2020 Mazda CX-30

A New-Generation Compact Crossover SUV

As a brand-new addition to the Mazda lineup, the 2020 Mazda CX-30 offers refined quality in all the areas that matter to drivers. The Mazda CX-30 is a compact crossover SUV based on the fourth generation Mazda3. With available four-wheel drive and lightweight construction to improve performance and economy, Mazda CX-30 is designed for those who create their own stories and go wherever opportunity takes them.

The design philosophy of the Mazda CX-30 is called “charge and release.” Influenced by a single stroke of ink that starts from above the front tires, flows toward the back and releases its energy with inspired flair. The result is a form that energizes drivers even before they get behind the wheel.

The Mazda CX-30’s interior, with rich hues and textures, is another signature of Mazda’s commitment to craftsmanship. The elegant dash line wraps seamlessly into the main cabin and creates a space that’s inclusive and inviting to all.

“We, at Mazda, endeavor to take the beauty of our cars to the level of art. We are pursuing Japanese beauty, which is called ‘Beauty by Subtraction.’ By eliminating excess, we will emphasize simple, rich and beautiful forms."

- Ryo Yanagisawa, MAZDA CX-30 Chief Designer

The Mazda CX30 is a new model in a new generation of Mazda cars that offer refined quality in every area. This Mazda lets drivers (and passengers) truly enjoy the many ways a vehicle can enrich your lifestyle. The Mazda CX-30 is designed to help make your daily driving routine extraordinary. For instance, do you commute with others on your way to work? The Mazda CX-30 has the Skyactiv^®-X quiet architecture that lets you enjoy more in-car conversations with your passengers.

Next-Generation Kodo Design

Since 2010, Mazda has created cars that embody the dynamic beauty of life through application of its Kodo - Soul of Motion design philosophy. "Breathing Life Into The Car" is Mazda’s philosophy, an all-encompassing vision intended to become an ongoing tradition. The new generation of Mazda vehicles expresses a “new elegance” based on Japanese aesthetic sensibilities.

With the Mazda CX-30, the word “elegance” implies a beauty that is subtle and restrained, yet rich and abundant. Within its conveyed impression of dignified tension, next-generation design there is also a hint of warmth and seductiveness. All this makes the Mazda CX-30 a stylish car to look at and drive.

The interior design establishes a connection between driver and car with a natural-feeling environment that makes the driver and passengers feel comfortable -- without feeling overly restrictive. This hones Mazda’s Jinba-ittai connection -- when the car and driver act as one.

The next-generation design aims to breathe life into cars with a “less is more” aesthetic. Eliminating all but the truly essential elements creates precious spaces surrounding simple forms. To these, Mazda applies effective use of light and shadow to create subtle details to achieve the desired result. This embodiment of the “less is more” ideal further refines the Jinba-ittai experience Mazda is constantly working to achieve.

With next-generation design, Mazda is reinterpreting the very essence of Japanese aesthetics and its subtle beauty, which has been cultivated since ancient times. The goal is to create an elegant and refined atmosphere with a sense of vitality that makes Mazda cars come truly alive.

SKYACTIV^®-X Next Generation Gasoline Engine

The next-generation Skyactiv^®-X gasoline engine is a revolutionary powerplant that combines the free-revving characteristics of a gasoline engine with the fuel efficiency, torque and fast throttle response of a diesel.

Thanks to its proprietary Spark Controlled Compression Ignition (SPCCI) technology, Skyactiv^®-X is set to become the world’s first* commercial gasoline engine to use compression ignition to realize an unprecedented level of sharp engine response and high torque acceleration combined with better fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions than ever before.

At the same time as pursuing this ideal internal combustion engine, Mazda also developed a new platform, next-generation Skyactiv^®-Vehicle Architecture, with increased focus on our human-centered design philosophy to maximize the inherent ability of the human body. Together, these groundbreaking next-generation technologies synergistically support Mazda’s world-renowned Jinba-ittai driving experience.

Next Generation SKYACTIV^®-Vehicle Architecture Platform

Mazda’s Skyactiv^®-Vehicle Architecture was developed with an intense focus on human-centered design to maximize the human body’s inherent ability to balance itself. It offers more comfortable and less tiring driving and enables all occupants to respond quickly to environmental changes. With the human body easily able to balance itself in response to driving inputs, the new vehicle architecture provides responsive driving and the ultimate Jinba-ittai (driver and car acting as one) driving feel.

To realize these advantages, the development team reviewed every aspect of the car platform for comprehensive vehicle optimization. The resulting innovations include redesigned seats that keep the pelvis upright to maintain the spine’s natural “S” curve, a body that interacts with the chassis to transmit inputs without delay, a chassis structure with each part interacting to smoothly control energy transfer to the sprung mass, and NVH performance meticulously optimized based on vibration energy characteristics and the mechanisms by which humans perceive sound.

The result is the quietest, most comfortable, best handling Mazda vehicles ever.
