Mazda CX-30: Broadening Horizons

With All-New Mazda CX-30 small SUV, Mazda has created a model that delivers style and an enjoyable driving experience in a spacious package that ensures all passengers can appreciate its superb comfort and refinement. CX-30 Program Manager Naohito Saga explains: “Our vision with this car is to broaden life’s possibilities for customers and enrich how they see the world. People with a variety of needs, or those with changing lifestyles can feel confident in choosing the CX-30.” So what can customers expect? Mazda has concentrated its efforts in the following key areas with the CX-30. Firstly, the car was created to be just the right size for any driver, and to offer excellent performance, so owners can take it wherever they want it to go without hesitation. The design is intended to embody the joy of owning something special, with a spacious cabin for owners to share good times with family and friends.

  INTERIOR

The cabin is designed with a focus on all occupants. For the driver, a high seating position gives great visibility, while a pared-back dashboard design removes visual clutter. The risk of distraction is reduced by positioning the instruments in a way that makes them intuitive to use, and angling the 8.8-inch information display towards the driver. The cabin space has been used wisely to ensure more relaxing space for the other occupants. “Four people can ride in comfort,” says Saga. “We extended the space from side to side, plus we created space between the front seats and the rear. The feeling of being wrapped by the interior and the feeling of distance between the seats – this car nails these things.” The relaxed ambience is enhanced by minimal noise intrusion, while high-quality materials and a coordinated design approach reinforce the premium feel.

  ON THE ROAD

The CX-30 uses Mazda’s Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture, which is based on a “human-centric” approach to car design, and is geared towards key components such as the engine and suspension working in harmony with the driver. “It doesn’t feel like a crossover to drive,” says Saga. “And yet it’s not a passenger car. It feels smooth. You feel in sync.”
