Verdict
The Mazda CX-30 2.0G High+ 2WD is RM10,000 dearer than the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High 2WD, and the money goes into convenience and driver-assist kit rather than the oily bits. Both use the same 162 hp/213 Nm 1,998 cc petrol engine, six-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic and front-wheel drive, with the same 6.4 L/100 km rating and 430-litre boot. The High+ is the easier daily car thanks to its 360-degree camera, navigation, folding mirrors, Driver Monitoring and Cruising & Traffic Support. The High is the value play if those items do not matter.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High 2WD if you want the same engine, gearbox, economy rating, boot space, sunroof, head-up display and powered tailgate for less money.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High+ 2WD if you want the extra camera, navigation, folding mirrors and added driver-assist functions.
