2022 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
14 of 14 people found this review helpful
With the 2.5L turbo engine, this little suv has incredible acceleration. It is so much fun to drive. The only negative is the small gas tank. Less than 11 gallons doesn’t last long, I have to fill up twice a week.

I got my 22 Cx 30 turbo and turned in my 21 front drive Cx 30. Car is fast and handles better. No torque steer because AWD.. Quiet, Comfortable., fast. Handles like European car. Bose radio is the best. Easy to park. All safety on it. I even go all maintenaince included on lease. I had 29k miles on my 21… no issues and car looked new. I had 3400 equity and put on new deal. Look at fit and finish on car. If it was built by a European brand would be 60k price.

2022 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

After weeks and weeks of reading and reviewing and test driving. My wife and I decided to purchase a CX30 Premium Turbo. The value of what you get in this little SUV is stellar. The quality fit and finish of the interior rivals some luxury brands. We chose the Turbo model for that extra power on our road trips. The back seats can be a bit cramped but you must remember this is a compact SUV. It is fine for short trips across town with 4 people or small children. Mazda has done its homework. This vehicle handles great, smooth ride, quite ride. I recommend a test drive.

2022 Mazda CX-30 Carbon Edition 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

First off, I am a long-time Mazda owner. My first Mazda was a 1989 323 hatch and it was a great little car, which I kept for a decade. I then had 2 Protégés and then a 2012 Mazda3 hatch GT, which we still have. My wife has gone off-Mazda in the past with a Pontiac Vibe GT (basically a Toyota Matrix) and a Subaru Forester. Then she went back to a 2016 base Mazda3 manual transmission, which we ended up selling for more than we paid for it (at CarMax) to get the 2022 CX-30 Carbon Edition. I have always gone back to Mazdas because of their driving dynamics and dependability. They are not as fuel efficient as other brands, of that I am perfectly aware, but the handling is superior to other brands in this class. Before the CX-30 came out, I was dead-set on getting the CX-5 since I wanted a crossover, but I really liked the styling of the CX-30 and I wanted to still feel like I was driving a Mazda3, which I have known for a decade now. Why not just get the Mazda3 hatch? Well, my wife and I do like the higher driving height crossovers offer so the CX-30 was perfect for us. Also, I am only 5 ft 8 in. and my wife is 5 ft 2 in. so we don’t need a large vehicle and we also do not have children – only furry ones. If I was taller and we had children, I would have considered the CX-5 or the CX-50. So, with that out of the way - I really just love the CX-30 Carbon Edition! Those blacked out rims, polymetal grey and red leather seats! It is a looker. I was not really fond of the brown and black interior of the Premium, and when the Carbon Edition was announced, I knew I had to have that one. Since our last 2 Mazda3s were the 2.0 liter 155 hp, to me, the base 2.5 liter 186 hp, was going to be a huge leap in pep so I did not feel the need for the turbo model. I also couldn’t justify adding another $5,000 to the price, especially now you really can’t haggle the price of a new vehicle with the chip shortage. With the Sport mode, it is like adding on a turbo, in my opinion, and I get to keep my 5K. Auto journalists knocked the base engine before the turbo came out and said it needed more power, but if you are reviewing cars with 400 hp or more and then review a 186 hp engine, of course it will seem underpowered. I have been watching auto journalists review the CX-30 since it first came out 2 years ago and I do agree with some of their criticisms. One, it definitely is not as roomy as other vehicles in its class – like the Subaru Crosstrek; but I actually like the cocoon feeling and, again, I am not a tall person, so it’s fine for me and I am used to the Mazda3 interior. Second, the gas tank is the same size of the AWD Mazda3 which is 12.7 gallons and since this is a CUV, you would have thought, they would have put a slightly larger tank in, so I am filling up more than I would like. I am filling up more often also since this is the 2.5 liter and obviously not as fuel efficient as the 2.0 155 hp that I am used to, but the pluses are way more than the minuses with this great little crossover. This is the most luxurious Mazda I have ever owned! I really can’t get over how much they keep improving the interiors. Granted, I paid $6,000 more for this model (preferred), than I did for the 2012 GT (premium) hatchback and that was the top of the line with leather seats and Bose audio. Oh, the base audio system. Wow! Mazda has done a tremendous job with their Harmonic Acoustics audio system (speakers are by Pioneer), that I do not regret at all, not getting the Bose in this CX-30. The 8 speaker system continues to blow my mind, and yes, I am sure the new Bose system is still as good, if not better, than in our 2012 Mazda3, but I am completely happy with this audio system. Again, the interior is beautiful and just so simple and clean. Mazda has certainly gone from having a ton of buttons and switches in years past (our 2012 Mazda3 hatch, for example) to going minimalist. I am still getting used to all the safety tech, but I’ll get there. The overall visibility is fine for me, and yes, the windows are shorter than other brands, but I’d rather have more sheet metal between me and another vehicle than more glass. The ride is so smooth and quiet compared to our 2012 Mazda3 or even the 2016, which was an improvement over the 2012. It is so quiet that I find it quite easy to get close to 90 mph without me realizing it. I also like the larger cargo area than we have in our 2012 hatch though it is not as wide, but it is taller and deeper. I mainly haul plants, mulch and dirt, so this has plenty of space for that and I did upgrade to an all-weather cargo mat and floor mats to make cleaner so much easier. Overall, this is an awesome little ‘premium’ crossover that is a blast to drive, but I already knew it would be even before I test drove it – that’s what Mazda does best. I can't wait for them to come out with hybrids in the next few years, since they need to catch up with other brands and I am glad they are teaming up with Toyota to help them accomplish this. We will need to replace the 2012 in the next couple of years, and I hope to replace it with a hybrid so we can have at least one really fuel efficient vehicle in the garage.

2022 Mazda CX-30 Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I originally was looking at a CX-5 which is a great car in it's own right, but ultimately went with the CX-30 because it was a more comfortable fit for me and my wife. Cons: less cargo space and rear seat leg room. This personally doesn't bother me because I mostly drive alone. Cup holder placement is little off. Lastly, the navigation system is not the greatest. Mazda really needs to look at that. And that's it! The PROS are too many to list. Responsive engine, incredibly nimble, Excellent on snow and ice, Unbelievable interior fit and finish, quiet cabin, great sound system, the design is beautiful, very comfortable seats(I'm 5'11" but I could see this car not being comfortable for someone taller) and on and on. It's just a blast to drive to work everyday. I look forward to my commute now.
