2025 Mazda CX-30

Each trim in the CX-30 lineup wears Mazda’s Kodo design like a tailored suit—sleek, athletic, and undeniably elegant. Starting with the 2.5 S, you get a strong foundation with LED headlights and flowing lines that look in motion even at a standstill. The 2.5 S Select Sport ups the ante with black accents, heated power side mirrors, and 18-inch alloy wheels that wouldn’t look out of place at a Jags tailgate or parked outside a downtown bistro. Step into the 2.5 S Preferred and you’re rewarded with a panoramic sunroof—ideal for those golden Florida sunsets. Things get bolder with the 2.5 S Carbon Edition, dipped in Polymetal Gray Metallic and dressed up with red leather seats and black wheels—a sharp, urban statement. The 2.5 S Premium refines the package with a power liftgate and adaptive lighting for those late-night drives along the coast. At the top, the 2.5 Carbon Turbo wears its power with flair, featuring Zircon Sand Metallic paint, gloss-black roof rails and grille, and terracotta seats that give it an upscale vibe without losing its edge. From front fascia to rear spoiler, the CX-30 is built to impress.

Mazda gives you two powertrains to match your lifestyle. The naturally aspirated SKYACTIV ®-G 2.5L engine serves up a balanced 191 hp and 186 lbs.-ft. of torque—perfectly suited for the ebb and flow of Jacksonville traffic or daily commutes across the Dames Point Bridge. But if you’re the kind who likes a little extra muscle underfoot, the turbocharged version is a different beast entirely, with up to 250 hp and a torque surge of 320 lbs.-ft. Whether you’re merging onto I-295 or passing a semi on US-1, the boost is immediate and addictive. Pair that with the responsive SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission, and you’ve got performance that feels more German sport sedan than suburban crossover.

While FWD is typical in this class, Mazda equips every CX-30 with standard i-ACTIV AWD®—a nod to the brand’s commitment to driving confidence in all conditions. G-Vectoring Control Plus subtly tweaks engine output and braking to smooth out your turns, and the Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) system offers multiple drive modes tailored for everyday driving, sportier responses, or even off-road excursions. Yes, a compact crossover that can handle a dirt trail with grace—go figure.

Inside, the CX-30 doesn’t just meet expectations—it surpasses them with materials and craftsmanship that punch well above its price point. The layout is minimalist, elegant, and ergonomic, with available dual-zone climate control and an 8-way power driver’s seat that remembers your settings. Heated front seats provide comfort on the occasional chilly North Florida morning, while available leather upholstery raises the premium feel several notches. At center stage is a 10.25-inch display powered by the Mazda Connect™ system, putting wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, navigation, and settings within easy reach. Audiophiles will appreciate the optional 12-speaker Bose® system, which delivers a surprisingly rich soundstage—even during a windy drive down A1A. Add in solid rear legroom and a versatile cargo area, and the CX-30 is as practical as it is plush.

Mazda takes safety seriously, and the CX-30 proves it with the i-Activsense® suite. Whether you’re negotiating crowded parking lots in Town Center or navigating I-10 at dusk, features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Smart Brake Support work quietly in the background. Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go handles stop-and-go traffic with ease, while Lane-Keep Assist and Adaptive Front-Lighting help on longer drives out of town. For added peace of mind, the available 360-degree View Monitor provides a bird’s-eye perspective, making tight parking a breeze.
