The Mazda CX-30 has been priced for the Malaysian market. The Japanese firm’s SUV entry to slot between the CX-3 and the CX-5 will be offered at launch in three variants – a 2.0 litre petrol that will come in base 2.0 and 2.0 High trim levels, joined by a diesel in 1.8D High trim. Here, the base 2.0 and 2.0 High variants are listed at RM143,119 and RM164,119 respectively, with the 1.8D priced at RM173,027 – all prices are on-the-road without insurance for the fully imported CX-30.
The diesel engine here displaces 1,759 cc, and is a Skyactiv-D unit that produces 116 PS at 4,000 rpm and 270 Nm of torque from 1,600 to 2,700 rpm, while European specifications from July states fuel consumption as rated at 5.1 to 6.6 litres per 100 km.
For Malaysia, the CX-30 with the 2.0 litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine produces 163 hp at 6,000 rpm and 213 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Both petrol and diesel versions of the CX-30 drive the front wheels only via a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode, and all versions feature a 51 litre fuel tank.
Rolling stock for the base 2.0 petrol model are 16 x 6.5 J alloy wheels on 215/65R16 tyres, while the High spec petrol and diesel CX-30 are fitted with 18 x 7J alloy wheels on 215/55R18 tyres. At 4,395 mm long, 1,795 mm wide, 1,540 mm tall, with a 2,655 mm wheelbase, the Mazda CX-30’s physical size is right in between those of the CX-3 (4,275 mm long, 1,765 mm wide, 1,535 mm tall, 2,570 mm wheelbase) and the CX-5 (4,550 mm long, 1,840 mm wide, 1,675 mm tall, 2,700 mm wheelbase).
The CX-30 offers as much space between the front occupants as the CX-5, says Mazda, while ample head- and knee room come courtesy of a low rear seat hip point. Luggage compartment capacity is 430 litres with the all seats in position, and 1,432 litres with the rear seats folded.
Standard kit on the base 2.0 CX-30 include LED headlights, while the 2.0 High and the 1.8D gets LED headlights with the signature illumination. All variants get automatic headlamp operation and automatic levelling, while the 2.0 High and the 1.8D gains LED tail lamps with signature ilumination. Rain-sensing front wipers and rear wiper with washer are standard across the Malaysian CX-30 range.
The two higher trim levels get Mazda Advance Keyless Entry, powered tailgate and parking sensors at both ends, while power-adjustable and folding side mirrors with turn indicators, sunroof and rear spoiler are standard across all three.
Inside, the base CX-30 gets manual climate control while the 2.0 High and 1.8D get dual-zone auto climate control with rear seat vents and controls. All launch variants get a retractable cargo cover and LED interior lighting. Front seat adjustment is manual for the driver on the base model and 10-way power-adjustable with two memory banks for the 2.0 High and diesel variants; seat trim is fabric on the base car while the upper two variants get black leather upholstery.
Infotainment in the CX-30 across the range includes the Mazda Connect with voice control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, full-colour 8.8-inch display, multi-function Commander Control, 3.5 mm auxiliary audio input, Bluetooth, eight-speaker audio and reversing camera with width and length guide lines.
Similarly, safety kit is the same across the board here; all three variants get front, side, curtain and driver’s knee airbags, ABS, DSC, EBD, BA, traction control, hill start assist, emergency stop signal, auto hold, auto door lock, and seat belt warning for all occupants. All seats get three-point belts, while the front seat belts are equipped with pretensioners and load limiters with anchorage height adjustment.
All variants also get ISOFIX child seat mounts and engine immobilisers, while the 2.0 High and 1.8D versions get the advanced safety kit comprising adaptive front lighting, high beam control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, driver attention alert, smart brake support (autonomous emergency braking) and radar-guided cruise control.
As mentioned, the CX-30 arrives in Malaysia in fully imported form from Japan, though Mazda distributor in Malaysia Bermaz plans to introduce a CKD version later on, which will come from the Kulim, Kedah facility, where the CX-5 Turbo and the CX-8 will also be made. Eight exterior colours are listed for the CX-30 – Soul Red Crystal, Machine Gray, Snowflake White Pearl, Deep Crystal Blue, Sonic Silver, Polymetal Gray, Titanium Flash and Jet Black. The Mazda CX-30 is covered by a five-year/100,000 km manufacturer-backed warranty and a five-year free maintenance package.
