2024 Mazda CX-30

Performance

The standard engine in the Mazda CX-30 has a displacement of 2.5 liters, which generates 191 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. This will undoubtedly be sufficient for situations, but if you prefer a more muscular SUV, upgrade to a turbocharged Mazda CX-30. One of these models generates 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque thanks to its turbocharged 2.5-liter engine. No matter what powertrain you pick, you'll have all-wheel drive, an off-road traction assist feature, and a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. These components can enhance overall performance and make the Mazda CX-30 more enjoyable.

Interior and Exterior

Even on the base trim, you'll find several attractive elements, like LED headlights and push-button start. The other trim levels feature heated side mirrors and rain-sensing wipers, which can be very convenient when traveling around the Tri-County area. Plus, they have 18-inch alloy wheels instead of the standard 16-inch versions. Their cabins have been set up with dual-zone climate control and heated front seats to make you more comfortable. You'll notice extra features in some higher trims, such as a power moonroof, power liftgate, a frameless rearview mirror that dims automatically, and a heated steering wheel. Most trims come with leather or leatherette upholstery, with the 2.5 S Carbon Edition and 2.5 Carbon Turbo being available with red leather and Terracotta leatherette seats, respectively.

Given the dimensions of the Mazda CX-30, it's an ideal vehicle for many Cincinnati shoppers. It has a ground clearance of eight inches to make it over various obstacles and give you a higher perch when you're in the driver's seat. Measuring 173 inches long, it should fit in most parking spots with ease. At the same time, it has plenty of space in its cabin for cargo and passengers. It has almost 42 inches of front-row legroom and more than 36 inches of second-row legroom. Since the cargo area has a volume of over 20 cubic feet, it can fit a variety of items. You'll quickly lower the rear seatbacks to make more room for oversized cargo.

With an advanced infotainment system, this Mazda lets you stay in touch with others and choose from various entertainment options. It comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a six-speaker sound system, multiple USB ports, and an 8.8-inch center display.

It offers a variety of advanced safety systems, including lane keep assist, emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
