---------- ----------- --------- ----------- ----------------------------
CX-30 173.0" 70.7" 61.7" 6.9"
CX-5 179.1" 72.5" 65.4" 7.5"
Thanks for giving out the number, that helps.
Thanks for the front and back seat demo haven't seen that yet and it's definitely informative 👍
Well done video! I love Mazda’s and I’m considering Mazda CX-5 but was curious about the CX-30’s size and specs. I drove and am currently driving a Mazda. These cars have never let me down. Underrated rides.
The problem with the cx-30 imo is less about the space and more about the extremely dated outer design. Front looks good, but sides with that oversized plastic, and then the back that looks like a box, looks very unappealing.
I found it extremely helpful and it was literally the thing that I was unsure about. So thank you!
First such comparison in a video I've ever seen between any vehicles and you did a pretty good job. Size matters most to me for the driver's leg room and cargo space. And two show stoppers for me with the CX-30 are:
1) High belt line from the seated-driver perspective. If you're accustomed to resting your left arm outside the door or along its cavity opening for the window, then be prepared to raise the seat and awkwardly lean down to the right in order to rest your right arm on the armrest. I can't imagine anyone saying that sitting in such a position is comfortable. And it's quite inconvenient for needing to interact with machines at parking garages when you must grab a ticket/token upon entering and pay upon exiting because certain components on those machines are lower than the belt line.
2) Atrocious rear view visibility. Although I've mastered parking tail-in first using the side mirrors, I feel that you should be able to easily see what's behind you anytime while going forward. I guess that I'm old school and don't care for all the technology that's included nowadays to monitor so much of what's happening just outside my car.
Great comparison! Some customers will want to see it!
Awesome job at comparing the two! Thanks a lot
No problem! I appreciate the feedback, if you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
I took a test drive on both vehicles a few days ago the seat in the CX 30 will drop down and go back like a BMW far superior to the CX 5. The CX 30 seat is unbelievably comfortable fantastic. I am 6’3’’ Considering trading my BMW X-1 for the CX 30.
That's awesome to hear! I can't wait until this new interior styling and feel moves into the other models. They've really knocked this one out of the park!
Really helpful! Looking forward to the cx-30 and 3 comparison
Stay tuned! That video will be coming very soon!
It is just my wife and I. I wanted the CX-3, and if it came with a 6 speed manual it would be in my garage right now. I ended up getting the CX-30 because if I am going to have to have an automatic, I might as well have the more refined CX-30. It still is fun on a curvy road. Smaller is better IMO. I tried to talk my wife into a Miata RF. LOL!
wish you would have compared the cargo spaces
Looking back I wish I had as well. I apologize about that. Just so you do know the back of the CX-30 will be smaller but they made a nice design change where it gets more cubic foot by eliminating the bumps for the wheel wells.
Thanks man, needed this video! Im really thinking about getting the cx5
great video. little slow, but informative. would love to see the cargo comparison. thanks!
I’m short and I love my leg room in the CX-5.
I got a CX5 Touring 2017 . I Love it. Thank you for the demo. I’m leasing another one this year.
@PC MAZDA Reviews.
I now have a Mazda 2 and it's a super nice car. Soon I will buy a larger Mazda, but I doubt between the CX-30 AND CX-5. I know the cx-5 is more spacious, but the cx-30 does have the latest interior and infotainment. What preference do you have ... driving style / comfort / quality / experience
Pretty much across the board as of this day I like the CX-30 more. Really it comes down to a size thing though. With the Mazda2 you are used to the smaller car, one size up would be the CX-30 and then two sizes up would be the CX-5. If you need the much larger space I would go with the CX-5. You can't go wrong either way, they are both amazing cars!
@@PCMazdaReviews Okay, thanks for the feedback. I will soon make a test drive with both cars and choose together with my partner but anyway they are both super good and cool cars and as you already mentioned, they are both amazing cars Thanksss !!! Greetings from Europe;)
Still waiting for a size between the CX-9 and the CX-5, ie a replacement for the old CX-7.
Love my '10 CX-9. Best car I ever owned but I don't need quite that big a car anymore.
Would love the CX-30 style on steroids. That would be perfect.
just what I needed
I also would like more about the cargo space. In particular, I would like to see a golf bag loaded into the back. Can I take four bags and three friends on a trip? I don't want a giant SUV for every day, just a compact SUV for occasional cargo loading. Thanks
CX-5 is a compact SUV (and it's one of the smallest in the class). I think you meant sub-compact?
This is very helpful, thank you!
Not a problem, happy to help!
I was loving the CX 30 but that back seat is a deal breaker. 😞
For the Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Crosstrek, the CX-5 steering is better, it feels like it has more power, and the transmission feels better. I did prefer the brake feel for the Crosstrek, and the heated seats get hotter for the Crosstrek. For the mid-level model, the CX-5 has more features. See the last 2 top ten lists for reliability by Consumer Reports- the MX-5 Miata, CX-3, and CX-9 are on the newest list, and the CX-5 is on the year old list. I am 5 feet 11 inches tall and barely fit in the CX-5, so if you are very tall you might want something else.
I am 6 foot 1 inch and fit just fine in the cx-5. The seat isn't even all the way back. Maybe yours is broken.
Barely fit? Im 6’2. Plenty of room and more
Nice SUVs and very good comparison. I'm pretty darn impressed!
When is it coming to South Africa? I cannot wait
CX-30 buyer here. I don't understand why the space in the back seat looks so tight in all the reviews.
