Mazda North American Operations is ringing in the New Year with updates to the Mazda CX-30. Designed to inspire creativity with the freedom to go anywhere, the 2022 CX-30 will further those motivations with standard i-Activ all-wheel drive, which enhances the crossover’s performance. Already recognized for blending quality craftsmanship, sleek styling, and natural dynamic driving, the new Carbon Edition model is a great addition to the crossover’s offerings. The naturally aspirated and turbocharged 2022 CX-30 models will begin to arrive in dealerships early next month.
CX-30 2.5 S
New for 2022, CX-30 now comes with the latest i-Activ AWD system as standard, which enhances performance by focusing on improved driving dynamics, handling, and vehicle control that help the driver enjoy the experience on most terrains or in most conditions. Engaging driving dynamics are engineered into every aspect of vehicle development to help create a connection between car and driver. Mazda’s unique i-Activ AWD system continuously monitors weight distribution and shifts power to the appropriate wheels, providing drivers a near instant response to inputs. In addition, all CX-30 models are equipped with G-Vectoring Control Plus and Off-Road Traction Assist as standard.
The standard CX-30 2.5 S features Mazda’s Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter, four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. This efficient powertrain can deliver up to 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque with any fuel grade and is paired with a quick-shifting six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and sport mode. Standard i-Activsense safety features include Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Smart Brake Support, High Beam Control, and Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. Mazda Connected Services is complementary for three years, which provides the owner with the ability to monitor and control the state of the CX-30 remotely by logging into the MyMazda app and includes in-car Wi-Fi hotspot2 for three-months or 2GB trial, whichever comes first.
The well-appointed interior features an 8.8-inch center display with the latest Mazda Connect infotainment system that can be controlled with the multi-function commander knob and is integrated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
