Raya weekend in Kuala Lumpur might sound like paradise for those who decided to not join the mass ‘balik kampung’ exodus. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy 4 days of smooth traffic and free tolls, right? Well, the reality is there is still some traffic in the city and those free tolls do not apply on the weekends but then again, when you have something like the Mazda CX-30 on your driveway, a trip around the not-so-traffic-free capital is still pretty enjoyable.

According to JAHFA, and this is translated directly by Google, the 2020 Mazda CX-30 has design coordination that approaches the realm of art. It has exterior design that insists on driving and interior design that you can enjoy with peace of mind. Pardon the Japanese. Meanwhile, the Honda Fit (or Honda Jazz in other markets) won the JAHF

The 2020 Mazda CX-30 will be coming to Malaysia soon as the official distributor, Bermaz Motor is now accepting bookings for their latest Mazda CX-30. Pricing was not in the CX-30’s favour it will be fully imported rather than assembled locally at Mazda Malaysia’s plant.

Mazda has the CX-3 for that. The CX-30 and C-HR could

The Mazda CX-30 made an appearance this year at the Geneva Motor Show and last week, Adrian had a walkaround with it at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. The CX-30 slots in the gap between the CX-3 and CX-5 (CX-4 already taken) and is based on the new Mazda 3, which explains the pretty much identical interior. As seen in the video, interior space is not vast, a common Mazda trait but adequate for most Asian-sized adults. Materials and build quality is top notch. On the outside, the car rides on 18-inch
