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

The new Hyundai Elantra offers an alternative option if you’re shopping for a C-segment saloon. Being a CBU import from Korea, it is a bit tougher for the Elantra to compete with the CKD Honda Civic. A CBU rival of the Hyundai Elantra would be the Japan-made Mazda 3 Sedan 1.5. The Hyundai Elantra is now open for booking, but prices are yet to be announced. We expect the price to be around the price of the Mazda 3 sedan 1.5, which is around RM 137,660. One Korean and the other Japanese, we figure

As you know, the Mazda 3 comes in two body types, a sedan and a hatchback (which distributor Bermaz Auto prefers to call it a Liftback). Nameplates aside, the Mazda 3 family actually includes an SUV (or if you insist, crossover). The Mazda CX-30 is essentially a jacked up, shorter wheelbase version of the Mazda 3. Distance between the wheels is 70 mm shorter, with a 40 mm taller ground clearance. The shorter wheelbase also means that the CX-30 has less legroom in the rear than in the Mazda 3, it

Mazda CX-30 Nama Mazda CX-30 terasa sedikit janggal, kerana SUV segmen C ini diletakkan diantara CX-3 (segmen B) dan CX-5 (segmen C). Patut ia dipanggil CX-4, betul tak? Namun atas sebab tidak mahu menimbulkan rasa kecelaruan di antara CX-4 yang wujud sebagai model berbeza yang dijual khas di negara China sahaja (berasaskan model CX-5 sebelumnya), Mazda rasa perlu untuk memberi nama yang lain. Mazda CX-30 yang anda lihat di sini adalah antara produk global terbaru Mazda. Dilancarkan pada bulan J

Hakikatnya, kita takkan dapat bandingkan Mazda 3 dengan pesaingnya walau dalam segmen yang sama. Harga Mazda 3 sekurang-kurangnya RM 20,000 lebih mahal daripada Honda Civic atau Toyota Corolla Altis yang tampak lebih kurang sama. Seperti tiada logik dalam pembelian Mazda 3 bagi kebanyakan orang.

Facebook: Zi Xuan Ong It was like 5 years 7 months back since I own my Mazda 3 BM model but it wasn’t my first choice. At the end of 2014, I was thinking to get myself a newer car, as my Hyundai Accent that time was already close to 10 years old. I know I am a pretty OCD person and driving a new car on busy roads in Penang is pretty stressful for me so a whole new

Sometimes it really feels like the more we learn, the less we know. In this case, it’s about the types of suspensions used in a car. At first, we learnt that torsion beam sits at the bottom of the suspension hierarchy. A means to save cost as well as maximizing interior space. In torsion beam setups, both sides of the axle are linked together and when one wheel goes through a bump for example, the other is affected, which disrupts the ride. Although there’s a certain degree of flexibility in the

The Mazda 2 may be an ageing car but it’s definitely one that is catered to enthusiasts. With that being said, after 7 years on the market, the Mazda 2 is definitely due for a new generation that could debut in 2021. As we had reported before, the team over at Best Car Web has produced some interesting renders of what the next-gen Mazda 2 could look like. Judging by the renders, the Mazda 2 could retain the same Kodo design philosophy of the fantastically gorgeous Mazda 3 Hatchback. Even the rea

The oddly named Mazda CX-30 slots between the B-segment CX-3 and the C-segment CX-5. Why is called the CX-30 instead of a more logical CX-4 then? That's because the CX-4 already exists as a totally unrelated China-only model (based on the previous generation CX-5). This 2020 Mazda CX-30 that you see here is Mazda's latest global product. It's a C-segment SUV, similar to the CX-5 but this one sits closer to the smaller Toyota C-HR than the larger CX-5. Just as its little brother the CX-3 is based

In one way or the other, Mazda has established themselves as quite the premium Japanese automaker that’s suited for people making heart-led decisions - case in point being the striking Mazda 3. That said, its crossover stablemate - the Mazda CX-3 - is getting a little long in the tooth now since its introduction in 2015. With Mazda typically refreshing their models every 5-6 years, Japanese media have begun speculating on the next-gen CX-3. The current CX-3 is based on the Mazda 2, and the updat

For months Mazda enthusiasts have been holding their breath in eager anticipation for the Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo. Mazda’s sexiest hatch with its biggest engine sounds enticing by itself. But enthusiasts were more hopeful that it would feature the Mazdaspeed or MPS designation. Alas, that wasn't to be when the 3 2.5 Turbo made its debut in North America. While the new variant followed the recipe of the last "MPS" model – big turbo engine, small hatch – it didn’t wear the renowned name. Not only that,

Mazda CX-3 | Gallery The Mazda CX-3 is essentially a taller riding Mazda 2 with a bigger 2.0-litre engine, as opposed to the little Mazda 2’s 1.5-litre. Inside, the cabin is quite similar to the 2’s, but dressed in more expensive materials. On paper, it sits in the same segment as the Honda HR-V but in reality the Mazda CX-3 is a total opposite of the Honda HR-V, both for better and for worse. New for 2019, the updated Mazda CX-3 has been refreshed with a thicker double-slat chrome grille, new L
