Bermaz Motor has updated the Mazda CX-30 for the 2022 model year, with two new Ignite Edition variants joining the line-up. The CX-30 is the second model to get the Ignite Edition treatment after the CX-9 last September.
The Ignite Edition variants of the CX-30 are based on the existing 2.0G High and 2.0G High AWD, the latter of which is now discontinued. As such, the range now starts with the base 2.0G Core (RM145,759), followed by the 2.0G High (RM160,109), 2.0G High Ignite Edition (RM169,044), 2.0G High AWD Ignite Edition (RM180,689), while the sole diesel option is the 1.8D High (RM168,673.60).
The prices mentioned are on-the-road without insurance and inclusive of the ongoing sales tax exemption – 50% as the CX-30 continues to be a fully-imported (CBU) model. No word on exactly when we can expect local assembly (CKD) to start, although the company has said this will happen this year.
In terms of styling, the Ignite Edition variants get some visual tweaks like 18-inch wheels that are the same size as those fitted on the variants they are based on, albeit finished in black rather than silver. Similarly, the side mirror caps are in black rather than body colour. Meanwhile, the interior upholstery is burgundy leather rather than black.
As for equipment changes, the Ignite Edition variants gain a 360-degree surround view camera instead of a usual reverse camera. The i-Activsense suite of safety and driver assistance systems has also been improved to include Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA), Driver Attention Alert and Driver Monitoring as well as Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS), the last of which is a Level 2 semi-autonomous highway driving mode with steering assist to keep you in lane.
The new systems join existing ones like 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).
Bermaz Motor also said one universal change for the whole CX-30 range is both USB ports – one at the dashboard and one under the front armrest – can now be used to connect your smartphone to the Mazda Connect infotainment system for media inputs or Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (previously only the dashboard-mounted USB port supported this).
Beyond these enhancements, the Ignite Edition variants carry over the same kit, with both the 2.0G High and 2.0G High AWD versions coming as standard with automatic LED headlamps with signature LED DRLs, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry and engine start, a powered sunroof, a powered tailgate, a seven-inch multi-info display, a coloured head-up display, paddle shifters, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, powered driver’s seat and an 8.8-inch infotainment display
Both also get i-Stop idling and G-Vectoring Control Plus, but the 2.0G High AWD Ignite Edition also comes with an additional Off-road Traction Assist function to maximise traction on slippery surfaces for its traction control system. This is included as part of its i-Activ all-wheel drive system, which is linked to a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission and SkyActiv-G 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine that makes 162 hp at 6,000 rpm and 213 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.
The rest of the 2.0G variants (Core, High and High Ignite Edition) use the same engine and transmission but drive only goes to the front wheels. This is also true of the 1.8D High, although it has a SkyActiv-D 1.8 litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with 114 hp at 4,000 rpm and 270 Nm from 1,600 to 2,700 rpm instead.
The other variants also maintain the same equipment as before, following prior updates that Bermaz Motor have made since the CX-30 was first launched back in January 2020.
With the revised Mazda CX-30 range, the variant line-up in ascending order of price is now as follows:
- Mazda CX-30 2.0G Core – RM145,759
- Mazda CX-30 2.0G High – RM160,109
- Mazda CX-30 1.8D High – RM168,673.60
- Mazda CX-30 2.0G High Ignite Edition – RM169,044
- Mazda CX-30 2.0G High AWD Ignite Edition RM180,689
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with myTukar.
Is the dashboard and door trim still brown color or changed to black?
Changed to Black.
To put into context, this car is a HRV/Corolla Cross fighter priced at Fortuner/CRV level. Just think about it for a bit.
and your point is?
if we are going to discuss about price, let’s not forget even more ridiculously overpriced cars like the Mercedes GLA, Mini Countryman, Lexus UX, Audi Q3, BMW X1/X2 exists too…
im not the badge snob, but why you compare overpriced conti cars with this overpriced mazda? yes they all overpriced, the different is nobody thinking you are rich by driving a mazda.
Oh, but you are. coz ur not paying for overpriced conti cars. duh..
All those came with heritage & brand prestige which Mazda has none. Even Lexus took decades to build their image to where it sits today and you think Mazda can do that in just a few years? ROFLOL
Mazda is over 100 years old. can you say the same for others? i thought so.
