Yahoo Autos 2024 Mazda CX-30 offers 8 trims, priced from $26k-$38k
Among compact SUVs, the small-ish Mazda CX-30 has long been a favorite for drivers who value athletic abilities and better-that-ordinary interiors. For the 2024 model year, the choices for the gasoline-powered CX-30 are many and varied: a full complement of eight trim levels have been announced by the brand, topped by a “2.5 Carbon Turbo” addition putting out 250 horsepower, and a newly available 10.25 inch center display with touchscreen.
Pricing for the base 2.5 S CX-30 starts at $26,370, and the MSRPs extend up to $38,175 for the upscale 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus, including a destination charge of $1,375 across the line. To those prices, add $450 to $595 for each of the five “premium paint” exterior colors.
The standard CX-30 2.5 S ($26,370) features Mazda’s updated Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter, four-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine, delivering 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. The transmission is a six-speed automatic transmission. The Mazda is among the few CUV entries remaining that still has a six-speed automatic.
All CX-30 models are equipped with all-wheel drive, and G-Vectoring Control Plus and Off-Road Traction Assist as standard. The interior of the S has an 8.8-inch center display with the latest Mazda Connect infotainment system that can be controlled with the multi-function commander knob and is integrated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In keeping with the connections on new Apple iPhones, Mazda has added a pair of USB-C inputs.
The new CX-30 2.5 S Select Sport model ($27,875), which first debuted on 2024 Mazda3, features available Ceramic Metallic paint, 18-inch alloy wheels, black leatherette seats, leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel with mounted audio, Bluetooth and Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry. There’s also a 2.5 S Preferred package ($30,165) with heated seats and a power moonroof.
Next up on the price scale is 2.5 S Carbon edition ($31,165), offered in Polymetal Gray exterior paint, which is exclusive for the naturally-aspirated models, and complemented with red leather seats and interior. There’s an upgraded eight-speaker audio system with Mazda Harmonic Acoustics and HD Audio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a wireless Qi phone charger.
