Mazda CX-30 Turbo | It's Too Premium For You

We review the new 2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo to discuss the changes to the CUV and how it handles the extra power. If you want to learn about the details, good and bad we cover it. The Nissan Rogue, Hyundai Venue, Subaru Crosstrek, and Honda HRV are the popular model alternatives. However, Mazda has pushed the CX-30 far more upscale; will the extra cost bother shoppers?

"Its just you and your... whoever you're with." Good save mark, almost had to set down my latte and open Twitter.

Savagegeese is the Mazda CX-30 of auto reviews. Smooth, relaxing, kinda small in size, but big on adult friendly performance.

I bought a CX-30 Turbo, Soul Red Crystal Metallic. You reinforced my impressions. I’m coming from an Accord Sport. I didn’t need a new car, the Accord appears to have amazing longevity, it continues looking good for years, and it can bring me smiles when it hangs on tight to a highway on-ramp. But I want the convenience of a hatchback. We do still get snow here in Virginia. I’ve replaced all four ContiSport tires as each experienced a blowout on the sidewall when hitting a pothole. I even had to replace a rim for that. Now I’m moving to another city where the roads are in even worse shape, so I appreciate the higher ride height of the CX-30 and the taller sidewalks should be more durable. I didn’t love this car until it got the turbo. Now it has the power of a hot-hatch if I want it without the nervousness, and I get to enjoy the prettiest interior this side of an Audi and an exterior that has that Jaguar-like front end along with complex curves. I this this car will still look beautiful in 10 years. So I brought one home. Thank you for the review.

The base model CX-30, starting at $22k, seems like a huge value for what you get. 16" wheels will be durable, and those large sidewall tires cheap to replace. The tried and tested n/a 2.5L is great, plenty powerful, and will go forever. I've convinced a friend to buy a brand new one.

Savagegeese is so good at car reviews I’m watching a Mazda SUV review that I wouldn’t ever click on with any other channel

[paranoidhumanoid]

What I love about the underrated Mazda brand that's lacking in other major automakers is the consistency and focus in their design language across all their vehicles. When you look at a Mazda, you KNOW it's a Mazda. The styling of the interior in this CX-30 is very luxe for its price point. Love the details!

Just bought a 2021 CX-5 in December. Love the interior refresh.

This is perfect for stopping by the vegan bakery after picking up Genevieve from Montessori

The cladding around the wheels is a zonk for me. Ruins the beauty of the car.

Just purchased 2022 CX-30 Turbo Premium Soul Red white interior with 2, 600 miles yesterday. I also test drove the non turbo. If your a "driver" turbo is the only option.
The Adaptive Headlights in conjunction with auto high beams is amazing. Night driving is now lit up like Yankee stadium at all times. Should be mandatory. Would save many lives. Rides like a luxury car. At 80 MPH almost as quiet as a Lincoln Continental. Handles terrific. Plenty of leg room in the rear with the front seats set at the mid-way point. My 6' tall son got in back & his knees were 4" from front seat. Why some dummies get in the rear with the front seats all the way back is beyond me. Bose stereo sounded rich & deep. Oh yeah, zoom freaking zoom!

I cream my jeans just thinking about a 7 door convertible SUV.

[tonyl]

Got one. 2021 AWD turbo. Totally awesome. Had a 2009 3, perfect car. No place to park it, would have kept it. Really pleased. 2 months into it. It’s really a beast with the turbo. Audio with Bose is really good.

[Steven-enuu]

I'm 6-1 and it's comfortable enough in back by moving the front seats up just a little, with plenty of room still up front. Front seat backs are sculpted for knee room and there's plenty of rear foot room. We're recent empty nesters and a hatch is nice. I bought it understanding what sub-compact means. I like it's smaller overall footprint.

[mpolinsk]

I'm currently researching small SUV/CUV options for my mom and I have to point out again that the impeccable reviews you guys do and have been doing for years now have created a backlog of what maybe one of the most useful collections of information on this site. Again, bravo, guys.

Our cafe opens next week how exquisite

"We like the brand because they do try--"

[Josafs]

Oh forgot to mention back in 2020 bought a Mazda CX-5 because of this channel

[MatthewGaither]

I'm trying to talk my wife into going Mazda with her next vehicle and we will definitely be checking out the CX-30. Thanks for the review!
