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.
Engines
The latest CX-30 sees the popular 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G make its debut in the 2025 Mazda CX-30 - featuring cylinder de-activation and the Mazda M-Hybrid mild-hybrid technology with 140ps it delivers a 18ps increase to the entry-point engine in the range. The outgoing 2.0-litre e-Skyactiv G engine produced 213Nm at 4,000rpm, while the new engine produces 238Nm at 3,300rpm ensuring there’s a noticeable improvement in real-world performance. The 2.0-litre e-Skyactiv X engine produces 186ps at 6,000rpm and maximum torque of 240Nm and continues in the range unchanged.
Body Colours
The 2025 Mazda CX-30 is available in ten body colours - Arctic White, Polymetal Grey, Snowflake White, Jet Black, Deep Crystal Blue, Machine Grey, Platinum Quartz, Zircon Sand, Ceramic and Mazda’s signature Soul Red Crystal.

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.
