When deciding between the Mazda CX-30 and CX-50, you're essentially choosing between two similarly equipped small SUVs from Mazda, both boasting the same engines, interiors, and option packages. The main distinctions are the CX-50's slightly larger size and higher price point compared to the CX-30. Both models feature luxury-grade amenities at competitive prices and maintain the commendable driving dynamics typical of Mazda vehicles. The CX-30, introduced in 2020, is the more compact option, while the CX-50, launched in 2023, offers a bit more space. Despite the size difference, their price points are closer than one might expect. Mazda's lineup also includes the CX-70 and CX-90, as well as the Mazda3 and Mazda CX-5, with the CX-30 being the smallest SUV and the CX-50 a step up in size.

Sorry i STRONGLY disagree. After years of using distracting touch screens, many often slow or balky, using the mazda set up is refreshing. No balkiness NO road distraction which is far more important . Try some patience and practice and you will be fine with it. And , no surprise the 50 handles flatter and is more planted than the 30...it is wider and heavier with wider tires.

100% agree, touchscreen is distracting and not as safe. I have an A4 and I'll take the MMI dial over a touchscreen anytime , I never have to take my eyes of the road and my hand is always closer to the wheel. This system looks very similar to the Audi system.

I had a CX-30 and traded it for a CX-50. Both Non-Turbos. The CX-30 is more sportier and faster when driving especially in corners. We need more space for our car so we looked at the CX-50. More space and more controlled and feels more planted when driving.

Have a 2021 CX-30 premium in red, absolutely love the car. So far my only minor gripe are the piano black pillars, they show swirls and scratches in direct sunlight. Again very minor gripe. On long road trips is where it really shines for me. The radar cruise control with the HUD is awesome. You don’t have to take your eyes off the road to see speed and blind spot. The adaptive cruise control works wonders and saves me from an accident when someone cut in front of me when I was reaching for my coffee on the freeway. It auto-braked before I had time to react. Also personally I love the infotainment systems simplicity. Again you don’t really need to take your eyes off the road to navigate once you get used to it. I’m a gamer so maybe it’s easier for me lol Also, the cladding doesn’t look bad in person and in northern Wisconsin it should help prevent rust and chips from rock salt and gravel. Overall I love the car. Got it used like new for $22,000 with 27k miles, not bad imo

I narrowed this down with these 2 vehicles and after seeing this review I FINALLY seen the light.. Being 56 (acting like 20) I like power and some room in the back in case I buy a new TV or something? I prefer a higher road clearance from snow...I chose the CX-50 WITH TURBO. I wanted to get a truck but the trucks nowadays are not what they use to be and don't like 4 cylinders in a truck with 20 turbos in it. Yes I'm exaggeratting...It's Ridiculous though. Great review...Thanks for your help.

Car reviewer blues: too much churn in vehicles to take pause and understand the nuances of individual brands. I for one seek marques with control dials over touch screens, ie: much more efficient to use and avoids design limitations of jamming a screen out front and centre of the panel.

Great review. I own the 2024 Mazda CX-50 TPP (same color, but with the terracotta interior). This is my fourth Mazda and by far the best. The center screen is excellent, but took some time to get used to. Once it was mastered, I liked it more. A couple of minor gripes I have with mine: 1) iStop (start and stop) button has to be pushed every time if you want the car to keep the engine running during a stop 2) the 12v power outlet turns off when the car is off 3) the stock 20" wheels are fugly. I changed out the stock wheels with 18" custom offset all-black ones with Michelin Defender 18" tires. Road noise increased slightly, but the ride quality improved. The stock 20" Goodyears are alright, but not really an all-season multi-terrain type of tire. 4) the pano glass roof only goes back, like, 6"...which is weird. Lastly, the "surprising" really great stuff: 1) the heated seats get stoopid hot -- love that 2) the 360 camera system is top notch 3) the 320 ft lbs of torque is "all there". Stomp on it on the freeway and the next thing you know, you're doing 95+ with lots of steam left. 4) the Bose audio system with subwoofer is out of this world excellent...it is audiophile quality. I got mine for $43.3K and I "still" think it was a steal-deal. Hope this helps others...I am 55 and now get Mustang's pulling up to me that want to "play". Hahaaa!

@jbm0866 15 күн бұрын

You did exactly the right thing stepping down to 18" wheels. In my opinion 20" wheels and low profile tires would be iffy even for a relatively maintained dirt road leading to a campsite much less an actual off road trail.

@ChrisDIYerOklahoma 15 күн бұрын

@@jbm0866 Agree. I went with Michelin Defender M/S 255-55 R18. Slightly taller/wider vs the stock 20". The wheels have about 5/8" offset (poke out a little more). So, it sits more aggressively and looks/feels more capable. The ride is cream, but some road noise at highway speed. Mazda didn't do very much interior sound isolation...might add some.

@jbm0866 14 күн бұрын

@@ChrisDIYerOklahoma 55 series tires seem far more appropriate for going off-road vs whatever was originally on the 20" wheel. (40?) I find the sound deadning on my turbo 3 to be more than adequate. Not exactly luxury car quiet, but probably the quiestest car I've ever owned all things considered. At most I hear a bit of tire roar over certain types of pavement, but in most cases the noise level is very low. If noise really bothers you then you could add some aftermarket sound deadening in strategic locations. If you dont feel like doing it yourself you could buy the material and take it to a shop (like stereo shop) that is familiar with sound deadening...they may even know the best spots to apply such things.

@jbm0866 15 күн бұрын

Love the way the CX-50 looks inside and out, I can't think of anything else in the same size class that looks as good. Having said that, 20" wheels and low (ish) profile tires have no business being off-road, not even a mildly rutted dirt road leading to a campsite. So in the spec shown here the CX-50 is the ultimate sub compact poser mobile, but at least it's very good on road with plenty of power, sorted suspension and quick steering. But once again, are any of those things really useful on a mountain trail? Both of these cars are for all weather road use and not much more than that.

While I LOVE the Soul Red color and ride of the CX-30, the paint chips VERY easily and the Infotainment center is FAR too complicated to use, especially while driving.

@jbm0866 15 күн бұрын

I have a 2021 Mazda 3 turbo hatch and agree about the paint. It's a good quality paint job, but far too thin. Needs a couple extra coats from the factory. As for the infotainment, it took me a couple weeks but now I'm used to it and can do most everything I need (while driving) without looking at what my fingers are doing. You will get there eventually...the favorites button is your friend.😉
