Just a few months after the Mazda CX-30 made its launch debut in Malaysia, Bermaz Motor has now updated the SUV with an additional all-wheel drive variant and additional features. With this update, the SUV model is available in a total of four variants, including the base 2.0G, 2.0G High, the new 2.0G High AWD and 1.8D High.
Pricing-wise, the new 2.0G High AWD retails at RM176,059 on-the-road without insurance, which now makes it the most expensive variant in the line-up, overshadowing the 1.8D High that goes for RM172,943.60. As for the other variants, the 2.0G High is unchanged at RM164,059, while the base option is now RM2,700 more at RM145,759 (more on that later).
Under the bonnet, the petrol-powered 2.0G High AWD uses the same SkyActiv-G 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine found in the other 2.0G variants, which serves up 162 hp at 6,000 rpm and 213 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.
This is paired with a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission and i-Activ all-wheel drive system, so if you need the CX-30 with all-wheel drive, this is the only variant to choose from, as all other variants – even the 1.8D High – is front-wheel drive only. All variants come with Mazda’s i-Stop idling and G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) technologies.
In terms of equipment, the 2.0G High AWD is pretty much identical to the 2.0G High and 1.8D High variants. Standard items include 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps and taillights, keyless entry and engine start, automatic wipers, a powered tailgate, 10 parking sensors (four front and six rear), and a reverse camera.
As for the interior, it comes with black leather upholstery, a 10-way powered driver’s seat with memory function, an 8.8-inch Mazda Connect infotainment system, an Active Driving Display (head-up display), a seven-inch digital instrument cluster display, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, and an electronic parking brake with auto hold function.
On the safety and driver assistance front, seven airbags continue to be a standard on all variants, along with the usual mix of systems: ABS, DSC, EBD, EBA, Hill Launch Assist, Isofix child seat anchors and seatbelt warning for all seats. A traction control system is also listed, but the 2.0G High AWD’s version includes an Off-road Traction Assist function to maximise traction on slippery surfaces.
The i-Activsense suite of systems is also present, and consists of Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS), High Beam Control (HBC), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Driver Attention Alert (DAA), Smart City Brake Support (front and rear) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC).
As mentioned earlier, the base 2.0G sees a price hike of RM2,700 and the reason for that is because it now comes with keyless entry and a walk away lock function that wasn’t there previously. Beyond that changes, everything else on the variant remains as before.
Also unchanged is the number of colours offered for all variants, including Soul Red Crystal, Machine Grey, Titanium Flash, Jet Black, Deep Crystal Blue, Sonic Silver, Snowflake White Pearl and Polymetal Grey Metallic. All CX-30 models come with a five-year/100,000 km manufacturer-backed warranty and a five-year free maintenance package. Find full specifications of the new Mazda CX-30 on CarBase.my.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Despite increase by rm2k more, CX30 got excellent specs & cheaper than CRV
And u saved 100K than same segment the XC40.
This is better than Covid-tainted European brand that is not so European anymore.
In addition, geely, cherry and proton are also better than scary quality honda
Any time go for Mazda that looks more fun and premium feel.
Habislah to Honda. No one will ever touch Honda CRV with expensive prices. Even honda service labour also increase from RM75 to RM135K. Aftersales service also terrible with giving me more higher price for repairing spare parts for my honda car.
Sorry, got mistake! Not “RM75 to RM135K”! It is “RM75 to RM135”.
Wiser Malaysians will buy a car with good safety just like this with cheaper service, even though this car price is slightly higher. It is already proven that Mazda Quality are superbly high and time tested and becoming improvement soon.
With the right discounts from Proton, I could buy 2 X70s for the price of this car.
Masa susah ni, baik amek Proton x50 Rm76k aje
also can go for 3 biji proton x50 rather than this overprice brand.
(Like) Mazda CX30
(Dislike) Honda CR-V
Direct rival for 2.0 AWD should be XV
What the f……? Pay RM2,700 for keyless entry. Go fly kite Bermaz, may you collapse faster than AirAsia
Was just about to mention the keyless entry should have been standard kit in 2020 when they wanna ask 145k from their customers.
In year 2020, still got pipu pay >RM100k for a car with keys? Lolz!
Better buy cx-5 2.5t than this. Pricr almost same. More specs n power.
No la din. CX-5 is still under-spec. The only advantage of CX-5 is got turbo, larger, CKD, 360 camera, multi-link rear suspension. CX-5 dashboard look dated now compared to CX-30. CX-5 doesnt even have MRCC.
There are better *ahem* SUV out there than this CX30. Better, I mean…..more powerful, cheaper price and better specification.
better buy the honda crv turbo
Good Update. Normally they make the package is to attract buyer buy high spec. Economic not good buyer sure cut budget so is good to update base model and make the base model more competitive.
CX30 supposed to be in between CX3 & CX5,
Mazda is pushing all its new model price up – and pushing all potential customers.
Good luck Mazda
The MRCC in our CX-30 does not brake the SUV until stop if there is a stopping car in-front. Take note that! The ACC in CR-V and Civic however, will follow until stop. Don’t be so gullible, Mazda lover.
