The 2023 Mazda CX-30 is an extra-small crossover SUV and one of the best-driving and most premium vehicles in its class. Slot between the diminutive Mazda CX-3 and the larger CX-5, the CX-30 drives and feels more like a hatchback than it does an SUV. That’s because it shares much underneath the sheet metal and from behind the wheel with the Mazda 3, one of Edmunds’ favorite compacts. Since the CX-30 is only a few years old at this point, we don’t expect Mazda to introduce any significant changes for 2023. Last year’s updates included standard all-wheel drive. It might sound like a contradiction, but the CX-30 is one of the largest extra-small SUVs around. That means decent passenger and cargo space with a smaller footprint and better fuel economy than a larger model. It’s surprisingly fun to drive, too, especially with its available turbocharged engine. While we wouldn’t call it luxurious, the interior has an upscale design and feel that you won’t find in other compacts. In other words, the CX-30 feels like a small SUV, not a cheap one. There are plenty of competitors in this segment, with strong offerings including the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Encore GX, Subaru Crosstrek, and Volkswagen Taos. There’s not a bad vehicle in the bunch, though nothing in this class looks, feels, or drives like the CX-30. It may not have class-leading tech or the best fuel economy, but this Mazda is pretty fantastic when you consider the total package.
The CX-30’s standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder en. gine with 186 horsepower which is paired with a six-speed automatic which chooses gears wisely based on driving conditions. A turbocharged 2.5-liter engine is optional and provides 250 horsepower. If you’re a fan of the Mazda 3 hatchback, which we are, you’ll find the CX-30 just as nimble, athletic, and fun to drive. Its crisp steering and fluid body movements make it a pleasure to pilot on a twisty road and provide a sense of stability when cruising. At our test track, the CX-30 dawdled to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, slower than rivals such as the turbocharged Kona but much quicker than other non-turbocharged SUVs such as the Nissan Rogue Sport and the Subaru Crosstrek. A CX-30 with the optional turbocharged engine delivered substantially quicker acceleration times and managed a 5.8-second zero-to-60-mph time. The 2022 CX-30 has a handsome, well-crafted interior; it’s shared with that of the Mazda 3, which we love. An infotainment display sprouts from the center of the dashboard and is controlled by a rotary knob on the center console; a row of climate-control buttons divide the upper and lower dash panels. Buyers can choose between either an eight- or 12-speaker audio system and can upgrade to available heated front seats. Going with the top-spec Premium trim adds leather upholstery, a power-operated rear liftgate, and other luxury items that put the CX-30 in contention with luxury-brand offerings such as the Lexus UX and the Mini Countryman. As far as cargo-carrying capability goes, the CX-30 isn’t the most voluminous SUV you can buy, but we did fit six carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats and 16 in total with the rear seats folded. The CX-30 comes with a standard 8.8-inch screen and Mazda Connected Services, which allows owners to lock and unlock, remote start, and monitor their vehicle through the MyMazda app. The CX-30 also is equipped with standard Bluetooth, two front USB inputs, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Available features include Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and SiriusXM satellite radio. There are several impressive standard driver-assistance features that come on the CX-30, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, and automated emergency braking. Available optional features include a head-up display and blind-spot monitoring.
