Verdict

At RM122,409, the Mazda CX-30 2.0G 2WD Standard delivers the same 162 hp, 213 Nm 2.0-litre petrol engine, six-speed automatic and 6.4 L/100 km rated economy as the RM124,409 High. The RM2,000 gap buys useful everyday kit rather than extra pace: collision warning, front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, plus a 10-way power driver’s seat with memory. For Malaysian buyers, that is a small enough step to make the High the sharper buy unless the Standard’s 16-inch wheels are specifically preferred.

2.0G 2WD Standard

Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G 2WD Standard if you want the same 162 hp drivetrain, 8.8-inch infotainment and sunroof while saving RM2,000.

2.0G High 2WD

Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High 2WD if collision warning, 10-way power driver’s seat memory, rear air vents and parking sensors matter to you.
