2019 Mazda CX30

The Mazda CX-30 is an executive-grade compact SUV that prioritizes driver engagement and aesthetic elegance over raw cargo volume. Its cabin is a standout in the segment, featuring a driver-centric cockpit with an 8.8-inch non-touch infotainment screen (controlled via a rotary dial), premium soft-touch surfaces, and an exceptionally quiet ride thanks to heavy sound insulation. While the 430-liter boot is slightly smaller than some rivals, the CX-30 compensates with sharp, precise steering and "G-Vectoring Control Plus," which subtly adjusts engine torque to make cornering feel more fluid and stable. Standard safety features across most markets include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and smart brake support, making it a sophisticated choice for those who want a "shrunken-down" luxury SUV experience.
