We'd like to make two points of clarification: (1) the 2.5L engine is also available in FWD form (not just AWD, as stated), and secondly, it's only a $1,600 jump from the Pure automatic to the Evolve automatic, with leather steering wheel. It's a $2,600 jump from the Pure manual to the Evolve, which is only available with an automatic transmission.

The CX-30 looks nice but there is too much plastic on the outside, around the wheel arches and therefore makes it look cheaper
@Lulu-oi9ue3 жыл бұрын
I think it looks great and is practical since it’s an SUV. Few competitors also do large plastic arches for their SUVs so not the only ones doing this design.
@philiplee76043 жыл бұрын
Effectively, $3,000 for a leather steering wheel !… shame on Mazda, should be standard fitment. The base model Suzuki swift gets one as standard, so Mazda Australia, should correct this issue as a priority .As you say, a nice tactile feel from a leather steering wheel just makes the everyday driving experience a pleasure.
@HaseebShafaqat3 жыл бұрын
Its not just that. Obviously other things are included. Most probably dual zone automatic climate control, rear vents, rear cupholders etc
@RMG07853 жыл бұрын
No it's 1600 as Evolve is auto only so need to compare auto to auto pricing. Leather steering, climate control, rear air vents, read sliding armrest with cupholder, auto dimming rear view, passenger seat height adjustment. They acknowledged it too the the comments that the video was wrong.

@damo57013 жыл бұрын
Thanks John, an informative review. After 15 years of driving turbos I wouldn't want to go back to a normally aspirated 4 cylinder. G20 engine is way under powered for my personal requirements and whilst the G25 would be adequate I would still like more grunt. If Mazda Australia had managed to bring in the turbo, available in some other markets, I would already have purchased a CX-30; a really nice package let down by the engines imo. X20 seems a bit pointless, doesn't offer much more grunt nor significant fuel economy improvements for the price premium.
