Mazda CX-30

Mazda CX-30 is a compact crossover for drivers who want a small SUV shape without moving up to a bulky family wagon. By our assessment, its main strength is that it fits the city well while still giving the higher seating position and hatchback practicality people expect from this class. The trade-off is the usual one for compact crossovers: the rear and cargo space are not as generous as in larger SUVs, so it is more about tidy packaging than big capacity. On the road, this kind of car tends to feel easy to place and easy to park, which is the point. It sits in the crowded middle of the crossover market, between plain economy transport and larger, more spacious SUVs. People who want a neat daily driver with a slightly upscale feel will look here first, while anyone needing maximum room will keep moving.