I'm 1.77cm tall. I put the front seat in perfect driving position. Which means just enough to stretch my leg at 90% as 100% stretch is not recommended because it is dangerous in case of an accident (a front hit can break your leg and also transfer the impact energy to your hip causing a very serious injure). In that driving position, I have 10cm between my knee and the front seat.
I was about not to buy the car given the space shown in all the review, but when I saw the car personally, there was plenty of room on the back seat.
Why decided to buy cx 30 instead of CX5?
@@hollywoodquotes2147
size: the average length in my country (Spain) is 4.3 m and you are much less likely to find a slot on-street if you drive a 4.55 m long car. The same applies to the width. Of course it also means, less fuel consumption and more stability. I was actually looking for a big hatchback more than a SUV.
hybrid: CX-30 is hybrid whereas the CX-5 is not. It's kind of fake hybrid but still enough to comply with my country regulations to be able to drive in the centre of the city.
tech: CX-30 is also a newer generation car than the CX-5 avaliable when I bought it. I think there is a new CX-5 already available with the technology featured in CX-30 and Mazda 3, but I'm not sure. When I bought my CX-30 only the 2017 version of CX-5 was on sale.
@@eduardocastineyra6051 here in Ukraine we have difference less then 1 k $ between them. Hard to choose between size for the city and comfort
@@hollywoodquotes2147 Yes, it feels like the CX-5 gives you more value for the money than CX-30, specially if they are on par on technology. So it seems you should always choose the former. But they are both good cars, so pick the one you want and don't torture yourself trying to make the perfect decision.
I bought the cx30 too, but was shocked of how small the videos describe it to be, glad to know that your comfortable with it ! I’m 1.55 cm tall but I was worried about taller people who will ride along
I test drove both today. Can anyone explain why the CX5 drove more smoother and more cushiony than the CX30. I was under the impression they are very similar engine wise. I really had my sights on the CX30 until I liked the feel of the CX5 better. Really curious why.
Christopher Allan it’s probably a combination of a longer wheelbase and a softer suspension. In terms of wheelbase, think of a lincoln towncar versus a honda fit, or a ninja versus a harley.

Very nice review!
Helpful video. Include the boot space next time!
Moving forward i will cover that in the videos. You can check out the CX-5 and CX-30 trim level videos for a good luck at that space.
You got both vehicles front seat slided way back that's why you left less space on back seats. I drive lexus lx600 2023 business class and you won't believe me how small space you got on the back seats .Drivers right position on every vehicle is must be like this ... when you drive your car ,the wrists of your hands should be touched top of the wheel .Now if the driver seats are correctly adjusted the position the back seats will be comfortable for the passengers on back seats .
Is there a CX 5 2020? Thought the current model was launched since 2018
There is and a 2021 model right around the corner!
I wish Mazda made their vehicles larger.
theres always the cx-9
If cars get any bigger in this country everyone's gonna need a cdl license. It's really ridiculous!!!
Brent Leibhart Americans are growing 😂. Plus, they are a lot smaller on the inside. That is part of the reason as to why their sales are down. Go sit in the Accord and then sit in the Mazda 6 and you will see why.
Matthew Ammann you need to loose some weight buddy.
Maria Alvarado The “need to lose some weight” doesn’t hold any water. These vehicles are becoming progressively smaller then their competitors. Americans with family’s don’t want a small vehicle. Compare the CX9 vs the Pilot with sales. If Mazda wants to compete in America, then they need to make their vehicles larger with the same characteristics. And as for me, if I “lose” anymore weight I will be skin and bones. 😂
I was gonna buy 2019 mazda cx3 touring new but am afraid not to find parts later because the Touring trim id discontinued help me pls
are you panamenian? do you speak spanish?
Which would you choose this or the Hyundai Tucson
this because while the tucson has slightly interior space, it sucks on gas or fuel
What colour are those ?
The CX-30 is black and the CX-5 is machine grey!
how tall are you by the way? asking for reference purposes. I am a bit on the shorter side so it might help me determine the leg room in the back seat. thank you and loved this comparison!
He says 5’10” FYI
@@colbyboyer4289 thank you!
I meant CX 30
It has arrived dear
The sizes are not thst much different..,only 6 inches in length, and 3 inches in height
,not enough to matter that much..all depends on your wants and needs
My freaking honda fit has more leg room then both of them HAHAHA
So 30 < 5？ What bizarro world?
just ignore the 0..😉
Apparently there's a Cx 4 already in foreign markets, so Mazda USA didn't want to do the cx4 here as well to avoid confusion and conflicts. So it's cx3, cx30, cx4 [overseas], than the cx 5.
CX 30 looks wider
CX 30 for the girls, CX 5 for the boys
Everytime theirs a restyle of a model it grows in size. So sick of that. Americans i guess need to eat less.... the germans laugh at us Americans at the size of vehicles that we "think" we need. 🤭
My parents are German and I was raised frugally with mindset of not needing more. It’s passed onto me who until couple months ago only had one car between hubby and I. We own a Nissan micra and have an almost 4 year old. We don’t need more car and we’re happy enough. Recently got a Mazda 3 and I am really struggling to adjust to the size. I am glad I’ve got 360 camera and all the technology as it’s harder to see compared to my old micra which has no technology. A 3 is big enough for our family.
back seat review only! A bit boring and unnecessarily long. 9 minutes of very little info.
9 minutes of seating comparison?
Duh!! A 10 min video showing us that that there is more more in the seating area of the CX-5 than the CX-30....... Captain Obvious!!
boring, unwatchable imho
I agree
the worst video.Long boring
Almost lost interest in zMaxfa all together...As far as leg room every one is so different .
You have to sit in it to find out .Not watch this for them min
..I will come to the showroom and try it out........thks m.p.westchester n.y.
