Mazda’s upward push into the premium market continues to impact new-car prices, including the 2024 Mazda CX-30 subcompact crossover. For the new model year, the CX-30’s base price goes up by $2045 to $26,370, and other trim levels are up by between $500 and $1850. The new Carbon Turbo model (pictured at top), which has a brown-on-brown color scheme, starts at $34,165.
There’s a bit of new standard equipment offered in the base CX-30 2.5 S model to offset the price hike, including blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. The CX-30 comes standard with a 191-hp 2.5-liter inline-four, a six-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive.
The 2024 CX-30’s trim-level structure is a bit different than before, as the Select is renamed the Select Sport and now starts at $27,875. The Carbon Turbo, finished in Zircon Sand exterior paint and featuring Terra Cotta leather accents inside, is also new to the lineup and is now the cheapest way to get the more powerful turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four with 250 horsepower. The Select, Preferred, Carbon Edition, and Premium models continue on with the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter, while the Turbo Premium and Turbo Premium Plus models start at $36,960 and $38,625, respectively—pushing well into luxury subcompact-crossover territory.
All 2024 Turbo models get a larger, 10.3-inch infotainment screen instead of the 8.8-inch screen on lesser models. They also add a wireless phone charger and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Mazda says the updated CX-30 lineup will go on sale later in the fall.
