The 2023 Mazda CX-30 is Underestimated. Here’s Why

For 2023, a lot has stayed the same for the Mazda CX-30. The mid-compact SUV offers its traditional 2.5-liter engine with a slight uptick in horsepower, propelling from 186 to 191 horsepower. In addition, the CX-30 attains a slight increase in fuel efficiency. Moreover, the Mazda SUV refined its safety features and crash structure to improve the driving experience for rear passengers. 

Inside the Mazda CX-30 

Similar to the Mazda3, which the CX-30 mimics except in size, the interior is exceptional. So no matter the trim enthusiasts select, the mid-compact cabin is so intoxicating because of the sophisticated design scheme and neat arrangement. For example, the Mazda CX-30 eliminates excessive switchgear and casually conceals air vents and door handles. Formerly, lower trim levels such as the S, S Select, and S Preferred offered two-tone color treatments. Still, premium trims starting from the S Carbon Edition offer white or black leather with reddish-brown simulated leather accents. Nonetheless, whatever trim level CX-30 enthusiasts select, the SUV’s cabin looks and feels special for an exceptional price. 

Fuel Economy and Performance

Every Mazda CX-30 trim includes all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic. However, two engine options are available: the naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four that renders 191 and 186 lb-ft of torque. Then there are the turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four cylinder forges 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The naturally-aspirated engine offers more power than its competitors and returns 26 miles per gallon (mpg) city, 33 mpg highway, and 29 combined. At the same time, the turbocharged engine delivers 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. 

Safety and Driver Assistance Features 

Beyond the airbags and stability assistance, the CX-30 offers many standard safety features. For example, the Mazda SUV includes forward collision warning, Smart Brake Support (automatic emergency braking), lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and a driver inattention warning system. Furthermore, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic warnings come standard on every trim, excluding the Mazda CX-30 S trim. 

The mid-compact Mazda earned a perfect five-star rating in every crash test from the government. The Institute for Highway Safety coined the CX-30 as a Top Safety Pick. In addition, the SUV earned the best possible rating in all crash tests and for its front-crash prevention system.
