IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazda North American Operations today announces packaging updates for the 2026 Mazda CX-30. Blending sophisticated styling inside and out, capable powertrains with standard i-Activ AWD, and a robust suite of standard and available safety and driver assistance technology, CX-30 continues to deliver impressive value with the uniquely Mazda driving experience.

CX-30 2.5 S
The standard CX-30 2.5 S features Mazda's Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter, four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. This efficient powertrain delivers 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque with any fuel grade and is paired with a quick-shifting six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and sport mode.

New for 2026, CX-30 adopts a brake Limited Slip Differential (LSD) to help improve traction and stability as well as updated dampers to help improve ride comfort. All CX-30 models are equipped with the latest i-Activ AWD which continuously monitors weight distribution and shifts power to the appropriate wheels, providing drivers with a near instant response to inputs. In addition, all CX-30 models are equipped with G-Vectoring Control Plus and Off-Road Traction Assist as standard.

Standard i-Activsense safety features include Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Smart Brake Support, High Beam Control, and Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Rear Seat Alert, Vehicle Exit, Warning, Driver Attention Alert, and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Mazda Connected Services is complimentary for one year, which provides the owner with the ability to monitor and control the state of the CX-30 remotely by logging into the MyMazda app and includes in-car Wi-Fi hotspot for three-months or 2GB trial, whichever comes first.

The well-appointed interior features seating for five, and a robust list of standard equipment. This includes a Mazda Connect infotainment system with an 8.8-inch display that can be controlled with the multi-function commander knob and is integrated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other amenities include an eight-speaker sound system with Mazda Harmonic Acoustics speakers, dual USB-C inputs, seven-inch LCD multi-information gauge display, push button start, remote keyless illuminated entry system, black cloth seats, climate control, electronic parking brake, speed sensitive automatic power doors locks, and power windows with one-touch automatic up/down.

The stylish exterior of the CX-30 includes LED automatic on/off LED headlights, LED taillights, and daytime running lights, black rear roof spoiler, gray metallic 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels and matte finish front grille.

CX-30 2.5 S SELECT SPORT
CX-30 2.5 S Select Sport builds off the CX-30 2.5 S model, this trim brings unique stylistic touches that include an available, exclusive Ceramic Metallic paint, 18-inch alloy wheels with a black metallic finish and heated black door mirrors, which newly adds memory positioning and tilt when in reverse to help enhance visibility when parking.

New for 2026, this trim now includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, eight-way power adjustable driver's seat with two-position memory and heated driver and passenger seats. Other notable upgrades include Alexa Built-in integration, leatherette seats in black or newly available in Greige, leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel, Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear air condition vents, rear armrest with cup holders, illuminated vanity mirror, and rear privacy glass.

CX-30 2.5 S PREFERRED
The CX-30 2.5 S Preferred now includes 10.25-inch large center display with touchscreen functionality for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, while adding a power-sliding glass moonroof, silver roof rails, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and leatherette seats. Other features include 18-inch wheels in a silver metallic finish, body-colored door mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, overhead console with sunglass holder, and Smart Brake Support-Rear and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking.

CX-30 2.5 S AIRE EDITION
The all-new 2026 CX-30 2.5 S Aire Edition carries over all features and conveniences from the Preferred package, but with fresh take on style and comfort. Similar to select 2026 CX-50 models, this edition will feature gloss black badges, including the Mazda logo and CX-30 name. Along with 18-inch black metallic aluminum alloy wheels with black roof rails and side mirrors, the Aire Edition has an active, yet modern vibe. The unique interior features light colors to help create a feeling of spaciousness, most notably with the white leatherette seats and gray cloth inserts. The interior feels modern with quality materials such as gray suede-like interior trims and light gray stitching throughout.

CX-30 2.5 S CARBON EDITION
The 2026 CX-30 2.5 S Carbon Edition is offered in Polymetal Gray exterior paint, which is exclusive for the naturally aspirated models, and complemented with red leather seats and interior. Accenting the unique color scheme are black 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels and gloss black heated door mirrors. Carbon Edition models include all features found in the CX-30 2.5 S Preferred package, along with a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system, HD Radio, and a frameless auto-dimming inner mirror with Homelink.

CX-30 2.5 S PREMIUM 
The CX-30 2.5 S Premium package includes the features found in Carbon Edition, plus many notable updates. For 2026, this trim now includes a heated steering wheel and a 360° View Monitor. Safety is enhanced with Active Driving Display with available Traffic Sign Recognition and an Adaptive Front-lighting System. Other features include black or white leather seats, a power liftgate, silver metallic 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and LED signature illumination headlights and taillights.

CX-30 2.5 TURBO AIRE EDITION
The all-new 2026 CX-30 2.5 Turbo Aire Edition takes the unique and light styling from the naturally aspirated Aire Edition and combines it with turbocharged performance. CX-30 2.5 Turbo models boost the dynamic driving experience thanks to more horsepower and torque - max torque is available between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm for excellent off-the-line throttle response. The Skyactiv-G 2.5 Turbo four-cylinder engine produces 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque on premium 93 octane fuel, while on regular 87 octane fuel it produces 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.

The Turbo Aire Edition shares the same modern styling as its naturally aspirated counterpart with black exterior badges and details and light interior scheme, except the white leatherette seats will feature gray suede-like inserts that'll match the interior trim and gray stitching.

CX-30 2.5 TURBO PREMIUM PLUS
The CX-30 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus completes the exceptional packaging with the addition of many convenience features. Like the new Aire Editions, this turbo package features gloss black exterior badges, which will complement the black exterior trims already on turbo models. Paddle shifters are also equipped on the steering wheel helping further the connected feeling with the driver. This top-level trim includes SiriusXM satellite radio with three-month complimentary trial, an auto-dim driver's door mirror, and Cruising and Traffic Support. This level two driver assistance technology helps reduce driver fatigue and allows CX-30 to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle in front of it without the driver having to use the accelerator or brake pedal. This system also has a steering assist function where, when the lane lines are detected, assists the driver in keeping the vehicle within its lane.
