Mazda’s 2.5-liter, 250-horsepower turbocharged engine reached the headlines when it was introduced in the new Mazda 3. For 2021, the engine has been introduced in the CX-30, which is located between the CX-3 and the CX-5, but which has measures that confuse it all two models.
Mazda has won this brilliant title “premium” and the CX-3It appears that 0 has positioned both the engine and the model prices to reflect this. The base CX-30 Turbo starts at $ 29,900. Interestingly, this price is $ 50 cheaper than the Premium model with the non-turbo engine and all-wheel drive. (El
The front-wheel drive non-turbo engine CX-30 starts at $ 28,550.)
There are three trim levels for the CX-30 Turbo: the aforementioned $ 29,900 base model; the Premium cut for $ 32,300 and Premium Plus for $ 33,900.
The price differences between the adjustments are so subtle that you almost start to wonder why you pay more. But of course, it’s just about packages and features. For example, the difference between the base Turbo model and the Premium finishes are the leather seats, adaptive HID headlights, a front screen and a navigation system. A fully loaded CX-30 Turbo exceeds $ 35,000.

Apart from the turbo engine and price, the look and feel of top quality that Mazda has in other areas. The interior, for example, is a pretty damn place, with soft materials to the touch on most contrasting surfaces and seams. These premium aspirations can be seen in who Mazda believes are its competitors. With its turbo engine and all-wheel drive, Mazda is behind Audi Q3 S Line Premium, Lexus UX 250 F Sport and Subaru Crosstrek Limited.
Those of us who see this as another small Japanese crossover entry, know that its real competitors are vehicles like the Honda HR-V and the Hyundai Venue. Only then is the CX-30 more premium. But if you’re looking for energy and some capacity in a tall hatch and you have $ 35,000 burning a hole in your pocket, the CX-30 may be for you.
