun vehicle to drive, thanks to its nimble handling and maneuverability. It’s powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. It also comes paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. This engine is the same one that is found on the compact Mazda CX-5, and it gives you enough acceleration to pass other vehicles when traveling at high speeds on the highway.
Impressive Cargo Space
Behind the rear seats, the CX-30 has 20.2 cubic feet of space. Although this number is about average, the space is more impressive because the vehicle has a wide hatch opening. Thanks to a low trunk floor, you have an easy time wedging large or bulky items into the SUV.
Stellar Safety Features
To keep everyone safe, the vehicle comes standard with an abundance of safety features. Many of these features are part of Mazda’s i-Activesense driver assistance system and include pedestrian detection, low-speed automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. All trims also include adaptive cruise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a driver monitoring system, a rearview camera, and automatic high-beam headlights. You can upgrade the Select trim to receive blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, while these come standard on the other two trims.
Thanks to these features, the CX-30 earned the 2020 Top Safety Pick ranking from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
