What features does the Mazda CX-30 have?

Being a small SUV, the CX-30 appeals to a wide range of people because it’s practical, easy to drive and park, and stylish. 

Inside, the CX-30 takes it up a notch as it begins to rival the likes of Mercedes and BMW. It does this by using soft-touch materials and offering a large 8.8-inch infotainment screen. 

Aside from this, all models come as standard with a seven-inch driver’s display that replaces the analogue dials of yesteryear.  

Basic SE-L trim features grey fabric seats, but move up to the GT models and you get a full leather interior. 

All models come with a sat-nav as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. 

Is the Mazda CX-30 reliable?

Mazda is known for making reliable cars, and the CX-30 is well-built, comes with some reliable engines and is affordable to maintain. 

Every brand-new Mazda comes with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty that can be extended to a five-year/60,000-mile warranty. This can also be transferred to a second owner, increasing the appeal of buying a nearly-new model. 

The CX-30 scored a full five-star rating in its most recent Euro NCAP crash-test, offering superb adult and child occupant safety. 

This is thanks to some great safety systems such as Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), rear ISOFIX child seat mounting points, and a plethora of airbags throughout. 

How much does the Mazda CX-30 cost to run?

The Mazda CX-30 comes with a choice of two petrol engines. Both are 2.0-litre, four-cylinder units, with one producing 122hp and the other 186hp. 

Both offer Mazda’s clever Skyactiv-X technology, which promises up to 30% more performance and 20-30% more fuel efficiency than the older Skyactiv engines. 

This means fuel costs are kept to a minimum and you have plenty of poke for coming out of junctions or overtaking, regardless of whether you have a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox. 

Mazda claims these engines will get in the region of 40-50mpg depending on the configuration and how it’s driven. 

Being an affordable family car, you want it to be reasonable to insure – and it is, sitting between insurance groups 12 and 20. For reference, the lower the number below 50, the cheaper the car is to insure. 

Maintenance costs are low too, with the CX-30 offering impeccable build quality and tried-and-tested engines.   

Who is the Mazda CX-30 suitable for?

A used Mazda CX-30 is best-suited to small families or working professionals who like to sit high up on the road, need a practical car and appreciate strong fuel economy. 

With its comfortable interior and punchy engines, this small Mazda SUV is all you need to ferry around four people comfortably while still benefitting from a well-sized 430-litre boot.
