2021 Mazda CX 30 Turbo Review // Mazda going up market

[@Nikiaf]

I traded in my Audi for a fully loaded Mazda3 and I regret absolutely nothing. More tech, better interior quality, and significantly less expensive! I think I'm done with the German luxury brands, the Japanese know how to achieve a superior result at a lower price point.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@tuxiekins]

Andrea/Zack. This is the review I’ve been waiting for Tku! I represent that “mature” audience you mentioned . I currently drive an A3 and these NY potholes have been killing me 😖. My current tires are 225/40 R18. I need a crossover that can better handle the rough roads here. YOUR OPINION on this point is welcome. We are empty nesters so the smaller size itself wouldn’t be a problem. Also like the style more than on the CX-5 as that one is looking dated to me quite honestly. If the CX-30 is not quite up to the task.... can you recommend an alternative ? XC-40 maybe ? I was hoping to not spend that much $ on my next car but also don’t want to kick myself later for going too “cheap”.

[@andreaspencer9813]

@@tuxiekins I think you will really like the CX-30 Turbo. But, I also like the Q3 and GLA if you are interested in Luxury brands. The XC-40 is a great utility, it has a more refined and smooth drive with a quiet cabin. To me, it's not as exciting to drive as the Q3 and GLA, but some buyers prefer that.

[@tuxiekins]

@@andreaspencer9813 Tks for your fast response ! You guys rock !! BTW While waiting at Audi getting 2 tires changed I took the opportunity to sit in a new Q3. I like the Q3 body but the interior ...not so much. Never had a Volvo b4 but that XC-40 looks great in blue/black top. And the seats look super comfy. P.S. Vancouver scenery looks amazing !

[@andreaspencer9813]

@@tuxiekins My pleasure and thank you, glad you like what we are doing. The interior of the Q3 is pretty simple, the Volvo much more luxurious and in line more with the Mercedes-Benz GLA. The Q3 offers a little more space than the Volvo XC40, but if you are looking for a quiet and comfortable ride, the Volvo XC40 is a great utility.

[@navid-kh]

I'm not looking for a car; don't need a car; but ended up spending few hours watching your videos. Love the energy of you two. Great videos!

[@davidswadell8499]

A nice, balanced review, as usual. As "mature enthusiasts," we put our money down in advance more than two months ago for the fully loaded Premium Plus Turbo US version after driving the standard CX30 and the turbo Mazda 3. Closest competitor for us was the Audi Q3, but we preferred the Mazda for looks (inside and out), performance, reliability, and FUN. And the price differential -- 10 to 20 percent less than comparable competitors from Audi, BMW, and Volvo -- doesn't hurt a bit. Plus, that difference in cost only increases over time given the rapid depreciation of the "premium" brands. We've had the car for more than a month now and are very pleased with it. True, the back seat and cargo space are a bit less than some of the competition, but that's why we have an Outback. In short, the CX30 Turbo is a surprisingly sporty car that can handle unpaved roads MUCH better than our GTI but that's almost as fun to drive. Mazda hit a home run with this one!

[@andreaspencer9813]

That's awesome, congratulations on your new CX-30 Turbo. Thanks for sharing this, we really appreciate it.

[@clarkdowdall09]

Pretty similar situation for me! I cross shopped the 3 Turbo with the MB A220 & the Audi A3 and for the money the 3 premium plus blows the other 2 away. The MB is almost double the price for the same equipment. Sorry I didn’t wait for the CX30 now! Enjoy the car man!

