If you’ve seen the new CX-30 drive, you’ve probably marveled at its stunning good looks. That’s partly due to the Kodo design philosophy Mazda uses on all its new vehicles. Kodo design takes light and shadow to capture the soul of motion. A sweeping S-curve along the doors captures this interplay perfectly, reflecting the constantly shifting world around it.

The aggressive front fascia features a signature grille framed by LED headlights that wrap to the sides. Rising above the grille, you see the chiseled hood that speaks to the power underneath. Low-profile roof rails and a power liftgate at functional appeal, while the one-touch power moonroof adds a touch of luxury that lets in all the light and air for an exhilarating driving experience.

Mazda uses 18-inch alloy wheels in various styles wrapped in all-season tires designed for traction and smoothness. In addition, every trim comes with an adaptive front lighting system that angles the headlights to the right or left as you turn for improved visibility.

Interior Comfort and Technology

Slipping inside the CX-30 cabin, you’re immediately impressed with the deliberate design. All your controls are within easy, intuitive reach, and the ergonomic seats cradle you in comfort. Premium perforated leather seats with accent stitching add sophistication, while the color palettes add elegance. The invigorating cabin invites you inside and offers the space and luxury that lets you focus on what’s in front of you.

Mazda considered everything inside the cabin, including the placement of gauges, displays, and controls. As a result, drivers love the experience behind the wheel, and passengers can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. The trunk offers 20.2 cubic feet of space to hold all your adventure gear.

Your in-vehicle technology runs through the Mazda Connect infotainment system. The 8.8-inch touchscreen mounted on the center dash controls the infotainment functions using touch/pinch/zoom technology. As a result, you can access your favorite apps, navigate, and operate the 12-speaker premium Bose audio system. Bose designed this system specifically for the CX-30 cabin to optimize sound quality. 

Apply CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth capability to enable you to sync your cellphone with your infotainment system. Now, you can make calls, reply to texts, and stream your favorite music hands-free using basic voice commands. You can add Wi-Fi to your CX-30, which provides access to automatic 911 dialing if there’s an accident and roadside assistance in case of a breakdown.

In addition, you can download the MyMazda App to your smartphone for remote functionality. Using the app, you can find your vehicle in crowded, oversized parking lots. Also, when you remotely start your vehicle through the app, it automatically returns your CX-30 climate control to its previous settings. The MyMazda App provides you with vehicle diagnostics in real-time, enabling you to track your service and schedule your maintenance visits.

Performance Features

The CX-30 comes with your choice of engines. Mazda uses its SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing and advanced direct injection technology in the lower trim levels. In addition, you get the SKYACTIV-DRIVE six-speed electronically-controlled sport automatic transmission paired with this engine. As a result, this powertrain can produce 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque and tow up to 1,500 pounds.

Mazda offers a turbocharged version of the same engine paired with the six-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain puts out an impressive 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. The CX-30 can tow up to 2,000 pounds with the proper equipment. That’s enough to bring the jet skis or a small pop-up camper on your next adventure.

The turbocharged models have Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD with Off-Road Traction Assist as a standard system. This system continuously monitors vehicle dynamics and delivers torque to the wheels that can use it most. As a result, your CX-30 maintains traction on almost every surface. The lower trim levels come with a capable front-wheel-drive system with AWD available as an option.

Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) system works with the AWD. The GVC Plus automatically adjusts throttle, braking, and engine torque to optimize vehicle balance when cornering and accelerating. As a result, your CX-30 rides smoother and hugs the road better than other crossover SUVs.

i-Activsense Driver-Assist Systems

Every CX-30 comes standard with i-Activsense, a suite of driver-assist systems designed to help you drive safer. The suite includes Smart Brake Support, which uses radar and cameras to scan the road ahead for hazards. When it detects a hazard, you receive an alert. If you fail to react, the system provides emergency braking to help mitigate or avoid an accident.

You also get Lane Departure Warning and Lane-Keep Assist systems. These systems use sensors mounted high on your CX-30’s windshield to track your CX-30 when traveling within marked lanes. This system alerts you when it detects an unintentional drift and can provide gentle steering correction to help return you to your lane.

The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go system enhances your regular cruise control by automatically adjusting your speed and distance to the car ahead. If necessary, it can slow your CX-30 to a complete stop and return you to your preset speed and distance once the way forward clears.

At Bountiful Mazda, we know what SUV drivers want. That’s why we stock an expansive inventory of CX-30 SUVs, all loaded with features you’ll love and priced to fit any budget.
