It seems like every time you blink your eyes a NEW SUV is being debuted. Currently, there are 20+ non-luxury sub-compact crossovers on the market, and the crossover SUV segment is expected to remain on a rapid incline here in North America. So, it comes as no surprise that Mazda is trying to expand their SUV portfolio, in order to boost sales figures.
Prior to 2020, Mazda only had three crossover SUVs in their lineup: the CX-3, the CX-5, and the CX-9. The CX-3 (Mazda’s smallest SUV), was always on the smaller side of the spectrum when stacked up to its more girthy competitors. In fact, the CX-3 offers the 2nd least passenger volume in the Sub-Compact Crossover SUV segment.
So, Mazda knew that if they wanted to attract more consumers into Mazda showrooms, they had to offer more space, while still remaining competitive pricewise and feature-wise.
Introducing the ALL-NEW 2020 - 2022 Mazda CX-30!
This is Mazda's latest addition to its SUV lineup, but it is NOT the most inexpensive/compact crossover that Mazda has to offer in the United States; that title still belongs to the CX-3 (discontinued for 2022).
Mazda claims that the #MazdaCX30 will be the ideal answer to reign supreme versus other competitors within the oh-so-competitive Sub-Compact Utility Vehicle segment. Some of the many competitors that the all-new Mazda CX-30 will be stacked-up against will include the Subaru Crosstrek, Chevy TrailBlazer, Honda HR-V, Toyota C-HR, Ford EcoSport, Kia Soul, Hyundai Kona, Nissan Kicks, Jeep Renegade, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Fiat 500X, and the list goes on-and-on (remember there are 20+ competitors)!
So, did Mazda equip the new CX-30 with enough features, practicality, and curb appeal to survive the raging stampede of sub-compact utility vehicles? Or will the CX-30 just get trampled (and kicked aside) as other competitors dominate the segment? There's only one way to find out! Enjoy this #Pros and #Cons countdown video.