[@AngelJLBap]

Have two kids bought this for a daily and have zero problems with room… bought it used 2021 with only 13,000 miles on it in pearl white🤍 $21,000 and loving every second… i love cars, but wanted something a little more fuel efficient for a daily didnt want a CVT this was the most practical choice for the money, im enjoying the drive experience way more than i thought i would…my Aunt who has a Porsche SUV thought this was a Mercedes when i pulled up😂 …my fun car is a charger r/t and doing some mods on it… This zippy thing has been perfect so far and i think it looks luxury over all the non-luxury brands in this class

[@Kaldryf]

We're a bit torn between this CX-30 and a CX-5. My wife loves the look of the CX-30, but with a teenager at home, the extra space in the back of the CX-5 is really appealing. What's great is that my wife was looking at the XC40 and the Q3, but this comes in about $15k less for the same level of equipment.

[@dominickwilliams3504]

Buy Cx5. You love your son, right Dont stunt his growth or make him deformed by having to endure CX30, nice to look at but tight rear quarters, with gun slit windows. CX30 is bitch and pretty at the same time. Lol

[@andreaspencer9813]

[@williamr4053]

I’m driving a CX30 as a courtesy vehicle, while my 2009 Mazda 6 is having recall work performed, and I’m very impressed with the CX30. I agree with the gentleman though, the lack of backseat room was a dealbreaker for me, even though I don’t have backseat passengers often. There’s literally just no room. If they took everything from the CX30 and put it in the CX5, I believe it would be the perfect vehicle. I’m not a fan of the CX5 push button lock on the door handle. They’re susceptible to water getting in and creating door actuator issues. I have that same problem on my 2009 Mazda 6. The Mazda CX30 appears to not have that problem. If I could truly go without the backseat space, I would tell everyone to buy the CX30. It’s a very nice vehicle, and quite honestly, really surprised me with everything you get in the preferred trim level for around $28k.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Yes, the backseat is tight!

[@patrickmichael3384]

This and the 3 Turbo are my FAVs of today’s Mazdas.

[@Mary_305]

Love it ! I test drove the Mazda CX30 and CX-5 today , but like the CX30 better. Thanks for sharing

[@nycp1969]

This is a very inspiring endorsement of Mazda. I recently bought a CX-3 and I love it. Maybe I should've waited for the CX-30, which seems to be a bit more luxurious. Either way, you seem to share my view that Mazda has more in common with Audi and Acura than with its bland price point peers, Toyota and Honda. Mazda outclasses the mainstream.

[@wargoose1966]

The huge problem with the 2021 CX-5 and CX-9 (in Canada) is that they did not get the upgrade the US got with the larger 10.25" screen and - more importantly - the new Mazda infotainment system that the CX-30 and current Mazda 3 got (for some reason that upgrade is delayed until 2022 up here). It is so much faster and better looking than the old one that, for that reason alone, I would skip the larger CX-5 unless space was an absolute priority. I also happen to think the design elements of the Mazda 3 and CX-30 are much, much nicer looking than the CX-5.

[@bruceh6900]

true

[@ryanclark9415]

If I was shopping for this class of vehicle, I'd have a hard time passing by the CX-30. This, I feel is the best pick of the class. I like the styling and Interior materials. It also has the most power as well. For 5 to 6k more over the competition in top trim, I feel it's worth the small price increase in payments. I think Mazda has a potential hit on their hands here. Good review you two! 👍

I’m car shopping for my soon to be retiree parents. I had the exact same question RE: CX-30 vs CX-5. In our area with incentives right now, the exact engine and trim CX-5 is actually slightly less money than the CX-30 (both one level up from base in GS trim, both with the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine). I believe we are going with the CX-5. Shout-out to CarCost Canada, it’s been a great service for our car hunt.

In 1991, I was deciding to buy a Toyota Corolla or a Mazda Protege. I ended up buying the Corolla, and within 3 months, the driver's side (electric) window glass came off the track. I knew at that time, I should have bought the Protege. Thirty years later, I bought the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition w/ turbo and AWD.

