2026 Mazda CX-30 Premium

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. That 2.5L I4 works with the automatic transmission and all-wheel drive to deliver a 0-60 time in the mid-six-second range, which makes the CX-30 genuinely quick for a subcompact crossover.
