On the hunt for a nimble, upscale small SUV? The athletic and refined 2024 Mazda CX-30 neatly splits the difference between a sporty crossover and a practical runabout. Sharing its DNA with the beloved Mazda3 hatchback, the latest CX-30 remains one of the most engaging ways to navigate Las Cruces streets and highways. Let's explore why drivers looking for driving joy should have the CX-30 on their shopping list.

What’s New for 2024 on the Mazda CX-30?

Mazda adds two new variants to the 2024 CX-30 lineup. The Carbon Turbo model comes exclusively with the turbo engine and cool visual enhancements. Meanwhile, the new Select Sport trim gains styling tweaks and upgraded features over the outgoing Select trim. Elsewhere in the lineup, higher Turbo models now offer a larger 10.3-inch infotainment display. The CX-30 carries over with athletic handling and refined appointments that defy its compact size.

2024 Mazda CX-30 Sport Power & Performance

The 2024 CX-30 puts power to the pavement via your choice of two proven engines:

- 2.5L 4-cylinder with 191 horsepower, paired with a quick-shifting 6-speed automatic

- Optional turbo 2.5L 4-cylinder generating 250 horsepower, connected to the same automatic

That muscular turbo engine provides a thrill when jumping onto Lohman Avenue or passing slower traffic on US-70 eastbound. The standard 2.5L engine pulls strongly off the line but lacks top-end punch for highway maneuvers. Either powertrain returns nimble handling with precise steering feel - a Mazda hallmark. Standard all-wheel drive enhances traction across varying road surfaces.

In EPA testing, fuel economy reaches 25 mpg city/33 highway for the base engine. The turbo model achieves 23/30 mpg, great for a road trip to Silver City or just to swing by Sprouts Farmers Market.

2024 Mazda CX-30 Interior & Technology

The CX-30 provides a properly upscale interior environment unusual for its compact size. Even base models come well equipped with an 8.8-inch color display, Bluetooth/USB connections, and crisp-sounding audio. Moving up the range nets amenities like a sunroof, leather seats, a more powerful Bose sound system, and an expansive head-up display.

Rear seats are comfortably contoured and offer adequate legroom for adults. The rear cargo area swallows four large suitcases - ample room for downtown shopping trips or taking friends out to dinner in Mesilla. Clever cubbies and bins throughout the cabin make everyday driving duties a breeze.

2024 Mazda CX-30 Safety

The latest CX-30 inherits Mazda’s sophisticated i-Activsense safety technology including lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. These systems help give you an extra set of eyes on E Lohman or any other busy Las Cruces street. Newly standard traffic jam assist provides added assistance in highway crawling traffic.

With family adventures in mind, the CX-30 aims to provide comprehensive protection through advanced impact safety design and avoidance technologies. Test drive one today at Casa Mazda Las Cruces.
