2020 Mazda CX-30 Review - Better Than A Mazda 3?

2020 Mazda CX-30 Review by The Straight Pipes. The Mazda CX-30 is all new with the same 2.5L 4cyl from the Mazda 3 pumping out 186hp and 186lb ft tq. At $33,850 CAD, would this be your pick over the Hyundai Kona, Toyota C-HR, Honda HR-V, Subaru Crosstrek?

Thanks for the help filming Mark, Chuck and Sandra.

Would you take this over a Mazda 3? How about a Hyundai Kona, Toyota C-HR, Honda HR-V, Subaru Crosstrek?

That hill climb is actually impressive

Not going to lie, some of those unsubscribed viewings are mine from when I'm at work and I can't log into my normal account 😊

For my bosses, disregard all of the above. Nothing but productivity here.

Here's why CUV:
1. It's easier to get in and out of
2. It's easier to load things in and out of (including babies)
3. It provides better visibility on the road.
4. You never really worry about scraping or curbing any of the bumpers (in most normal situations)
Hope that clears up the mystery as to why a lot of people prefer CUVs (all else being equal).

Since the CX-3 is actually based on the Mazda2, it should be renamed the CX-2 so this one can a true CX-3. You're welcome, Mazda

I really appreciate the extra ground clearance in a small suv vs. a car. If you live somewhere that gets six or more inches of snow in a single storm event, that extra clearance helps a lot! I was plowing through that deep snow in a car and getting stuck from simply not enough ground clearance. The SUV just keeps going with very little drama. That along with available AWD is why so many love the small SUV. You usually get extra cargo space too.


I sometimes miss driving a sporty car in the summer but that peace of mind in a SUV during winter is easily a worthwhile tradeoff. I just ride my motorcycle more in the summer!

All I can think is "Impreza is to Mazda3 as Crosstrek is to Mazda CX-30"

Engineer : how much plastic should we put?
CEO : Yes

One of the main reasons why the people are turning to SUVs/crossovers/lifted hatchbacks is so that they can see (and be seen)! Have you been in a low-slung car lately? Try seeing around that F-150 parked on the corner, or that SUV in your highway lane. Visibility is important when driving, and it’s amazing that my fav Youtubers fail to mention that factor when it comes to auto manufacturers & trends today.

I'll take the CX30 over the 3. One reason - being 188cm tall I find that a CUV/SUV gives me a more upright sitting position that allows me to sit a little closer to the dash and thereby gives rear passengers a little more legroom. Notice this with my current Mazda 3 and my wife's previous Tuscon and current Santa Fe.

I have this car, best car I ever had. No issues ever, can drive it across Europe 10h a day and not get uncomfortable. 10/10

The moment you mentioned that you're in San Diego I thought: "They should meet Doug DeMuro"... 15 seconds later he is appearing :-D

The black cladding would've been perfect if Mazda had reduced it by about 25%.

Although this seems to be marketed towards younger generations it must also be noted that some older people such as me like it because it's easier to get in and out of compared with a sedan. I still like a good driving experience and my children live far enough away I'll never have to accommodate car seats so this is a really good alternative to a compact sedan or even a hatchback like the Mazda 3. Ease of getting in and out for empty nesters.

[MysteriousMatt]

The plastic is too much, they should reduce it.
Really good car, but i would take the Mazda3 over this!

[carloslovera]

Proud of you! I had a totally different comment ready to post thinking you were going to trash this car because doesn’t have launch control or zero to a hundred higher than 3 seconds but you kept the review for what the car is and it is supposed to be. Great Job. Sometimes we like reviews of normal cars for normal people like this one. 👍🏼

[Mgoblagulkablong]

Much better value than Mercedes GLA, BMW X2, Lexus UX, etc

[gkDefiant]

You know... as an enthusiast... I love watching reviews of great cars like the 911, GTR etc. BUT we need more reviews like this one! Many people would love to know what is the best car that they can actually aspire to own and drive. Great stuff! Keep up the good work! Loving it!
