The 2026 Mazda CX-30 continues to lead the subcompact crossover class by prioritizing premium interior quality and sharp driving dynamics over sheer cargo volume. For this model year, Mazda has introduced a new Aire Edition (available in both standard and turbo configurations), which features a distinctive light-colored interior with white leatherette and gray suede-like trim paired with blacked-out exterior accents. Mechanically, the 2026 model receives meaningful refinements to its ride quality, including updated dampers for a smoother feel and a new brake-based limited-slip differential to enhance traction during spirited cornering. While the standard 186-hp engine remains the choice for efficiency, the 250-hp Turbo variant continues to offer performance that rivals luxury-brand competitors. Tech updates round out the package, with the larger 10.25-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone integration now standard on a wider range of mid-tier trims.
