2020 Mazda CX-30

Is our market CX-30 going to be updated soon or is it safe to buy?
 
Ridiculous that $35k gets you a 2.5L turbo AWD CX-30 but we pay the equivalent of $32000 for a 2.0L Individual.

Only turbos you get from Mazda SA are in the diesels.
 
Mazda CX-30 Carbon Edition it hot, but lacks the go to match the show

You know how true hikers can spot those who just want to look the part? That’s exactly what Mazda’s CX-30 seems to do.

With the broad body cladding and 18“ rims, you’d be forgiven this is a shrunk-down SUV, but it’s anything but.

It’s more Sports than Utility Vehicle.

It’s certainly more taut and edgy than any other Mazda passenger offerings. The 2.0l engine is more spritely than the 1.5l you’ll find in the Mazda 3, and the suspension is stiffer, and steering more responsive.

Despite its greater ground clearance than the garden variety Mazda 3, there’s virtually no body roll, so it feels incredibly chuckable.

 
Mazda CX-30 (2024) Price & Specs

Mazda Southern Africa recently upgraded the standard equipment list of its Mazda CX-30 boutique crossover range. Here’s a summary of the derivatives and what they cost.

The Mazda CX-30 fits into a niche above small crossovers but beneath premium crossovers. In 2021, we reviewed the Mazda CX-30 2.0 Dynamic and the range gained a Carbon Edition variant a year later. The CX-30’s rivals include the Hyundai Kona, Honda HR-V, Jaecoo J7, Opel Mokka and Volkswagen T-Roc.

“With a solid base of standard features, this latest update (to the Mazda CX-30) ensures customers have a variety of choices across the range,” a Mazda Southern Africa spokesman was quoted as saying.

All CX-30 “Editions” are powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, which delivers peak outputs of 121 kW and 213 Nm of torque, and is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