Just bought my cx-30 select last week and it's my best purchase ever. The moment I sat in one I fell in love with how smooth and easy it was to drive (and I've only driven small cars before) and how quiet it is on the road. No regrets.
Rena I just bought my new cx-30 also last week 🤣 let’s meet up and race 👍
My wife trades her 2019 Honda CRV EXL for the 2021 CX 30 Soul Red color. CX 30 is fun to drive compared to the boring CRV.
Are you still liking it? Any problems so far?
@@xoxpriscilla still loving it!! The trunk and back seat when put down was able to fit almost all furnitures I needed to transport even thought this is smaller than the cx-5 which was amazing! I do think the cx-30 is best for up to a family w small kids because the backseat is smaller BUT can definitely still fit 4 adults comfortably just not as spacious as most sedans backseat.
@@dexterzaf damn is that red color gorgeous or what? Under the sun that color is fire. And I’m not a fan of maroon or red but Mazda nailed that color
The lack of touch screen is an excellent safety feature and I find the controllers very intuitive. I have not missed the touch screen once in my mazda2. Edit. I now have a CX30 and my opinion hasn't changed.
I actually prefer the Mazda controls over a touch screen. I recently had to rent a car (VW) and then had to try to figure out how to use the touch screen controls. That by itself was confusing and then taking my eyes off the road while driving to use the touch screen was problematic. With Mazda's controls, it's quite easy to deal with the entertainment, navigation, etc.
Agreed, they didn't overlook this at all. They actually did the opposite. The infotainment in this car is great for what it is. The knobs are MUCH safer than touch screen as you don't have to change your sitting posture or focus on the road to operate the controls. Much much safer than the touch screen IMO. I think the "misses" in this video really show how amazing this car is.
There is a hack to make it a touch screen
When I buy a vehicle, I buy it for my driving comfort and I really don't intend to spend much time riding in the back seat. For all you people who are so concerned about your passengers comfort, I suggest you purchase a limousine. I understand pointing out the amount of room in the backseat of vehicles and rear cargo space as well, but I don't agree with complaining about the amount of space a manufacturer builds into its vehicles. The cx-30 is the perfect size for me and many others as demonstrated by Mazda's sales. If you need more room purchase a larger model!
Hahaha, spot on! Mazda has various sizes and choices. So for a family of 4 and more , go for CX-5 or 6 or 8. CX-30 is beautiful and hanldle perfectly with reasonable price for singles or small families, full stop.
💯 & most passengers will be kids, adults would rather be driving their own cars.
A Volkswagen Taos is a bit cheaper than a limousine, for anyone looking for more rear space at a similar price point
Bro it’s like you were speaking to me 😂. I’m debating between the hatchback Mazda 3 and CX 30 and that’s one of the reasons. Still yet tu test drive so we’ll see
@@sawadeeaust9762 agreed. And Mazda doesn’t have an unattractive car on the lot either.
I have just bought a 2021 CX-30 Preferred. I did not want AWD nor did I want turbo. My reasons for buying mine are as follows: 1.) TOC and Maintenance. Cheap on gas, easy to change oil, sparkplugs, and normal basic maintenance. 2.) Build quality. The car is tight, quiet, so much so after owning it two days my wife hit a deer. The body shop said it was one of the best built cars they have ever worked on. The only thing that broke was the chrome grill trim. repair cost including labor and taxes was $500.00 even 3.) interior is outstanding in leather. Beautifully put together, everything is so smooth and detailed. 4.) Ease of getting in and out. My wife has bad knees, it is extremely hard for her to enter a lowered car, and raised truck, she stated, "I can just slide right in and not have to lift my body to climb." 5.) Safety features. With all the default safety features insurance is so cheap.
Nice video! As a sequential owner of a 2017 Mazda 3, 2019 Mazda CX-3 and now 2021 Mazda CX-30, I actually don't see the lack of a touchscreen as a miss. The previous two Mazdas I hardly ever used the touch factor because the dial and buttons were so ergonomically placed and offered the tactile feel of clicking and selecting that I prefer. The voice commands were also very accurate and preferred for using the navigation features. So now the CX-30 eliminates touch, and I'm fine with it. The fingerprints were annoying anyway. Travel in a car with a touch screen dominant infotainment and the screen looks like tiny dog noses pressed all over it. I like leaning back into my comfy seat, clicking my options without leaning forward, and still seeing what's going on ahead of me as I drive since the screen is placed at the view line on the dash. Just my opinion, YMMV.
I love that the screen isn't a touchscreen. I'm very anal about scratches and fingerprints so I personally love that the screen isn't a touchscreen. Personally. But I do have to say it is way more distracting having to find the dial, I also use Siri a lot for my commands.
I'm also only 4'11 so completely on the opposite end when it comes to height so backseat leg space really isn't a bother to me.
These are all things I've noticed just after a month of owning the Mazda CX-30 Preferred.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND this vehicle it is a wonderful machine so far!!! :)
I completely agree!
Good to see you again I’ve missed your latest videos and I need to catch up! Thanks for bringing us this Mazda !
Good points mentioned about how far the rear view camera is positioned on the dashboard. I could see that making parking, challenging. I appreciate the comparisons with other SUV's about the leg room and backseat space. Great review! Very helpful!
👍 Yes, the comparison he makes are great. Marcus really helps me see where the cars rank .. Love that about these vids 👍
Awesome job Marcus!!❤️

i have a premium cx 30 turbo and have heated steering wheel and seats. once you get use to the control wheel and button for the info system you will see that it is less distracting then the touch screen most other cars have. also no scratching of the screen. the heating and defrosst system is fantastic.
Yasss for the music and effects! Love it!
Good and concise reviewing work! It’s great to see young folk doing such probing and informative reporting on a great subject.

Canadian models have larger reverse camera view with visual distance alerts. It also does the predictive path when turning in reverse. There is also heated steering wheel.
So useful to have actual number comparisons. Thanks!