Toyota is well over 100 years old yet they see the need to setup Lexus as their upmarket brand. Why? Toyota name not good enough? i thought so.
yes, you thought so. noone else needs to. bye.
The point is, this car is overpriced for what it’s worth. Priced it Rm20k lower and it would be a good value.
If you want to discuss price comparison between a normal car brand vs a luxury one, let’s do it but get your head screwed on properly before you do, your comparison doesn’t make any sense.
i think you are the one that needs proper screwing. so as long as the car has a “luxury brand” the price is justifiable even though there is nothing within it that befits the “luxury” status. great. super “sensible”
That is what envious Jap owners say to justify not being able to buy a German marque. Go to showroom feel a German car and request a test drive and do the same for your prefer Jap car if you don’t own one, then come back here and write your comment. I am sure you will write differently.
If you think it overprice, then its not for you.. the target market is not for you..
This is a Bsegment Japanese brand passenger car, in the same tune as HRV & CC but at a much higher price than both. So which target market are you referring, the dumb but monied people market?
well its definitely not your RapidKL MY50 market
It takes a RapidKL rider like you to not know the difference between a normal brand like Mazda vs luxury tiered brands.
Go to showroom feel the CX-30 and request a test drive and do the same for the rest of car models that you mentioned if you don’t own one, then come back here and write your comment. I am sure you will write differently.
i have. and i have placed order for the Mazda. it’s the best car!
I have. and i will still buy it.
To put into context, this car is a better BMW priced at Fortuner/CRV level. Just think about it for a bit.
Delusional thinking this is on par with a BMW. Maybe the BMW kids push car you mean. ROFL
yea, the bmw kids push their cars all the time when it breaks down
way toooooo mucchhh expensive……
it’s not expensive considering it’s a cbu car
It’s not expensive considering u’ve get a 5+1 yrs warranty without fork out your penny when u are doing the schedule service + maintenance. And it’s CBU unit.
Waiting for the 2.5 turbo AWD CX-30.
Better yet bring in the newly launched rugged CX-50.
Thai facelifted models are much more better, i do not understand why we do not get Thai spec. very frustrating
thai model gets CTS up to 145km/h and they have Bose speakers.. Bermaz is cutting corner too much. Mazda models in malaysia always received lower spec than the neighbouring country but priced higher.
Even the CX-5 built in Malaysia for Thai market has Bose speakers and adaptive cruise control and better sport rims. why they cant provide it to local market. That is sooo strange.
Maybe Bermaz is focusing on KIA and Peugeot now..
I must say Honda is better at this since our models is always the highest spec in the region.
I think you are misinformed. the CTS does not go to that speed in any country.
Nope bro, you are misinformed. The recently updated CX-30 (2022) in thai does support CTS up to 145km/h. CTS in many country also does support up to 145km/h bro.
Impossible bro. that is for MRCC. pls check your facts.
Oh my god bro.. you are the one who should check your fact bro.. pls just google Mazda CTS 145km/h its not that hard realllyy. It does support up to 145km/h in another countries… MRCC and CTS is 2 different system bro. please read more before commenting… aiyoo
already read long ago.
MRCC is the one that controls the headway function up to 145kmh. CTS assist function cannot go up to 145kmh, but only up to 55 kmh. u are the one confused by thinking CTS does the MRCC’s function when in fact it is the other way around.aiyoo..
Well.. you read long time ago which i assumed at that time CTS can only go up to 55km/h. It is now support up to 145km/h (Not yet in our country tho). you can go ahead and accept what ever you want to accept.
Fact is CTS can go up to 145km/h. MRCC as well. Further to that, in some country MRCC support up to 200km/h. If you want to disagree it is up to you then. i dont have any problem at all.. lulss
i don’t assume. luls. CTS up to 145kmh?.. lol. for sure noone will agree with that “fact”. peace out bro.
You are the only person who cannot accept the fact that CTS can go up to 145km/h.. Stop living in denial bro.. lulsss
wait…why they dont paint the side and rear bumper? it looks like cheap plastic.
SKYACTIV-X please.
What does it Ignite? The fuel tank?
Lol, so butt hurt. try again.
