Top 5 Reasons to Buy the 2023 Mazda CX-30

The Mazda CX-30 is a small-size SUV that’s perfect for those that want something bigger and more practical than a subcompact sedan, but not have to deal with the bulkiness of the mid or full-size cross-over category. But practicality doesn’t have to be boring, especially on Mazda’s watch. So here are the top 5 reasons why the Mazda CX0-30 might be the best fit for you.

#1 Small and Practical

As mentioned, the CX-30 fits the bill for anyone that needs a smaller form factor, but in a 5-door cross-over SUV package that will fulfill their daily lives. It also sits slightly higher than a sedan, so it makes getting in and out of the car and overall access to the trunk space a whole lot easier. And because of its cross-over form factor, more cargo space is made available in the trunk bed perfect for your weekend camping getaway.

#2 Aesthetics Aesthetics Aesthetics!

One of the reasons why Mazda is amongst the most popular brand amongst car enthusiasts is its clean design and aesthetics. From inside out, Mazda follows their in-house Kodo design concept that follows sleek, smooth and visually pleasing contours inside out.

The CX-30 doesn’t cheap out on quality either. On the higher Carbon Edition / Premium trims, the interior cabin is lined with leather amongst other high quality materials such as brushed aluminum, soft padded vinyl materials, high-grade lacquer finished plastic trim finishing. All of which not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but soft and pristine to the touch.

#3 Tech and Safety Features

Amongst many cars that we test drive, the Mazda Connect infotainment system is one of our favorites. The system features an 8.8″ wide-aspect ratio infotainment screen controlled by a push-dial control knob conveniently located on the enter console. The system is not only smooth and responsive, but the graphical user interface is very well designed that not only for intuitive to use, but blends in well with the overall aurora of the clean and quiet interior cabin space

#4 The Powertrain

Remember that zoom-zoom driving ad back in the early 2000’s. Despite decades ago, Mazda never gave the keys to building exceptionally fun and and engaging cars to drive, and the Mazda CX-30 is no exception. On our higher Turbo tester model, the 250 horsepower engine not only delivers quick and smooth acceleration, but overall driving experience can be described and thrilling and engaging especially around corners. Oh, and that sweet engine tone adds that final cherry on the top.

#5 Value for the Money

A well-equipped model, say the Premium trim comes priced in at $33,365, which isn’t exactly bargain-basement pricing. But considering that quality and aesthetics you get everything from the well-crafted exterior, and luscious interior, the Mazda CX-30 is a great buyer’s choice who wants practicality, comfort, and a fun and engaging driving experience.

Final Thoughts

Mazda has always been amongst one of our favorite brands to test drive.  What makes them unique on our books, is their commitment towards perfection, and that takes time.  That means, the Mazda might not have the latest fashion trends, or unique/impressive tech features, but it will certainly be a car that you will know and love for many years to come.
