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 equipmentThe most obvious change over SE-L Lux is the addition of 18in alloy wheels and gloss black detailing on the grille and roof pillars. Look closer and you’ll see adaptive LED headlights, privacy glass, a powered tailgate and a sunroof.
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.
