Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Mazda CX-30 is a five-seat C-segment SUV launched in 2020, with a 1,998 cc petrol engine, 162 hp and a conventional automatic transmission across its four 2WD variants. It suits buyers who want a Mazda-badged crossover rather than a larger family SUV. Prices start from RM122,409.

CX-30 in 2026 — what's new

The Mazda CX-30 carries into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific mechanical or trim update announced. The Malaysian range remains locally assembled and uses the same 2.0-litre, 162 hp petrol powertrain in four 2WD variants: Standard, High, High+ and High+ Premium. Its latest change is a price reduction of up to RM5,000 announced in 2025, bringing the range to its current RM122,409-RM154,409 bracket.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the 2.0G 2WD Standard at RM122,409. All four variants use the same 1,998 cc 162 hp petrol engine, conventional automatic transmission, 2WD layout and five-seat cabin, so there is no mechanical reason to stretch further. The 2.0G High costs RM124,409, while the High+ and High+ Premium cost RM144,409 and RM154,409 respectively. On paper, the extra money is for trim rather than mechanicals; check the equipment list before paying the RM10,000 High+-to-Premium gap.

Verdict

The CX-30 is a straightforward petrol C-segment SUV choice with four 2WD trims and one 162 hp powertrain. Its entry price is higher than the Proton eMas 7, Proton X70, Jetour Dashing and iCaur 03, but sits below the GAC Emkoo and BYD Atto 3. The large RM32,000 spread within the CX-30 range needs close scrutiny because the core engine, transmission, seating and drivetrain do not change.
