Okay, so, I was thinking about getting a new car, and I’ve always liked Mazda. They’ve got that whole “zoom-zoom” thing going on, and their cars just look sharp. But I live in the city, and parking is, well, you know… a nightmare. So, I started looking into the smallest Mazda SUV, figuring that would be the best fit for my urban adventures.

First, I started to dig around online, just to get a feel for the Mazda SUV lineup. There are the CX-30, CX-5, CX-50, CX-70, and the big one, the CX-90. There is also a CX-90 PHEV, which is a plug-in hybrid, and the smallest one, CX-3. Apparently, there was also a CX-3, but it looks like they don’t make it anymore.
Then I narrowed it down. The CX-90 and CX-70, those were way too big for what I needed. The CX-50 looked cool, a little more rugged, but still, maybe a bit much. The CX-5, that’s a classic, but I wanted to see if there was something even smaller.
That’s when I really focused on the CX-30. It’s what they call a “subcompact” SUV. I read a bunch of reviews, looked at pictures, and even watched some videos of people driving it. It seemed like it had enough space inside, but it was still small enough to zip around the city and squeeze into those tight parking spots.
I even found some interesting information about the size difference. The CX-30 is actually smaller than the CX-5, which makes sense since it’s labeled as a subcompact. But get this – even though it’s smaller, it still has a good amount of legroom. I mean, 41.7 inches in the front? That’s plenty!
- Decided to get a new car.
- Started looking into the smallest Mazda SUV.
- Researched the Mazda SUV lineup online (CX-3, CX-30, CX-5, CX-50, CX-70, CX-90).
- Eliminated the larger models (CX-70, CX-90).
- Focused on the CX-30 (subcompact SUV).
- Read reviews, looked at pictures, and watched videos of the CX-30.
- Compared the size of the CX-30 to the CX-5.
In the end, I realized the Mazda CX-30 seemed like the perfect fit for me. Small enough for city life, but still stylish and fun to drive, just like a Mazda should be. Next step is taking one for a test drive, wish me luck with that parking challenge!
