Reviewer score 66% (normalized by Neofiliac)Mazda’s CX-30 is a handsome, if not particularly lofty crossover. All models get lashings of leatherette on the dashboard, plenty of squishy plastics and controls that have a pleasing precision to them. Rear space is less impressive as head and especially leg room are tight. Boot space trails the class best and there are no clever features to boost practicality.
Pros
- Powerful engine
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment
Cons
- Rear space is tight for a six-footer
autoexpress[2]
Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Mazda CX-30 is a well-rounded premium compact SUV. Interior build quality surpasses the majority of its mainstream rivals. There is only one body style available, and that is a five-door SUV shape. All trim levels and engines are available with either a manual or an automatic gearbox.
Pros
- High-quality interior
- Fantastic infotainment system
- Good standard equipment
Cons
- No automatic gearbox
- Lack of standard equipment
carmagazine[3]
Reviewer score 53% (normalized by Neofiliac)Mazda's new 2.0-litre normally aspirated engine uses a clever compression ignition system that is supposed to give it petrol-like performance and diesel-esque frugality. Peak power comes in at a heady 6,000 rpm, so the engine needs revving hard to get any momentum. The most fuel efficient Skyactiv-X records a WLTP figure of 45.6mpg. Ride and refinement are good, with a generally softer ride than a Mazda 3 hatch.
Pros
- Well-resolved interior
- Comfortable to drive
- Good standard equipment
Cons
- Lacklustre petrol engine
- Lack of torque

Reviewer score 62% (normalized by Neofiliac)Mazda CX-30 comes with the choice of two petrol engines, both 2.0-litres in size. The first is a 122hp four-cylinder, while the other is a 180hp diesel engine. The cabin is decently spacious up front, but rear leg room is pretty tight. Getting into and out of the back seat requires more contortion that we'd like.
Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Lots of standard equipment
Cons
- Ride quality is a little on the rough side
- Alternatives are more fun to drive

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)All CX-30s get a Mazda Connect infotainment system with an 8.8-inch center display. There are only two USB ports and a 12-volt outlet up front, with no power points within easy reach of passengers in back. The 2.5-liter naturally aspirated I4 makes 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Pros
- G-Vectoring tech
- Powerful engine
- Comfortable ride
Cons
- Lack of infotainment features
digitaltrends[6]
Reviewer score 79% (normalized by Neofiliac)Despite its airy interior, this is still a small compact crossover. The rear seats can handle adults, but not without pushing the front seats forward. The CX-30 is mid-pack in overall volume, which might be a problem if you make frequent trips to Ikea. Mazda has made adaptive cruise control and LED headlights standard on all trims.
Pros
- Sleek interior
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- No touchscreen
- Lack of safety features