Great video!
Scrolling wheel is a BMW feature. Not everyone wants to be reaching and getting their fingernails all over a screen while they drive.
Good review !
Your bloopers are hilarious btw!
Very nice and informative video, I’ve driven the car a couple of times and I am amazed. Currently counting the 20 days left to delivery. Hello from Bulgaria
Enjoying your video…but the no touch screen is for your safety due to that can be very distracting.
I don't know what he is talking about, but my Mazda CX 30 has turbo 2,5 L all wheel drive, sunroof, front wheel heated seated seats seats me , 6: 00" behind my self as a driver. And i love it's agility. Touch screen is a destruction and and the back camera does project it's path regarding the steering wheel deflection.
Nice review, Marcus. I agree with your hits & misses. Hopefully I’m never stuck in the back middle seat 😩
Awesome video bro! Love the bloopers! LMBO
Good review 👍
Nice summary
Very handy to see the leg and headroom comparisons to the competition. Thanks.
Awesome!!! I'm glad you found my dimensional comparison to be helpful! Please let me know if you have any questions, Kastro. Enjoy your weekend!
*~DriveAndBeDriven*
_"Fueled by Dreams, Driven by Passion!"_
👍 Yes, I agree with your "miss" choices Great "hits" too! You picked really good ones ..
Good review.
Touch screens suck. Try operating a touch screen when driving fast or on a bumpy road, than talk.
I am waiting for my cx 30. really fall in love with it when i test drive it
Love your videos ......
Buen vídeo!
Marcus has such a pleasant voice. Anyway, I am in the market for a new CX-30 or CX-5, and this was very helpful.
I'd love to see a vid on CX-5!
Excellent review. Now touch screen against nice ride. What can I live without.
Nice review 👍
Many thanks! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this one.

Very good review . When i saw this in black color i loveeeed it. Completely fell in love,. Its gonna be my next car😀 thank youuu
Awesome video skills starting at 1:20 🔥
I love love love Mazdas, my dad for some reason doesn't he says he doesn't like front and rear end designs on the newer Mazdas. But I know many people who drive CX-5's and Mazda 3's and Mazda 6's who all love their Mazdas. There is just one person I know who has a Mazda CX-3 who is unhappy with their Mazda, she doesn't like the ride, it's not AWD, she misses the Subaru she used to have.
Hey, Anthony! Same here - I love Mazda vehicles too.
Wow... I'm surprised your dad doesn't like the design language of newer Mazdas! The exterior styling is honestly one of my favorite attributes alongside the impressive luxury-like cabins (and superb driving dynamics). Regarding your friend who has a CX-3, I can sort of understand why she might not like the ride. Mazda vehicles tends to have a more driver-focused/borderline-firm rides that is far from the typical norm of plush and absorbent. While driving you definitely feel where the tires are, unlike a lot of modern day cars, which tend to have more numb steering and more plush suspension setups that provide less road feedback.
All in all, I really like the CX-30 as a whole. But, as you saw, it has a few flaws. Of course, no car is perfect - so it is important to take these "Hits" and "Misses" with a grain of salt. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND VIEWERSHIP, ANTHONY! You're truly spectacular!!! 😃😃😃

My dad always laughs at me when I use the word robust usually to describe food! The bloopers were so funny! Marcus reactions are so cute! You are my fave Marcus! Thank you for what you do!
So funny! I love Marcus and his reviews. :)
@@julieaguero5488 me too !
Eyy you're back! Loving these style of videos Marcus. Also, big thumbs up on the B-roll it looked very clean man.
It's a shame they don't offer a touchscreen but then again the layout isn't made for that; the screen is too far off as you mentioned. And yeah that backseat area does look somewhat restricted as you said. But I'm just nitpicking here, it's an overall appealing little thing.
Keep it up Marcus! Quality content as usual!
Edit: hahahahahaa love the bloopers part! keep them coming!!
Thank you, I have seen so many reviews about cx30, but only your review I just found the screen is not touch screen!
Wow I didn't know vehicles are now required to have a backup camera... that's interesting
I love the automatic head and tail lights, high beams and wipers. Lane assist and Sport Mode are nice too. Cruise control distance monitoring comes in handy too.
I am evaluating buying CX-30. This review is very relevant for my decision. Great job!
He sounds like he going to drop a smooth r&b album.
Haha! Coming soon 😎✌🏽🎶
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions regarding the CX-30. All the best!

