           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.
