Starting off the trim lineup for the 2023 Mazda CX-30 is the 2.5 S trim, and we will begin by talking about what's under the hood! When you lift the hood, you will be greeted by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that kicks out 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, which connects to a smooth-sailing six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel-drive. As for features, the 2.5 S comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and an 8.8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an eight-speaker audio system. For safety, all versions of the 2.5 S come standard with forward collision mitigation, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and a drowsy driver monitor, which will keep you and your loved ones safe no matter where you travel. This is undoubtedly quite a haul, especially for a base-level trim.

If you want more comfort and convenience features, then we highly suggest the Select trim, which comes with all the features of the 2.5 S along with 18-inch wheels, keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, simulated leather upholstery, tinted rear windows, and a center armrest for rear passengers. The safety features also come with a boost, as you get a standard blind-spot warning that will alert you if the vehicle in the lane next door is in your blind spot. There is a lot to love about the Select trim!

The Preferred trim is similar to the Select trim as it comes with all of the features of that trim and adds a few new ones that drivers and passengers are sure to love. It's with this trim you will find a sunroof, a power-adjustable driver seat, memory functions that cater to you, and heated front seats that are perfect for the wintertime!

Next, we have the Carbon Edition, which provides you with all of the features of the previous trims and adds a few new ones to the mix that are sure to impress in terms of design and functionality. Standard features include 18-inch black-painted alloy wheels, unique grey paint, red leather seats, and heated side mirrors with black caps. The Mazda CX-30 had never looked as good as it does with the Carbon Edition!

The highest level trim you can get with the CX-30 that you can get with the standard engine is the Premium trim! It more than lives up to its name with advanced features such as adaptive headlights that will swivel as you turn the wheel for better illumination in curves. Other features include a power liftgate, roof rails, paddle shifters, leather upholstery, a navigation system, satellite radio, a traffic sign reader, and a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system. You also get a standard head-up display which will give you essential information in your sight line on the windshield.

The turbo trims of the CX-30 are called turbo for a reason! They all come with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine which delivers an outstanding 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque or 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque with 93 octane fuel. If you go with the 2.5 Turbo Premium, you get front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic with automatic braking, a surround-view camera system, and traffic jam assist, which enhances adaptive cruise control and the lane-keeping assist at speeds under 40 mph.
