If the cx30 had the cx5's cladding and interior, this would be an easy decision for me.

[@taniaroberts9302]

Agree. The cladding is doing my head in

[@TrangHoang-mi9tx]

Thanks a lot for this informational video! I’m looking to buy a CX5 soon 👍

[@JSS]

Congratulations! It’s a great vehicle.

The next time I buy a car, and if you’re still working it’s definitely gonna be from you . Just because you’re very knowledgeable and you seem very friendly .

I’m going to test both of these models this weekend. Never been in a Mazda in my life. Excited to see the two vehicles

[@yayap5631]

My wife has a Mazda3 and I love it. I traded my focus for a CX5 so my wife can have and I took her mazda3. We love the CX5 so much. We're always like, you drove last time, it my turn. Haha. Love the signature red as well. Mazdas are awesome.

[@vickimiller9242]

Thanks so much for the informative video! I just bought a red 2020 CX-30 Preferred package two weeks ago, and there's much to learn because of all the features it comes with! I was also worried about buyer's remorse because I really like the CX-5, too, so I appreciate you walking through their differences. The 5 has some nice added features (power lift gate and rear charging ports), but I think the 30 looks a little sportier. You convinced me that I made the right choice. Thanks again!

[@CARMINE_YT]

Hi Jonathan, How well does infant car seating fit in the CX-30? I am about 5’6 and was wondering if it would be too tight for an infant car seat. I’ve seen that boosters and forward facing car seats fit Ok.

[@reoraymundo6803]

Jonathan, pls let me know if i really need to get the mazda battery from the dealership? I'm a CX5 owner, model 2019, their reason is the "I Stop" capability for us owners to buy from them! When their price of this battery is 4x more expensive than the same battery if i get it from outside dealers! Pls let me know, appreciate it very much

[@ZeroSystem81]

Hey, what color is on the CX 30?

[@bryce3956]

Thanks for the video. Does it feel like you’re sitting up higher in cx5 compared to cx30? Thanks

[@JSS]

Yes the seat positioning is higher and the higher windows in CX5 give that extra feeling also.

[@flyers10az]

Thoughts on the knob non-touchscreen infotainment? Hard to adjust to?

[@JSS]

It is easy to adjust to, and real easy to use. There are a few things I don’t like about it, like changing radio stations. All in all it’s good, and no problem without a touchscreen.

[@TheHardik112]

I really want to get CX30 but I hate the blue interior and Wht really sucks is that in order to get different interior you have to get a top trim

[@JSS]

Well...great news for you...The last order cycle the blue interior was replaced with black. I’m not sure if Mazda execs heard you, or maybe many others also. So in a couple of months there will be black interior instead of blue. I have one ordered. So you can get a CX-30! 👍🏻

[@TheSparker13]

At 2:15 you say the CX-30 has 7" of ground clearance, but the Mazda site says it has 8", or 1/2" MORE than the CX-5, not 1/2" LESS than the CX-5.

[@JSS]

I’m not sure if they changed the measurements or not. I know they updated the trim comparison, but not sure. I’ll check the cars tomorrow.

[@ZeroSystem81]

You have more space in the CX5

[@Rinanathar]

Inspired

[@lisaw7633]

Shouldn't heated side mirrors be standard? Hope to see an extra usb port in the rear of the CX30 in 2021. I love this vehicle. Time to trade the Kia :)

[@JSS]

Heated side mirrors are apparently deemed a necessary option in countries other than the US. I’m sure more USBs will continue to be added in the coming years.

[@vitalyromas6752]

Thank you for this comparison. Really informative to have these to cars close to each other. CX5 is too large, to much extra space, outdating interior. CX30 is way more balanced, no extra space and it make the interior cozy. It is a nice option for the coupe and hatchback lovers who got the possibility to try a balance between design and practicality. I prefer CX30 despite the fact that CX5 has a bit higher speed in successful moose test.

[@JSS]

I can’t wait for the CX5 to get some updates that the CX30 has.

[@Karthik1516]

@@JSS Yes Jonathan. We are in the market for a second vehicle. If I buy right now, I would pick a CX 30. But, curious if 2021 CX5 will get the CX30 updates.

[@JSS]

@@Karthik1516 Not that I'm aware of. I don't expect the display changes until the next refresh or generation change on the Mazda CX-5

[@balicat2]

I am aging out of a 07 Mazda 3 (now retired). Low miles and still love driving it. Just hubby and me I'm not worried about lack of comfort in back seat. Looking forward to test driving both these models in 2021 versions. Betting the CX-30 is just what I was looking for. I do want something taller as we age into this vehicle. I was pretty much sold on a Crosstrek but I am a Mazda gal since 1980 and the reviews for Mazda have been very very good. Chances are I've never owned a Subaru - most likely never will. Thanks Jonathan Sewell for a nice comparison video!

[@HM-lk3pq]

I prefer to buy Mazda’s that are made in Japan not Mexico. Great video Mr. Sewell 👍🏼

[@JSS]

Thank you. I’m not sure if some areas of US gets Mazda3 or CX-30 from Japan or not. My memory tells me our first models were from Japan, but I can’t remember exactly.

