2026 Mazda CX-30 S Select Sport

The Mazda CX-30 slots between the CX-3 and CX-5 as a subcompact crossover with a premium feel. It competes with the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Kia Seltos, but stands apart with its upscale cabin. The CX-30 handles like a much smaller car, with quick steering and a composed, planted feel on winding roads. Inside, the cabin is trimmed with soft-touch materials and a clean layout that rivals more expensive luxury models. Cargo space is modest for the class, but the rear seats fold flat to swallow larger loads when needed. The S Select Sport is the most affordable way into a CX-30, and it still gets the 8.8-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and dual-zone climate control. Its 2.5L I4 makes 186 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, sending power to all four wheels for all-weather confidence. The 18-inch black metallic wheels and leatherette seats give it a sporty look inside and out that you don't have to pay extra for.
