Used 2023 Mazda CX-30 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Mazda CX-30 is an extra-small SUV with seating for five. It's available in 2.5 S, Select, Preferred, Carbon Edition, Premium, 2.5 Turbo Premium and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus trim levels. Feature highlights include:

2.5 S
The CX-30 in base 2.5 S comes respectably equipped with:

  • 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (191 horsepower, 186 lb-ft of torque)
  • Six-speed automatic transmission
  • All-wheel drive
  • 16-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • 8.8-inch infotainment display
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration
  • Eight-speaker audio system

Every CX-30 also comes with:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Drowsy driver monitor (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Automatic high beams

Select
Adds comfort and convenience by way of:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Keyless entry
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Center armrest for rear passengers
  • Tinted rear windows
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

Preferred
Similar to the Select but with:

  • Sunroof
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat with memory functions
  • Heated front seats

Carbon Edition
The Carbon Edition includes all of the Preferred trim's features and then adds or replaces:

  • 18-inch black-painted alloy wheels
  • Special gray paint
  • Heated side mirrors with black caps
  • Red leather seats

Premium
The Premium trim is the nicest CX-30 you can get with the standard engine. It has the Preferred trim's features as well as:

  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Power liftgate
  • Roof rails
  • Paddle shifters
  • Leather upholstery
  • Navigation system
  • 12-speaker Bose premium audio system (limited availability due to supply issues)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Traffic sign reader

2.5 Turbo Premium
This trim bundles the turbocharged powertrain with the features of the Premium trim along with:

  • Turbocharged 2.5-liter engine (227 hp and 310 lb-ft, 250 hp and 320 lb-ft with 93 octane fuel)
  • 12-speaker Bose sound system
  • Heated steering wheel

2.5 Turbo Premium Plus
The Premium Plus trim is only offered with the turbocharged engine and tops off the features list with:

  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Rear cross-traffic with automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Traffic Jam Assist (enhanced adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance at speeds under 40 mph)

Which CX-30 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the Select trim. It keeps the price in check and includes all of the features from the base trim and adds upgrades such as simulated leather upholstery, keyless entry and blind-spot warning. If you want the turbocharged engine, you'll have to pay significantly more, but the extra power will be worth it for some.
