Mazda has launched the CX-30 in Thailand. Our neighbouring market gets the crossover with the sole engine option of a naturally aspirated 2.0 litre SkyActiv-G engine with 165 PS/213 Nm and a six-speed automatic gearbox.
There’s no diesel option for Thailand, although our CX-30 has the option of a 1.8 litre SkyActiv-D oil burner with 114 hp/270 Nm, and the Thai CX-3 can be had with a 1.5 litre turbodiesel.
Three CX-30 trim levels are available in the Land of Smiles – the C at 989,000 baht (RM131,033), the S at 1.099 million baht (RM145,796) and 1.199 million baht (RM159,062) for the top SP with all the bells, whistles and Mazda’s i-Activsense suite of driver assist systems. These sticker prices are higher than the CX-3’s (from 34,000 to 116,000 baht more), but both will exist alongside the bigger/taller CX-5 – the CX-30 is an addition and not a replacement.
The CX-30 was launched by Bermaz in January. We get the “raised Mazda 3 hatchback” in three CBU Japan variants – the 2.0G, 2.0G High and 1.8D High. All are front-wheel drive with Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control Plus.
Kit wise, the 2.0G comes with 16-inch alloys, LED headlamps, push start, head-up display, manual air-con, fabric seats, silver dashboard trim, manual front seats, i-Stop auto start-stop and a reverse camera. The Mazda Connect infotainment system is linked to an 8.8-inch display and eight speakers, with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The 2.0G High and 1.8D High adds on automatic high beam and signature LEDs for the headlamps, 18-inch alloys, keyless entry, powered tailgate, powered sunroof and parking sensors at both ends (four front, six rear). Inside, High cars come with dual-zone climate control with rear vents, leather upholstery, a 10-way powered driver’s seat with memory, and paddle shifters.
On the safety front, all CX-30s come with seven airbags, DSC, Hill Launch Assist, electronic parking brake with auto hold and Isofix child seat anchors for the outer rear seats. The High cars add on i-Activsense, which includes Adaptive Front-Lighting System, High Beam Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Driver Attention Alert, Smart City Brake Support (front and rear) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control.
Our CX-30 starts from RM143,059 for the 2.0G, on-the-road without insurance. The 2.0G High goes for RM164,059 and the 1.8D High is yours for RM172,943. Bermaz includes a five-year/100,000 km factory warranty and five years of free maintenance. Full specs on CarBase.my.

I really can’t understand the need for a CX-30 when Mazda already has a CX-3 that slots in the B-segment SUV under the CX-5. Why don’t they just CKD the CX-3 here instead of importing it from Japan rather than introduce a CX-30?
Overpriced for such a tiny and small car. The legroom is so small that even the Myvi is more spacious and comfortable.
Utter waste of money
i think it’s the other way around. cx-30 will eventually replace cx-3. mazda has also confirmed mx-30 will be launched here so imo cx-3 will have to make way. otherwise, mazda will have too many SUVs in their offering. even if that’s the case, the lineup will still have cx-5 for 5-seater suv, cx-30/mx-30 for crossover suv, cx-8 for 7-seater, and cx-9 for luxury 7-seater. the SUV market is thriving.
Ini semua sarahan….
Basher said Camry only USD20K why not bash thai this time?
Haha
Why is the fuel door on the left side of the CX-30 when the fuel door indicator arrow in the instrument panel points to the right side of the car?
Now, no more per pressure to buy premium cars… aduih
We are upset by the slow technology movement but higher pricing and taxing of foreign cars.
think their cx-30 is made in thailand. like their mazda 3.
