Meet the Mazda CX-30
FAMILY TREE: NEW SUV SIBLING SLOTS IN BETWEEN CX-5 AND CX-3 Six-speed auto gearbox and fuel consumption of 6.6l/100km.
Two years after making its debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Mazda has revealed spec and pricing details for the new
CX-30.
Positioned between the CX-3 and CX-5, the CX-30 measures 4 395mm in overall length with a wheelbase of 2 655mm, height of 1 540mm and width of 1 795mm.
Compared to its siblings, the CX-30 is 120mm longer than the CX-3 but 155 mm shorter than the CX-5, with its wheelbase being longer and shorter by 85mm and 45mm respectively.
In terms of height, it loses out to both the CX-3 and CX-5 by 10mm and 135mm, but is 30mm wider than the former. Compared to the latter though, the CX-30 is 45mm thinner. Claimed boot space is 430 litres with the rear seats up.
Deriving its looks from not only its siblings, but also the coupe-styled Chinese market exclusive CX-4, the CX-30 comes in a choice of three models, all powered by the familiar 2.0-litre SkyActiv-G petrol engine. Producing 121kW/213Nm, the amount of twist is delivered to the front wheels only via a six-speed automatic gearbox with Mazda claiming a combined fuel consumption of 6.6l/100km. No manual option will be provided.
On the specification front, the Active starts the line-up off by featuring the 8.8-inch MZD Connect touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and dual USB ports, an eight-speaker sound system, auto on/off auto-levelling LED headlights, rain sense wipers, folding electric mirrors, LED fog lamps, Head-Up Display, push-button start, cruise control, black or grey cloth seats, rear armrest, 16-inch alloy wheels, leather wrapped steering wheel and gear lever, seven airbags as well as ABS, EBD, EBA and DSC.
Upping the ante, the Dynamic comes with a beige cloth interior, dual-zone climate control, paddle shifters, rear air vents, keyless entry and rear parking sensors. Sitting at the top, the Individual swaps the 16-inch wheels for 18-inch alloys and the cloth for black leather while also having a 12-speaker Bose sound system, electrically adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, a autodimming rear-view mirror and a reverse camera.