What do you think, folks? Is the CX-30 next on your list? Which variant would you go for?

Sexy girl wearing pants – Mazda CX-30.
This game changing Mazda CX-30 is just outstanding! Just top up another RM20K and you can get a game changer with stunning design, complete features and top quality instead of an RM123K X70
No 4wd even with diesel engines! Whats the point?
The diesel engine output so low for a modern turbo diesel. Only 270NM of torque. I think its good to omit 4WD. The 2.2L version from the CX-5 has 420NM. I dont know what is purpose of this engine. Might as well buy the petrol version.
Its either this or the Toyota CHR
better to get xV….
Like: Toyota CHR
Dislike: Mazda CX-30
None.
C-HR is okay but it uses CVT. Suspension-wise, C-HR is better but no Toyota Safety Sense in C-HR.
Do u know that C-HR uses CVT? The best CVT car/SUV is C-RV. Have u watched Y. S. Khong video on how the C-RV drives climbing Genting? Droning sound is terrible. That is the best CVT transmission. Now, can u imagine the C-HR?
Yes, ada radar guided cruise control!!! Mcm ni lah.
what an entrance price! only if they can make Malaysia’s cars more expensive!
this CLEARLY show that even THEY know the Mazda 3 is WAY overpriced. They try to kill the sedan. Even their own.
ur eyes need check up? the mazda3 is cheaper than the cx30…..
Totally different appeal. Ppl who fancy Kia Forte Cerato , wont look at Sportage vice versa.
Good, there is MRCC. But we’ll see how much ‘blank’ buttons when coming to Malaysia. Hate those blank buttons on the steering wheel of Mazda3. Keeps reminding me that I’m driving a lower spec model even though it is the highest in our country.
Torsion beam pun x apalah, janji ada MRCC.
No mention on Lane-Keeping Assist? Haiya!
Great to see AEB and MRCC… Wait for CKD…
No more MRCC when CKD obviously..
Damn the black cladding around the bottom of the car make the car look ugly n cheap
Looks sporty to me. And easier to fix/replace.
Those painted metal parts with black claddings will be prime spots for rust to develop over the years.
no bose no 360 camera….sigh
Cbu again then only ckd… ok, lets wait for 1 more yr then. It will be easily 15-20k cheaper.
Bermaz is obliged to sell a few CBU models to help the Japanese economy before selling CKD models
Hopefully CKD models will see some reduction in price but not kit count
Pfft! I can buy 2 X50s for the price of one.
Pffttt you can buy 2 already out of date and obsolete X70 when China is using the new one already. Use your brain pffftttt
why buy x50 when can buy 6 units of the superior bezza…
grandpa, grandma, you, your wife, your wife’s boyfriend, your son that is not yours all also can have a car to drive
I’m so getting this. People complaining about price go and get your China cars la scrubs
116ps for diesel is quite low. Even malaysian not very keen on diesel engine. The stigma of black smoke, maitainence cost, turbo engine breakdown, euro5 avalibility all dosent add up for viable option. They should have bring in skyactive-x the most advance engine on market.
Quite a price. Kit is extensive but without CKD pricing this model won’t sell well.
With such a high price cbu not even have 360 degree camera like international cx30??!! Wtf
Yesss finally got mrcc(adaptive cruise control)!!!
5 year warranty or 100K KM milage?! Is that a joke?
no, its better than the 2 year warranty on ur mesidis
Where is skyactive X?
Buy X70, with plenty of change left for upgrades and family cuti-cuti roadtrips with new X70.
u have to pay for service and high fuel consumption
270nm from a 1.8 turbo diesel? That’s quite weak, considering that diesels make more torque than petrols. Honda’s 1.5 turbo petrol makes 243nm…
Now i notice why all these mazda driver drive, so slow in the highway regardless sedan or suvs… Their hp n output seem to be rather low (except cx5 2.5turbo).whats the use with only good handling but no power!??
In my opinion x70 is the best choice but depends on buyer’s budget
Wish the CKD version come in 2.5 turbo with all those goodies. This is more sexy than CX3 and CX5.