[@dominickwilliams3504]

CX30 turbo is tuned for more power thru the gears. Even on 87. Mazda put a beefed up rear differential in the Turbo CX30, with more power able to flow rearward. Maybe the 2021 Mazda 3 had also been "tuned up", but I don't think so. Mpg is also better for CX30 turbo than the 3 turbo, although weighting more. Good job Mazda. Now add the cx5 Signature features to the CX30 and 3, to complete your upmarket aspirations across your line up. Cx8 and CX4 turboed to N.A, please

I own Mazda CX 30 turbo since march 2021. And I love it. This engine has more torque than Jeep Cherokee 3.2 V6...320lb/ ft @ 2000 RPM versus 239/4400 RPM...I know first hand since we own both of them...Mazda is quicker and it has better mid range acceleration...ok...I know...Mazda CX 30 is lighter than the Jeep...but Jeep has a 9 speed transmission versus Mazda's 6...no issues with either one of them...but 6 speed is more than likely less expensive to replace than 9 speed (a friend of mine had issues with hers 9 speed transmissions ad was told by the dealership that replacement cost for 9 speed is about $10 000. And the 8 or 9 gear is achieved at high speeds like 160kms or higher .I don't find my Mazda (I drive it) transmission is hunting for gears or shudders. When you press gas pedal it just go for it...no fuss ....mid range acceleration is almost in diesel territory (for all of you that ever driven diesels). I love Mazda's steering with G-vectoring..quite precise and weighted well (to my taste). All wheel drive? 2 days ago I drove it in quite bad snow storm with 2-3 cm accumulation for probably 60 kilometers...veritable whiteouts...never...not ones ...felt the seepages (and no winter tires on), or AWD kicking in or out. Very impressed Mazda. Since Mazda CX30 does not have ground clearance to go on serious off roading, Jeep is better option...but my Mazda hit a lot of sweet spots for me...I don't care about smaller back seat clearance (only me and my wife), shorter body length means more space in my garage...i love responsiveness and a sporty feeling even though it does sometime feels a too hard on very rough roads.

And on top of that, the front turn signals are barely noticeable since they also function as DRLs. Check it out at 15:00. Even if you look specifically for them and head on, you can barely see them indicate! It's almost a road hasard at this point!

I think you missed the #1 cross-shopped vehicle to this in the Subaru Crosstrek (2.5L) even though the engine compares more directly with the Mazda in non -turbo form.

I actually like the black rims, especially on CX-30s with black cladding it jives. However, I am still thinking twice about the Cx-30s because we live here in Montreal, and has awful bumpy roads and that its suspension isn't that smooth as many would claim. Also, another downer for me is the small infotainment display. But I really liked the over-all style and appearance of Cx-30 and excited to test drive it in the near future and see what people are talking about with driving dynamics. Also my other choices, would be Cx5, Crosstrek or Rogue.

Love your reviews, and the Canadian content. I put in in S for SUBSCRIBE right off the bat. Thanks!

[@dominickwilliams3504]

CX30 turbo should have gloss black outside giant plastic trim. Yes the rims do disappear with CX30 giant trim black trim. Needs the 19rims and tires from 2014 Mazda 6 GT. front brakes from 2007 CX7 turbo.

[@adrianbullaoit1866]

I agree about the brown interior. We have multiple children and any vehicle that takes away the bench (instead of making captain chairs optional) or comes with only a brown/white interior in the trim we want immediately gets crossed off the list.

Take a drink every time he interrupts her

I've always been attracted to the Mazda line but recently have been with Toyota and then Hyundai for price and value. I think that gap is narrowing and Mazda has moved up in my list of preferred cars.

[@thomasalagna9354]

Great review. Not a fan of the thick black trim all over its body. It will start looking faded in a year or less.

[@jasonebrahim3641]

You would think that, but I had a 2016 mazda cx-3 for 5 years and the cladding never faded. I also thought the same with the thick cladding the cx-30 had, but after seeing it in person, it doesn't look bad at all

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you so much, glad you liked the review!

[@MrMustangrick]

agree, it looks dated and does not age well.

