Reviews Summary

The rear-seat room is cramped and the cargo space is tight, but the tradeoff is an appealing design, a classy and high-quality interior, and enjoyable driving dynamics, especially with the available turbocharged engine. Imagine what a Mazda 3 hatchback would be like with a raised suspension and thick lower body cladding, and you'll get the gist of the 2023 CX-30. Updates for 2023 include a more powerful base engine and improved side-impact collision protection.

Reviews Summary

Range anxiety, the fear of driving an electric car and running out of battery charge, is a real thing. Studies show it’s a top concern among people who are considering an EV. Yet the new 2022 Mazda MX-30 EV provides only about 100 miles of range—much less than its primary competitors, let alone the majority of modern electrics, can offer. What gives? We’ll explain.