[@senoucisenouci5605]

Mazda cx3 and mazda 3 made in japan

[@ani_ds12]

CX 30 is made in Mexico and CX 5 in Japan. Having bought a CX 30 a year ago almost, didn't notice any issues absolutely. With all the lines now being automated, doesn't matter much where it is being manufactured these days. The only issue is with one of the wheels that it has some defects with they being horribly balanced

[@samjam6989]

@@ani_ds12 it actually matters where a car is being made. Cars made in japan are inspected more throughly and more time is spent on them versus cars made in mexico. All assembly lines maybe automated but tge inspections and standards are much higher in Japan.

[@alexivanov7340]

Is the display recessed into the dash on the CX-30? Does that block information?

[@JSS]

The center display is recessed and turned toward the driver. You are able to see all the information.

[@alexivanov7340]

@@JSS thanks, being 6ft tall, it shouldn't cause a problem. I look forward to test driving one soon.

[@ChristopherAllanmedium]

I test drove both today. Can anyone explain why the CX5 drove more smoother and more cushiony than the CX30. I was under the impression they are very similar engine wise. I really had my sights on the CX30 until I liked the feel of the CX5 better. Really curious why.

[@JSS]

Yes, they have the exact same powertrain so shifting/acceleration should be identical. A couple of thoughts why the drive was different. What size wheels were on the test drive vehicles? Also, the CX-5 does have more sound dampening materials that could give the feeling of different. Also the wheelbase abs track is longer/wider on the CX-5 offering a more well-positioned vehicle.

[@PrincessUSP]

I felt the same way! I'm considering CX-30 because I don't really need more cargo/rear seat space. Plus CX-30 imo has better infotainment and comes with remote start. But the CX-5 drove better. So I'm now confused between the two. Which one you ended up buying?

[@ChristopherAllanmedium]

@@PrincessUSP I actually havent gotten a new car yet but 100% def going with the CX30 when the turbo version comes out because the interior is so much nicer and I dont like driving what everybody else has (Cx5) lol and the 3rd time I test drove it, the ride was very similar to CX5 and I’m sure the turbo +hp will def make up for everything with me.

[@kathiwearne]

I bought the cx30 turbo premium plus after driving the cx5 signature....I personally liked driving the cx30 better.

[@_suki_]

I had a similar experience; cx30 is probably what I need but cx5 felt better. Gonna go for another test drive, May be the elevated seats🤔

[@pjkobe2706]

CX5、CX30 👍

[@Buhry4nnn]

Hey Jon. Im thinking of 2020 Mazda CX5 AWD Grand Touring with GT package. Is an OTD of $34,000 fair? That is factoring in the current car market?

[@JSS]

That sounds fair. It really depends on your state’s tax rate.

[@ZeroSystem81]

I've drive an CX 5 with the top version. It's absolutely worth every penny! The Price-performance ratio is fair.

[@Karthik1516]

It is OK price. But, now you can get even lower.

[@rockiemountin7535]

Karthik Sankar how much for OTD signature CX five

[@charlesa1234]

Is the Mazda CX-3 the entry level crossover and not the CX-30?

[@JSS]

Yes the CX-3 is still let of the lineup. The CX-30 being new design and on newer platform has definitely taken most sales away.

[@colingee6687]

The CX3 will be phased out next year for the new electric CX50.

[@yaseminakdeniz7327]

What is leatherette?

[@SerapErdal]

fake leather -- synthetic material made from vinyl or some type of plastic

[@JSS]

It is simulated. More Eco friendly, less cost, cooler in summer, and more resistant to cracking/creasing.

[@jamesward9646]

We used to call it “Vinyl” hot in the summer and cold in the winter! 🤪

[@rockiemountin7535]

James Ward A nice way of saying vinyl

[@somaticHuman]

CX5 This is a micro car. How did they think of making even less space in the back in CX30 )) I just don't understand what they are doing. What difference does it make to how these cars drive if there is no room in them.

[@JSS]

They are making cars that are popular in the industry right now. The CX-30 has a lot more space than the CX-3. That’s an improvement.

[@oliviamathis3417]

I drive from the front. Plenty of room for me! :-)

Many says Mazda built their cars priority for driving xperience and ownship...

It fits my 29" wheel MTB in the back without turning the wheel. It might be possible to use the middle (four passengers) by taking the front wheel off (thus a 2 bike hitch and a 3rd bike in the vehicle).

I would strongly recommend not buying a Mazda. We purchased a brand new Mazda CX9 and within 2 years had problems with a rough idle. Was told after second year it just needed new spark plug wires. Dealer could never recreate rough idle. 4 years later we took it in for an oil change and was told the cylinder head was leaking coolant.....Cylinder heads on back order for two months due to known problem of leaking. the only solution was either a refurbished engine or New engine from dealer. Warranty just expired but dealer and Mazda just says sorry either return your loaner car or replace the engine at your cost! Horrible experience......$4600.00 lesson learned. Please do yourself a favor and do not purchase a $40,000 car from Mazda only to have to purchase a $4600.00 engine in less than 4 years and trade in value now only $14,000 after new engine. NEVER again!
