Mazda CX-30
The CX-30 is the most fun to drive crossover in the subcompact segment. It offers a choice of two engines. The naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder produces 186 horsepower, while the turbocharged variant delivers 227 or 250 horsepower depending on the fuel type. In both cases, a six-speed transmission comes standard. While the design is appealing, visibility remains a problem, especially to the rear. For 2026, upgraded dampers and two Kuro editions are added to the lineup.
