Mazda CX-30 2.0 e-Skyactiv X MHEV SE-L Lux 5dr Auto Review

Section: Version review

The model
Read full reviewIf you’re after an SUV with a high-end interior, lots of kit and an economical petrol engine, the Mazda CX-30 should definitely be on your shortlist. But it comes with quite a few shortfalls to be a real contender, such as its lack of low-end performance, tight rear passenger space and relatively small boot. The Skoda Karoq is a much more rounded proposition.
The trim
See full equipmentStill not too expensive with all the goodies of SE-L plus front parking sensors, a reversing camera, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and a variable-height boot floor.
The engine
See full engine specsYou 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.
