The Mazda CX-30 continues to stand out as one of the most stylish and performance-driven compact SUVs in its class. At LaFontaine Mazda Kalamazoo, serving Paw Paw, MI, Portage, MI, Plainwell, Allegan, and Battle Creek, MI, we’re breaking down the key differences between the 2025 and 2026 Mazda CX-30 models—both designed to deliver an engaging driving experience with premium craftsmanship.
The 2025 Mazda CX-30 built on Mazda’s Kodo design philosophy, offering sleek exterior styling, a driver-focused interior, and dynamic handling. Powered by a 2.5L SKYACTIV®-G four-cylinder engine producing up to 191 horsepower—or an available 250-horsepower turbocharged option—the 2025 model provided exceptional performance for its size. Standard i-ACTIV AWD® and G-Vectoring Control Plus ensured confident traction in all conditions, while advanced technology like the Mazda Connect™ infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and the Mazda i-Activsense® safety suite made it as smart as it was fun to drive.
For 2026, Mazda takes refinement a step further. The 2026 Mazda CX-30 introduces subtle updates to exterior styling, including new wheel designs and color choices, giving it an even bolder look. Inside, you’ll find enhanced materials, improved cabin insulation, and updated infotainment software for faster response and a smoother user experience. Additionally, Mazda has optimized fuel efficiency and ride comfort through minor suspension recalibrations and drivetrain tuning. The result is a quieter, more balanced, and even more enjoyable drive.
While the 2025 CX-30 remains an exceptional choice for style and value, the 2026 Mazda CX-30 brings thoughtful enhancements that elevate its comfort, technology, and refinement.
