Since the brand’s inception, Mazda has been known for building fun, good-looking, and affordable cars. Models such as the MX-5 Miata and the RX-7 are legendary for how they look, drive, and handle. Fortunately, Mazda hasn’t forgotten its sporty roots, and still bakes some sportiness into each model. The model we’ll be looking at today, the CX-30, is no exception. The compact SUV space isn’t exactly known for being the most exciting car segment, but this small Mazda proves that you don’t need a coupe or convertible to have fun. With a selection of responsive engines as powerful as 250 hp, drivers can have a blast on the highway or carving up twisty roads.
Another area this vehicle excels in is looks and features, both inside and out. As with the rest of the Mazda lineup, the CX-30 is stunning, designed with the brand’s signature “Kodo" design language in mind. The back of the car looks muscular and ready to move, and the front has elegant yet aggressive narrowed headlights. Inside, the theme of luxury and sportiness continues. A German car-inspired knob controls the infotainment system, which features connectivity convenience features such as Apple CarPlay, allowing drivers to stay connected safely at all times. Finally, the i-Activesense suite of safety features makes this one of the safest cars on the road. Drivers can have the peace of mind that this car has been designed with the latest technology on the market.
The laundry list of the CX-30’s accolades only continues to reinforce its status as a top pick for the segment. Between the World Car of the Year top 3 finalist ranking, the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) 5 star rating, and the IIHS Top Safety Pick award, many established automotive institutions have put their stamp of approval on this SUV. For anyone in the market for a small SUV that can do it all, look no further than the CX-30.
