Mazda CX-30 2020 Review
The Mazda CX-30 will become the popular Japanese brand’s fifth SUV model when it reaches Australian showrooms next year. Plugging yet another gap in Mazda’s SUV arsenal, the sleek new small crossover combines the nippy, manoeuvrable strengths of the smaller CX-3 with the dynamic maturity, long-journey amenity and family friendliness of the larger CX-5, and also adds an extra dose of style. It is set to be priced from about $25,000 when it arrives here in early 2020.
Mazda’s new CX-30 will be a lot like Netflix in Australia. You probably won’t realise you need it in your life until it’s there.

Arriving in showrooms in early 2020, the CX-30 is the fifth instalment in Mazda’s expanding SUV line-up. On paper, it might appear an overplay for the Japanese marque, whose SUV model family has grown from the large CX-9 and the mid-size CX-5 (nee Tribute) to include the small CX-3 and, most recently, the all-new CX-8 diesel seven-seater.

The strategy appears to be working. Mazda has a stronghold on second outright in new-vehicle sales race in Australia, and its SUVs are collectively leading the charge as the CX-5 remains Australia’s top-selling SUV and looks likely to overtake the new Mazda3 as its best-seller.

The naming philosophy behind the CX-30 is more confounding; it could have easily been coined the Mazda CX-4, as it squeezes between CX-3 and CX-5 in size. However, Mazda decided against the name as it already offers a China-specific CX-4 and didn’t want to double up.
In any case, the CX-30 is based on the more conventional Mazda3 hatch, using the same platform, engines and drivelines. Mazda officials say it will carry a small premium over equivalent Mazda3 models, meaning an estimated starting price of about $25,000 (plus on-road costs).

It is understood there will be three different CX-30 variants in Australia: an entry 114/200Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol, a mid-level 139kW/252Nm 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol and a flagship 132kW/224Nm SKYACTIV-X variant, which uses the same spark compression ignition technology to be debuted by the new Mazda3 SKYACTIV-X. It will land at a later date.

Diesel is off the menu altogether. Mazda officials noted slow take-up of diesel variants in the smaller CX-3 and decided against it in CX-30.
Each will be moderately equipped with niceties including climate control, a digital infotainment screen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, along with the latest safety and driver aids.

Beyond that, specification details at this early point in time are relatively scarce, other than to say the CX-30 will be backed by Mazda’s five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, and offered with capped price servicing across set 12-month/10,000km intervals (most rivals offer 12-month/15,000km intervals).

Price-wise, Mazda officials suggest the CX-30 will closely align with its Mazda3 donor car, which suggests a starting figure of about $25,000 and a price ceiling close to $40,000 (before on-road costs).
Settling into the Mazda CX-30 interior doesn’t bring a huge Eureka moment in terms of space, proportions or design. Instead it feels familial by Mazda standards, with quality materials and build construction, sound ergonomics and a sporty, quasi-prestige pretence to the interior fitout.

Mazda is at pains to point out the human-centric approach to the CX-30’s internals, and how seats essentially borrowed from the Mazda3 support the spine’s natural shape. Similarly, marketing boffins say the hip point of the driver’s seat – the all-important point at which you pivot into the seats – is 45mm higher than in a Mazda3.
