If you're a fan of the Mazda 3 hatchback, which we are, you'll find the CX-30 just as nimble, athletic, and fun to drive. A turbocharged 2.5-liter engine is optional and provides 250 horsepower. The CX-30's standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 186 horsepower which is paired with a six-speed automatic which chooses gears wisely based on driving conditions.
All of the non-turbo trim levels come with the same 2.5-liter engine all-wheel drive is standard across the lineup.
The Select comes with blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and keyless entry. We would select the Select trim, as you get more features for not much more money. The Select model now comes with roof rails as standard equipment Platinum Quartz Metallic joins the list of available colors. Based on the non-turbo CX-30, the Carbon Edition model borrows its Polymetal Grey paint and red leather upholstery from other Carbon Edition Mazdas and rolls on black 18-inch wheels. Mazda has made all-wheel drive standard across the CX-30 lineup for 2022, and a new Carbon Edition is now available. A generous helping of infotainment and driver-assistance features is standard and, starting this year, so is all-wheel drive. Handling is agile and the CX-30's on-road demeanor is reminiscent of Mazda's sportier offerings, which we greatly appreciate so much so, that we gave it an Editors' Choice award.
The entry-level engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which delivers tepid acceleration hot-shoe drivers will find the optional turbocharged 2.5-liter far more desirable. Its curvaceous exterior design and near-premium cabin give the CX-30 an upscale appearance that almost puts it in contention with subcompact luxury crossovers such as the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1, but its pricing is more aligned with mainstream subcompact SUVs such as the Hyundai Kona and the Volkswagen Taos. Looking like a taller, more rugged Mazda 3 hatchback, the 2022 CX-30 snuggles up next to the CX-5 and CX-50 on the small end of the brand's SUV lineup.
