“In a crowded segment, the CX-30 makes a decent case for itself. Mazda’s design language continues to crank out good-looking cars, its interior rivals the best in the sector and it will engage you a little more than your run-of-the-mill small SUV.”

“The Mazda CX-30 SUV sits between Mazda’s CX-3 and CX-5 in terms of size. It seats five, is well equipped and can be had with Mazda’s frugal new Skyactiv-X petrol engine.”

“It’s a shame the Mazda CX-30’s weak engines spoil its appeal, because otherwise it’s a cracking package that offers a premium feel for a price in line with more humdrum opposition. The small boot is a downside, but the beautifully finished interior, excellent road manners, good looks and an impressive safety rating all make it a very tempting choice.”

“Good car, the Mazda CX-30. Handles well, looks smart and has a lovely interior. But as is always the case with crossovers – the conventional car on which it’s based (in this case the Mazda 3 hatchback) is the sensible buy.”

“The Mazda CX-30’s bold looks certainly stand out in a traditionally boxy-shaped SUV market. Its unusual petrol-only, non-turbo engines take a bit of getting used to, but overall it’s good fun to drive. It’s also practical for family use, very safe and well equipped as standard.”
