Pros & cons

Mazda CX-30

Efficient for its class at 6.5 combined consumption
Lively daily performance: 186 hp and 0–100 km/h in 8.5 s
Practical compact-family fit with 430 L trunk and 5 seats
Not aimed at performance driving; 200 km/h top speed won’t thrill enthusiasts
Lacks premium positioning if you want an upscale badge
430 L cargo and 5 seats may be tight versus larger SUVs
8.5 s to 100 km/h is capable, but not class-leading

Generous 1080 L cargo area for strollers, luggage, and gear
Efficient for its class at 5.8 combined with about 600 km range
Good value in its segment at around 29000
Not for performance driving; acceleration and top speed are modest
Five seats only with no third-row option
More practical than premium in cabin feel and features
221 Nm torque may feel limited for quick passing when fully loaded