[@snowrang3r657]

Excited to see what they do with the new gen Mazda6 and the CX-50 eventually.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

Jazz hands! LOOOL! Zack!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Lol!

[@rob281979]

I wonder why you don't get the ventilated seats in the 3 and the 30? I have them in my cx5 turbo.

[@richarddecicco3288]

Agreed that's a deal breaker for me

[@wilshirewarrior2783]

Mrs Motormouth loves cameras.

[@bond12]

Great Information on the 2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo. What is your opinion on the All New 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV?

[@dominickwilliams3504]

S L O W. C V T JUNK WITH 181 HP AND 3700LBS. Nice design, different. Jazzy interior. All let down by engine and trans. Ooh well, people with bad credit keeps Mitsubishi USA alive.

[@10OF9OFBORG]

Awesome guys! CX30 is beautiful. But no touchscreen is not a good one. I laughed when Andrea said “Jack it up and Zack said That’s the way it is. 😆 P.S. This video has closed caption. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Motormouth...]

Thanks for watching!

[@10OF9OFBORG]

@@Motormouth... You are very welcome! 👍🏻

[@andreaspencer9813]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! So happy the closed caption is back, yay!

[@AURORA50]

Excited about he 3 & 9 heated steering wheel? My 2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.6T Ltd has 80% of wheel heated as well as front and rear heated seats!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Great value! I am a little surprised my Mazda's decision on this.

[@dominickwilliams3504]

Mazda is barely in 1993. Key features for N.American markets

[@dominickwilliams3504]

True, lol. Manual drivers seat in top Mamzda cx30. FAIL!!!

[@adamnevis7636]

Awesome review 👏👌 what are Jazz hands? 🤣 I love the black wheels! How tall are you? Back seat looks small.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! Zack is 6 feet tall and the back seat is small.

[@dominickwilliams3504]

Mazda CX30 needs minimum 3" added to wheelbase. Then add 2" to rear. See: Mazda Cx8

[@eleanormassaro5195]

It's used in a type of jazz dance in classical dance training:)

[@grantboucher9342]

youz guys are good! i watch alex as well

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you!

[@paulwhittemore4309]

Great review, but Zach--stop interrupting Andrea, man!

[@Motormouth...]

You must be single...

[@WanderingAroundAZ]

Andrea doesn’t strike me as the type of woman that can’t hold her own.

[@smallstudiodesign]

Considering they’re following a point by point scripted review ... I saw it more a back and forth between the two ... nobody interrupted anyone. He went “... whoa whoa whoa ...” once to interrupt because he forgot something ...

[@jamesdavis6036]

Don't worry, she's gonna dump him like yesterday's news!

[@Mrsaittout]

I really like your « night life moment » 👏👏👏

[@clayz1]

The back seat area in the CX-30 is like the back seat in some sports cars or extended cab pickup trucks. It’s sort of Why Bother. Except when you need the seat(s) in a pinch, the back seat is not why you get one of these cars. The shouldn’t even advertise four seater except for children. That said, mine is ordered and on its way.

[@darrenoriley2947]

Stupid question, what if you used “mid” grade fuel? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@effa114]

Great question! Motoman had an interview with Dave Coleman from Mazda in his coverage of the CX-30 Turbo, and the answer is “somewhere in between”. The engine doesn’t detect octane, but looks out for any sign of knock, and adjusts itself based on that. The output is also temperature and elevation dependent, so the engine figures out what it can get away with, essentially, and gives you that.

[@buchajo]

The torque remains at 300+ lb-ft torque regardless of grade of gasoline used. Torque is what puts you back into your seat when you nail the accelerator. I think regardless it’s going to be a good driving experience.....

[@dennishoshowsky8692]

Nice ride. Do the rear seats fold down? Any chance there's a tow hitch available?

[@davidrome6066]

If the CX30 turbo comes to Australia 🇦🇺 I’ll trade my 2019 Mazda 3 Astina hatch in for it.

[@andreaspencer9813]

So fun!
