Styling inspiration
The Mazda CX-30’s styling is controlled by the design concept: 'Charge and Release'. This language was derived from the brushwork used in Japanese calligraphy and developed to integrate the three key factors of the evolved Kodo design theme: Yohaku, the beauty of empty space; Sori, curves with poise and balance; and Utsuroi, the play of light and shade.
e-Skyactiv X
The latest 2.0-litre e-Skyactiv X engine produces 186ps at 6,000rpm and maximum torque of 240Nm at 4,000rpm an increase of 6ps and 16Nm respectively compared with the last-generation Skyactiv-X engine. Even better, efficiency has also been improved, with CO2 emissions dropping by 6 to 11g/km – depending on model, transmission and trim level. Corresponding improvement in WLTP combined economy further increases the appeal of Mazda’s unique SPCCI petrol engine.
Body Colours
The Mazda CX-30 is available in nine body colours - Arctic White, Polymetal Grey, Snowflake White, Jet Black, Deep Crystal Blue, Machine Grey, Platinum Quartz and Mazda’s signature Soul Red Crystal. New for the 2024 model year, Ceramic White is introduced across the CX-30 range.
Wheels
The Mazda CX-30 is offered with either 18 or 16-inch alloy wheels depending on trim level. Prime-Line and Centre-Line cars feature 16-inch Grey Metallic wheels, while Exclusive-Line and Takumi cars powered by the e-Skyactiv G engine have 18-inch Silver Metallic wheels. Exclusive-Line and Takumi cars powered by the ground-breaking e-Skyactiv X engine are marked out by 18-inch Bright Silver wheels. Regardless of engine, all Homura grade cars feature 18-inch Black Metallic wheels.
Exterior equipment
All models in the line-up feature power folding door mirrors, LED headlights, rear parking sensors and a gloss black roof spoiler. Prime-Line and Centre-Line models have a black grille, while from Homura onwards the CX-30 is set apart by a Gloss Black grille. Exclusive-Line grade sees the introduction of rear and side window privacy glass, plus Adaptive LED lights and Signature LED daytime running lights.
Dimensions
Slotting into the Mazda SUV range below the award-winning Mazda CX-5, the CX-30 entered a new segment for Mazda. 4,395mm long, 1,795mm wide and 1,540mm high with a 2,655mm wheelbase, it comes into a competitive sector as a key rival to premium contenders like the Volkswagen T-ROC, BMW X2, Mercedes GLA and Audi Q2, as well as mainstream competitors like the Toyota C-HR and Vauxhall Grandland X to name just a few.
Styling Concept
Developed to create an entirely new design for a compact crossover SUV, the Mazda CX-30 was inspired by the ‘Sleek and Bold’ design concept, whereby the exterior styling exudes supple, flowing elegance and the toughness of an SUV. Beneath a sleek upper body with the streamlined silhouette of a coupe, black cladding to the lower body creates an impression of stability, ruggedness and power appropriate to an SUV.
Mazda M Hybrid
In both the e-Skyactiv X and e-Skyactiv G CX-30, Mazda’s petrol engines are matched the company's intelligent Mazda M Hybrid system. Compact and efficient, the mild hybrid system features a belt-driven integrated starter generator (ISG) and a 24V lithium-ion battery.