_"Fueled by Dreams, Driven by Passion!"_
Love this vehicle and would be happy to own the turbo version. I think once I went down the cx30turbo path I would be tempted to just jump to the cx5 turbo if the wallet allowed. I also like a touch screen but at least the Mazda never has the dreaded finger prints. 😂. And one more small nit I had with this car is the smallish fuel tank and range. Fun to watch video!
Nice work! You know I love me some Mazda vehicles! I thought your criticisms were totally fair. I mean, it can't be perfect, right?! 😉👍🏻
Same here! I love me some Mazda vehicles, too!
I'm glad you found my criticisms to be fair, JAX. Exactly - no car is perfect. Hopefully, Mazda decides to rectify some (or all) of the criticisms that I mentioned in this video within the coming years. But, all in all, the CX-30 is a very SOLID vehicle!
More to come, JAX. Stay tuned!!! 😄

_"Fueled by Dreams, Driven by Passion"_
Just came across this video today. We purchased a new 2023 a month ago. Pretty happy with it. I'll comment on a couple of your negative points. 1. Rear Space - Since I am 5'5' and my wife is shorter, we pull the front seats forward, giving plenty of space in the rear. Not everyone is Tall. 2. Touchscreen - We don't miss it; the research is correct, safer with dials. Touch screens would have a tendency to be distracting. 3. Heated rear seats and cooling seats are pretty luxurious - not critical for us... we don't miss. 4. Rear Camera - Agree... camera could be more robust. A Positive: Mazda allowed us to use Apple Carplay with our CX-30 Select. We also own a 2022 Mini Cooper S and do not have that functionality, as it is only available if you step up to a Mini with a navigation system. Kudos to Mazda for giving us that option without forcing us to purchase a navigation package. We prefer to use Google Maps, not the nav systems' default maps.
Thanks
Love Mazda and your outit.
Beautiful car !!
11:22 just wanted to add that the Crosstrek is now available with a 182 hp 2.5 liter with 176 ft-lb torque. Still not as much power as the Mazda's 186 hp & 186 ft-lb 2.5 liter, but it closes the gap.
That’s some funny bloopers!
Yes, so funny 😂 I really laughed! 🤣
What a pleasant voice!
Mazda has stated they are very anti- touchscreens for safety reasons so I’m not sure they see it as a problem to rectify. But then you mentioned the CX-5 so maybe they are going to chase more sales and change course.
Excellent cinematic shots in the beginning, and the bloopers were hilarious! A quality and well thought-out review as always. 👍🏻
nice
I think it’s really really impressive that this standard 2.5 engine gives you 50 more Hp over the Trailblazer and 34 Hp over its closest rival the Crosstrek. Pretty impressive. First time viewer & subscriber here
Wow Marcus you did it again to the point with the good and the bad always very accurate with the details of this car keep up the excellent work can wait to see what’s next with your video
I wish this had wireless Apple car play or android auto and wireless charging dock.
You do get the 360 view AND the rear camera when you put it in reverse BUT it’s only in the Premium trim unfortunately.
I've had the top of the range 2021 CX-30 for 8 months now it's by far the best car I have ever owned. I can't think of one thing that I would change, everything is a breeze to use.
What can I say my man. You keep hitting home runs if you get a chance I'll like for you to review the Cadillac
Have 2021 CX-30 Select AWD for 9 mo. now after Civic was totaled. Pros: Drives very nicely, like a car. Safety features work well. Good value for the $$. So far I avg. 32 MPG!! Cons: Center and glove compartments are small and don't fit much. Wish the brakes were slightly more responsive. Wish the cargo was longer for car camping, but I knew dimensions when purchasing.
Good VDO
I do agree with you that back space is too small and not convenient.
I'm 188 cm tall. In driving position the front seat do not allow me to seat in the back seat.
Furthermore the back seat cannot move because of the wheel passage.
I was considering this car but I dropped it from my list.
Tks for this review
I’ve owned a stock 2020 CX-30 for about a year and a half now, love it to death actually, it’s got all the features a college kid could ask for, AND I picked it up with ZERO interest (took advantage of the slump in the economy during the early pandemic!).
Here’s some things I agreed or disagreed with:
