The 2026 MAZDA CX-30: A Brand-New Trim Joins the Lineup of This Subcompact Stunner

One look at the 2026 Mazda CX-30 and you’ll know this subcompact SUV is designed and styled for thrills. But that’s not all this model offers. Its high-end cabin is packed with premium amenities, and the terrific i-Activsense® safety suite is standard on every trim. That includes the all-new 2026 Mazda CX-30 Aire Edition, a fresh take on signature Mazda styling that you’ll definitely want to see at The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston.
Power and Performance
Along with an eight-trim lineup to explore at our Evanston, IL, Mazda dealership, you’ll have two engines to consider. Standard on the entry-level and midrange trims is a Skyactiv®-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. “Turbo” trims add a turbocharger to this engine, increasing total output to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque.
All trims equip a six-speed automatic transmission and familiar performance-boosting features such as G-Vectoring Control Plus® and i-Activ AWD®. Plus, this year’s model welcomes a new limited slip differential that further boosts traction, stability, and ride comfort.
Infotainment Features
The 2026 Mazda CX-30 complements its refined powertrain with equally sophisticated infotainment features. This year, even more trims come standard with the upgraded 10.25-inch touchscreen display, which includes wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Starting with the midrange 2026 Mazda CX-30 2.5 S Carbon Edition, HD Radio® and a Bose® 12-speaker premium sound system also come standard.
Safety
Like every new Mazda model, the 2026 Mazda CX-30 is exceptionally safe. This is due in large part to the i-Activsense® suite, which includes advanced driver assistance systems such as Lane-Keeping Assist, Mazda Radar Cruise Control™, and Forward Collision Mitigation, which warns of an impending collision and can apply the brakes automatically. A 360-degree View Monitor and Traffic Sign Recognition are also available.
