2026 Mazda CX-30 S

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 trim comes with 16-inch alloy wheels and cloth seats, while the S Select Sport adds a power driver's seat and a sunroof. Its 2.5L I4 makes 186 horsepower and pairs with a 6-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, giving it a smooth, responsive feel around town. You can add the Aire Edition package, which includes unique exterior accents and floor mats.
