2024 Mazda CX-30 Preferred

The 2024 Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact crossover that blends hatchback agility with a raised ride height. It competes with the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Kia Seltos, but brings a more premium feel. The CX-30 handles like a smaller car, with quick steering and a composed chassis that makes it fun on back roads. Inside, the cabin is upscale for the class, with soft-touch materials and a clean, driver-focused layout. Cargo space is modest, but the rear seats fold flat to expand utility when needed. The Preferred adds leatherette seats, heated front seats, and a power moonroof over the S Select Sport, but skips the Premium's Bose audio and signature lighting. The standard moonroof and roof rails are the only visual upgrades over lesser trims, keeping the look clean and understated.
