Mazda CX-30 (2024) Price & Specs

Mazda Southern Africa recently upgraded the standard equipment list of its Mazda CX-30 boutique crossover range. Here’s a summary of the derivatives and what they cost.

The Mazda CX-30 fits into a niche above small crossovers but beneath premium crossovers. In 2021, we reviewed the Mazda CX-30 2.0 Dynamic and the range gained a Carbon Edition variant a year later. The CX-30’s rivals include the Hyundai Kona, Honda HR-V, Jaecoo J7, Opel Mokka and Volkswagen T-Roc.

“With a solid base of standard features, this latest update (to the Mazda CX-30) ensures customers have a variety of choices across the range,” a Mazda Southern Africa spokesman was quoted as saying.

All CX-30 “Editions” are powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, which delivers peak outputs of 121 kW and 213 Nm of torque, and is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

2.0 Active Edition

All Mazda CX-30 derivatives feature LED headlamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, Mazda i-Stop, a leather-trimmed ‘wheel and transmission lever, push-button start, auto headlamps and -wipers, a head-up display, auto-dipping rear-view mirror, cruise control, auto folding mirrors and electronic parking brake.

All variants, including the entry-level 2.0 Active Edition, now feature a 10.25-inch infotainment screen (with touch functionality when the car is stationary, plus Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay), while the standard 8-speaker audio system is supplemented by a pair of USB (type C) ports.

2.0 Dynamic Edition

Beyond the tech upgrades to the 2.0 Active Edition, the 2.0 Dynamic Edition comes with 18-inch alloys, daytime running lights, parking sensors, smart keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles, a wireless charging pad, a reverse-view camera and rear air vents.

2.0 Carbon Edition

The 2.0 Carbon Edition can be distinguished by black metallic 18-inch alloy wheels and matching side-mirror caps, while the cabin has red contrast stitching, a sunroof and an electrically operated tailgate.

2.0 Individual Edition

Like the 2.0 Carbon Edition, the range-topping 2.0 Individual Edition is also adorned with black metallic 18-inch alloy wheels and side mirrors, but additionally features what Mazda Southern Africa describes as a “retro sports” interior trimmed in black and terracotta suede and faux-leather combination upholstery.

Other notable standard equipment in the 2.0 Individual Edition (over the 2.0 Carbon Edition) include an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat (including lumbar and with memory function), a 12-speaker Bose audio system, a frameless rear-view mirror, a blind-spot monitor as well as rear cross-traffic alert.

Safety equipment for the range includes dual front-, side- and curtain airbags, ABS with EBA and EBD, dynamic stability control, hill-hold assist, auto door lock and child-seat anchor points (ISOfix).
