While its low-end performance is lacklustre, the CX-30 appeals thanks to its high-end interior, generous equipment levels and economical engines. We’d stick to the entry-level 2.0-litre e-Skyactiv G petrol engine, and pair it with Centre-Line trim.
You won’t find a turbocharger on this 2.0-litre engine, so you really have to thrash it past 4000rpm before it feels as strong as its 183bhp and 0-62mph time of 8.3sec suggest. CO2 emissions are low and if you drive it carefully it'll average officially over 50mpg, which is very good.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
