2023 Mazda CX-30 Select

The 2023 Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact crossover that blends hatchback agility with a raised ride height, slotting below the CX-5 in Mazda's SUV lineup. It squares off against the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Subaru Crosstrek, with a more premium feel than most rivals. The CX-30 handles with a sporty composure that's rare in this class, with crisp steering and a firm, controlled ride. Inside, the cabin is upscale for the segment, with quality materials and a clean design, though rear legroom is snug. Standard i-Activsense safety tech includes adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, and the infotainment system is controlled by a rotary dial. Leatherette seats and the 8.8-inch display set the Select apart from the base S, while keeping the same 2.5L engine. The 2.5L I4 makes 191 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, returning 29 mpg combined. Standard Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Blind Spot Monitoring come on every Select, so you get highway assists you don't have to option up for.
