The Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Mazda. Based on the fourth-generation Mazda3, it debuted at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, to slot in between the CX-3 and the CX-5. It went on sale in Japan on 24 October 2019, [14] [12] [7] with global units being produced at Mazda's Hiroshima factory, North and South American units built in Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico, [1] [3] [4] Thailand and initial Australian units made at the AutoAlliance Thailand plant in Rayong, [5] [15] and China-market units produced in Nanjing by Changan Mazda.

The CX-30 features lightweight construction to improve performance and economy, and is offered in either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). In the US, AWD became standard for the 2022 model year and the FWD model was removed from the lineup. [16]
According to Naohito Saga, the CX-30's program manager, the CX-30 is targeted to drivers who are still single or are married and starting a family in the United States. Mazda chief designer Ryo Yanagisawa said that it will be more acceptable as a family car in Europe and Japan. [7] Saga also noted that Mazda named the vehicle CX-30, to avoid confusion with the China-only CX-4. [17] [18] [7]
The CX-30 was released in the UK in December 2019 [19] and in North America in January 2020.

The CX-30 received positive reviews upon its release. Top Gear gave it a score of 7 out of 10, with the verdict being: "Good car, the Mazda CX-30. Handles well, looks smart and has a lovely interior." [35] Car and Driver rated it 9.5 out of 10, commenting that "If you're shopping small SUVs, the Mazda CX-30 should be at the top of your consideration list." [36] Edmunds.com gave it a score of 7.9 out of 10, commenting that "Admittedly, it's a niche vehicle, but it has the potential to be a 'just-right' fit for car shoppers who want a slightly roomier and nicer vehicle than an subcompact crossover SUV but don't like the greater cost of bigger models such as the CX-5 or CR-V." [37] Alan Taylor-Jones of Autocar gave the CX-30 four out of five stars, saying: "Satisfyingly agile and blessed with a truly high quality interior, the CX-30 is a tempting choice if you don’t need vast amounts of space inside." [38]
On the other hand, Christian Seabaugh of Motor Trend was not impressed with the CX-30, saying that "The end result is that it feels neither sporty nor luxurious. Like the brand itself, the CX-30 (alongside the more successful CX-5) finds itself stuck in the middle. Worse still, it's a disappointing effort in a competitive class." [39] What Car? rated the CX-30 three out of five stars, commenting that "Its real strength lies in its ability to feel as luxurious as premium brands in this class at a much cheaper price. Just remember that rear space is tight and the boot isn’t anything to write home about, either." [40]
The CX-30 won the 2020 Red Dot Design Award in the Passenger Car category, [41] [42] as well as the 2020 Autozeitung Design Trophy in the SUV category.

U.S. News & World Report ranked the Mazda CX-30 at No. 1 (tied with the Kia Soul and Hyundai Kona) on its list of Best Subcompact SUVs for 2022, giving it a score of 8.4 out of 10. [49]
In 2024, the CX-30 was one of seven subcompact SUVs listed on Car and Driver 's Editors' Choice. [50]
