The Mazda CX-30 is a compact crossover SUV produced by Mazda. Based on the fourth generation Mazda3, it debuted at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, to slot in between the CX-3 and the CX-5. The CX-30 has a four-wheel drive system on the highest trim level, and lightweight construction to improve performance and economy. It went on sale in Japan on 24 October 2019,[7][6][5] with global units being produced at Mazda's Hiroshima factory and in Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico,[1][2][3] and Asian units made at the AutoAlliance Thailand plant in Rayong.[4]

According to Naohito Saga, the CX-30's program manager, the new model is targeted to drivers who are still single or are married and starting a family in the United States. Mazda chief designer Ryo Yanagisawa said that it will be more acceptable as a family car in Europe and Japan.[5] Saga also noted that Mazda named the vehicle CX-30, to avoid confusion with the China-only CX-4.[8][9][5]

The CX-30 has been available in the UK in December 2019[10] and in North America in January 2020. It was also launched in Malaysia on 15 January 2020,[11] in Indonesia on 28 January 2020[12][13] and in Thailand on 6 March 2020.[14][15]
