2020 Mazda CX-30 Compact SUV - New Mazda CX-30 Introduce https://youtu.be/6k7fDA3XUNk

The Mazda CX-30 is yet another SUV from the Japanese brand, making it five in total, to really cover almost every segment and size.

Since we have all but given up pretending SUVs are anything but the norm for most, this is the car you need to buy if you were thinking of a Mazda 3. That's because it’s more practical and spacious, without losing any of the desirable characteristics of its more traditional sedan or hatch cousins.

We flew to Frankfurt earlier this month to drive Mazda’s latest SUV, which we first saw back at the Geneva motor show in March. It won’t arrive in Australia until 2020. The best way to describe the CX-30 is that it’s a Mazda 3 on stilts. It really needed to be called a CX-4, but because Mazda already sells a car with that name in China (and nowhere else), we are stuck with CX-30. Which is a little confusing because the rest of the SUVs are CX-3, CX-5, CX-8 and CX-9. In the past there has also been a CX-7. So, to go from there to CX-30 seems like a board meeting gone wrong.

But don’t let the strange naming decision detract from the fact that this is almost smack bang in the middle of the CX-3 and CX-5. However, unlike either of those two SUVs, the CX-30 is on the latest SkyActiv platform from Mazda, so it gains the latest and greatest in technology and refinement. It feels a generation ahead of the CX-3, and at least half a generation ahead of the popular CX-5.

From the outside, there is no denying the design language is similar to the Mazda 3 hatch. It’s a continuation of Kodo design, what Mazda calls ‘sleek and bold’, and although we generally dislike marketing buzz, it’s probably a fair call. The grille manages to incorporate chrome and gloss black to appeal to both North Americans and people with taste. It’s a very good-looking car, no matter how you look at it.