1. I actually don’t like touch screens as I have a tendency in my mom’s car (which has a touchscreen) to fat-finger buttons easily unless I plan to redirect my full attention to the screen, so just being able to use the dial and clicker is super helpful as it means MINIMAL distractions while driving.
2. The Reverse Camera is fine to me, but I also learned to drive without the camera, so I don’t rely on it as much as some, mostly just helps me park and is a double checking tool for reversing to me.
3. Some of the lack of features don’t bother me as, again, I learned to drive in a car without those features first, so I’m unbothered by lack of those.
4. The backseat isn’t super spacious perhaps, but I have sat (and slept) in the back of the car as a 6’ 5” giant, and it was just about as comfortable as any other car’s backseat is for me.
5. I agree with all the upsides (though I do not possess a model with a assisted lift gate), but you failed to mention the AMAZING stock sound system! The only modification I really seek to make to my CX-30 is getting a nice subwoofer installed in the thing to beef that part of the sound even more.
Hey thanks for your supplementary input. I have a question about lack of touchscreen. I use Android auto through my car screen with touch. Sometimes directions aren't accurate by voice so I have to type it in. How easy is it to type with the dial? Or would I have to grab my phone to enter in the info?
@@monst3r91 I’ve never had to type on the thing, I usually just set the navigation, THEN drive. It should pair just fine and you can set your phone up in front of the screen on its side for a visual. Not sure if they offer built-in navigation on the car, but I wouldn’t bother with it as it’s likely a subscription or somethin
I can be counted to those that also love it to death, my CX-30 is a high level of equipment and has BOSE sound system, 12 speakers including a subwoofer, also has built-in navigation with 5 years free update
My 20 preferred CX30 has the subwoofer incorporated into the spare tire. Did you look under the floor mat?
@@kendallsmith1458 I have a stock model, no Bose sound system, so the spare tire well just has a tire and the rack for the subwoofer.
I hate the touchscreen & awkward placement of it on my 2020 Corolla SE sedan 6-MT. Lots of stupid tech-bloat in vehicles today across-the-board, & I have zero interest in using my smartphone with my auto in any fashion. It stays in my pocket while I am driving. I'm thinking of ditching my Corolla sedan for the CX-30 in 2022, & none of the negatives featured here are even on my radar as something I would find a problem with. I would say that the generically-uniform extra-thick black plastic cladding + entire rear bumper is the biggest negative.
Update: I did purchase a 2022 CX-30 AWD Carbon Edition (CE) trim three weeks ago. Had to make a couple strategic mods to get the black plastic cladding to work for me, but happy with the result.
I’m excited to receive my Cx-30. I’m here to get used to the model, all its pros and cons.
This is going to be a little late but I just bought a cx-30 last week and one miss that is a big deal for me is the location of the cup holders. Since I do bring my coffee/smoothie to work, it usually hits the hazard and AC buttons. I would like to buy those extenders but it gets in the way of my knees and the console. BUT overall I love my cx-30 especially the accelleration.
Marcus,
Why there are no reviews from you recently. Could you please post a comparison review on CX 30 2022 trim levels
It's super smart how you compare the numbers for horsepower, headroom, etc with others in the segment, in descending order. It makes for an apples to apples to comparison across the entire segment! Also I can't remember if I've said this before but your editing is off the charts? What are you using and where did you learn to edit like this? It's awesome! The graphics are like TV quality!
Ben, thanks so much for the compliments! I try my best to give the viewer a precise, yet concise visualization of where vehicles slot within their respective segments in an easy-to-comprehend descending order. Indeed! As you mentioned, this method of data display makes for a great "apples to apples" comparison.
Wow, man! TV quality!?!?! 🤯🤯🤯 I really appreciate the kind words. I'm so glad that you enjoy my editing style. It's definitely less traditional, but I think it gets the point across in a visually-appealing and information-rich fashion.
Looking forward to your upcoming productions, Ben! Your content is stellar, as well!!! More content is on its way. Hang tight! 😎✌🏽

You said you'll link to a driving video, but it's missing. Do you know if it's available?
