mAZDA Cx-30
INDIVIDUAL
By Alan Rosenmeyer
It’s always exciting when a manufacturer launches an all-new model
in their range. It’s even more exciting for me personally to then get
the new car for a full test review only one day after experiencing it
briefly during the launch drive.
T he new Mazda Cx-30 fits very neatly into
the family Crossover/SuV category that
dominates the market. Based on the platform
of the latest generation Mazda3, it slots in
perfectly between the Cx3 and Cx5 models.
It’s packed full of the latest technology such as
SkyActive chassis and engine and all the innovations
that these include, but it was the sheer smoothness
of the drive that immediately struck me the most.
Mazda has made no secret of its desire to move
upmarket and to be recognised as a premium brand.
In my opinion, the latest Mazda3 was a big step in
that direction - the Cx-30 is a quantum leap.
