I drove a $39,000 Mazda CX-30 Turbo. It's like a sports car disguised as a small SUV.
Briefly

The Mazda CX-30, a subcompact crossover SUV introduced in 2020, aims to deliver a balance of style, performance, and luxury at an approachable price. Its turbocharged engine and dynamic driving experience set it apart from competitors like the Chevrolet Trax and Nissan Kicks. Although it boasts a premium interior, there are trade-offs in passenger and cargo space. With rising average car prices, the CX-30 appeals to consumers seeking affordable SUVs with luxury attributes, serving as a compelling alternative to high-end brands such as BMW and Audi.
With the price of the average new car approaching $50,000, consumers want small, affordable SUVs, and car makers have answered their call.
I was impressed by the CX-30's turbocharged engine, fun driving dynamics, and premium interior.
Unlike most in the segment, the CX-30's higher-end variants have a powerful, turbocharged engine, making it a viable alternative to luxury models from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi.
I was impressed by its attractive styling, spirited performance, and upscale presentation.
