2024 Mazda CX-30 TURBO - Do you REALLY need the CX-50?

[@areasevenpro]

CX-30 owner here since 2020. Best daily driver I've ever owned.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

I really hope Mazda makes a Made in Japan Spirit Racing CX-30, Mazda's take on a Kona N. There's a Spirit Racing Mazda 3 coming but I need more ground clearance for harsh winters and roads and I'd like to get similar handling but on a CX-30. Or a CX-30 hybrid would be great too using the same hybrid system as the Corolla Cross and same Alabama factory.

I love the CX-30, but I hate the black plastic cladding. I hope they completely get rid of the cladding.

[@brytonmunro5270]

Within its price point, they all have cladding. In the upper trims Mazda has paint matched cladding.

[@GregHall-v1n]

@@ruzzelladrian907 NOT gonna happen. It's competing against the Crosstrek.

Good proportions. Broken up by black under arches and sill.

[@GregHall-v1n]

Mazdas design is their niche. If it was designed bigger and space efficient there would be no noticeable difference between them and Toyota, Hyundai, Honda etc. So buyers understand that. They know Mazda is gonna be more stylish and likely at the cost of space. It sets them apart from their competition.

Mazdas drive way better

You should be lucky in America. You have the 2.5L Turbo with 250Horses. In Europe it´s only the 2.0L X-Motor with 186Horses and 6MT. It´s great but i would like to have an 2.5L Turbo here in Germany. Mazda will never send us to Europe such an wonderful Car!!!!! Never ever.

[@bellini2535]

Indeed. Why can't Mazda make something like the 6-seater Hyundai Alcazar? That compact size with 6 seats. Big rear doors like that. USB and vents for all rows. That package with Mazda's Skyactiv-X drivetrain.

NICE CAR

[@Unchainedmaple888]

I just wish the headliner was black instead of beige. The beige is just super tacky and cheap looking yet Mazda is trying to go more premium. Even a grey headliner would've been nicer. The beige just doesn't match anything. When Mazda refreshes the CX-30, I hope they don't mess with the front end design. I like this sharper more aggressive grill vs the more rounded and generic grills of new Mazda's like the CX-90

[@GregHall-v1n]

@Unchainedmaple888 They tried black headliners in the 3. People complained that it felt claustrophobic...a lot of reviewers too.

[@ubiased23]

Six speed automatic? It should be 8 speed automatic since most cars have them right now.

[@RobertCekus]

Yes you´re right. It should be but it isn´t!!!!

[@ubiased23]

@@RobertCekus okay, calm down

[@bellini2535]

What for? Complications for nothing. The 6 speed is adequate, lighter and you'll appreciate the reasonable repair and maintenance.The reviewer has just commended Mazda for not necessarily following the herd and doing things without a proper reason. Just because others are.
