Mazda does not build many cars like the Mazda CX-30: a 5-door SUV with Petrol engine, built from 2019 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Its designer of record is Ryo Yanagisawa.
The story
The Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Mazda. Based on the fourth-generation Mazda3, it debuted at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, to slot in between the CX-3 and the CX-5. It went on sale in Japan on 24 October 2019, with global units being produced at Mazda's Hiroshima factory, North and South American units built in Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico, Thailand and initial Australian units made at the AutoAlliance Thailand plant in Rayong, and China-market units produced in Nanjing by Changan Mazda.
What is underneath
Under the skin sits Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 1380 –. The gearbox is a 6-speed Skyactiv#Skyactiv-MT / Skyactiv-MT Manual transmission / manual (1.8 L & 2.0 L) / 6-speed Skyactiv#Skyactiv-Drive / Skyactiv-Drive Automatic transmission / automa. The wheelbase is 2655 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Mazda's history is not in doubt: the Mazda CX-3 (North America and Europe) came before it. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Porsche Taycan, the Tesla Model Y, the Kia EV6. Nearby in the Mazda catalogue sit the Mazda BT-50 and the Mazda T2000.
The money
On the used market today a Mazda CX-30 typically changes hands for $17,600–$38,900, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $2,724–$3,830 a year. Insurance sits around $1,370–$2,250 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
