The CX-30 has a feeling of oneness that extends beyond the drive. It is a five-seat, compact crossover made for a wide range of drivers, especially young people who are approaching significant life transitions in their lives. Mazda wants the CX-30 to be able to help these people enjoy those milestones to the fullest and become an essential partner in their daily lives.

Realizing two contrasting expressions, the compact crossover has the flowing beauty of a coupe and the bold proportions of an SUV. CX-30 is offered in eight body colours, including Polymetal Grey, which was recently introduced for the 2019 Mazda3. Going beyond beauty, CX-30 is meant to look compact on the outside, but spacious on the inside.

The appealing exterior is matched with a comfortable, premium-feeling interior. The human-centric cockpit helps the driver feel connected with the vehicle but is not isolating from the other occupants. The floor console is outfitted with convenient, easy to access features and storage compartments, but intentionally eschews a distinct divide between the driver and front passenger. A focus on interior comfort and everyday user-friendliness makes this all-new compact crossover a car for everyone.

The driver’s seating position is set high to provide a clear field of view and let the driver focus on the road ahead. For clear visibility, the shape and thickness of the a-pillars and c-pillars are minimized to help reduce blind spots, while a rear quarter window offers a way to perceive potential vehicles or objects in the rear.

CX-30 GX is powered by a four-cylinder Skyactiv-G 2.0L engine paired with a quick-shifting Skyactiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission. This engine produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque.

All CX-30 GS and GT models are equipped with a four-cylinder Skyactiv-G 2.5 paired with a quick-shifting Skyactiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission. This engine provides 186 horsepower and is rated to deliver 186 lb-ft of torque.

With the CX-30 GS trim level, all i-Activsense safety features are standard, including Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Smart City Brake Support, Smart Brake Support, Pedestrian Detection (forward sensing), Lane-keep Assist System, Lane Departure Warning System, High Beam Control, and Driver Attention Alert.

In addition to G-Vectoring Control Plus, the compact crossover is equipped with Mazda’s new off-road traction assist feature, which can potentially help the driver when adventuring on uneven terrain. When the diagonal wheels lose traction, off-road traction assist will stop reducing the engine torque and increase the brake force on the wheels without traction. This transfers power to the wheels still on the ground to help allow the vehicle to regain traction and continue the drive. Front-wheel drive is standard on GX and GS models, and Mazda’s predictive i-Activ all-wheel drive is available. CX-30 GT is only available with i-Activ all-wheel drive.

A lot of dedication and effort goes into the development of an all-new vehicle, and Mazda spared no expense for the CX-30. The compact crossover is the ideal size to take on an uplifting journey, big or small. It will create an atmosphere where both the driver and passengers can enjoy everyone’s company while carrying whatever luggage might be needed for the day’s adventure. It is capable of celebrating all of life’s milestones with you and before you know it, you’ll feel completely at ease in the CX-30’s embrace.
