The CX-30 is the second model in a new generation of Mazda cars that offers refined quality in every area. The CX-30 is a new compact crossover SUV that combines the bold proportions of an SUV with elegant styling that embodies Mazda’s Evolved Kodo design language. The Mazda CX-30, sits between the CX-3 and CX-5 on the sizing scale and is designed to be an essential partner in the customer’s daily life in mind.
The increased height over a passenger car provides excellent visibility and makes getting in and out a breeze while the body size makes it easy to manoeuvre on any road and in any parking lot.
Basic performance attributes such as accelerating, turning and braking have been dramatically enhanced with Mazda’s Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture which enables people to make the most of their natural sense of balance.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
Since its introduction in 2010, Mazda’s Kodo – Soul of Motion design has been a driving force in enhancing the brand’s global value, and Mazda has now made this philosophy deeper and more sophisticated to raise car design to the level of fine art. The goal for this evolution of Kodo design is to express a new form of elegance inspired by and rooted in Japanese aesthetics.
As the second model in Mazda’s new-generation product line-up to feature the further-matured Kodo – Soul of Motion design concept, the CX-30 was developed in pursuit of automotive styling as a work of art. To achieve the most alluring, sleek, silhouette in this market segment, the designers and engineers worked together as a single team to realize an unprecedented vehicle that uncompromisingly satisfies the generally contradictory demands for roominess, ample cargo space, and truly beautiful proportions.
Based on the ‘Sleek and Bold’ design concept, the CX-30 proportions combine the toughness of an SUV with a supple, flowing beauty that transcends the category and the body surfaces provide rich, unlimited impressions that change from moment to moment.
The Mazda CX-30 body design is based on the concept of “Charge and Release” – design language taken from the brushwork used in Japanese calligraphy. This concept has its roots in the three key elements of the evolved Kodo – Soul of Motion design philosophy, namely, Yohaku, the beauty of empty space, Soru, curves with poise and balance, and Utsuroi, the interplay of light and shadow. The overall design portrays the releasing and diffusing of energy built-up from the nose and the front fenders though to the rear tires in a single motion to convey a sense of strong forward motion.
Other exterior refinements include:
The lower body features arresting black cladding to create the sleekly flowing proportions of a coupe. At the same time, the cladding provides an impression of stability and power worthy of an SUV.
Rear fenders stand proud from the inward-tapering rear cabin and the liftgate has a correspondingly narrowed arch shape. In combination, this creates an alluring and sensuously powerful rear end with a wide, dynamic stance like a sports car.
Front styling conveys a refined, yet bold personality. Mazda’s signature wing takes on a sharper and deeper form that combines with the solid, sculpted contours of the front bumpers to achieve a face strongly suggestive of forward motion. The size and pattern of the radiator grille’s triangular motif are tightly controlled to show rich variations according to the viewing angle and how light falls upon it.
Headlamps and rear combination lamps are both elegantly sleek and supremely functional, featuring an LED arrangement that emphasizes the lamps’ elaborate cylindrical shape to point up their artistic beauty while delivering a distinctive mechanical impression. The LED turn signals have a new, distinctive light-up pattern that starts at full power then gradually ramps down, giving a powerful impression of a pulsating, living creature.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Inside, Mazda rigorously pursued the highest quality so that customers can spend time with their loved ones in comfort. The highly refined cabin is marked by the fusion of a comfortably snug feel and an airy, spacious atmosphere, enabling all occupants to enjoy a feeling of connection as well as relaxing comfort. The quiet cabin makes conversation a joy and the clarity and quality of the new audio system, with its optimized speaker layout, are reminiscent of a sound studio.
In addition, the cabin interior was designed to advance the Jinba-Ittai philosophy that is at the heart of every Mazda car and deliver every occupant a heightened sense of oneness with the CX-30. It is a pleasing environment, with a symmetrical cockpit layout firmly centered on the driver and a large dashboard hood on the passenger seat side that gently wraps the occupant in comfort. In addition, a rich variety of colour coordination choices and level of finish that shows dedication to craftmanship accentuates the quality feel of the interior. Every aspect of the interior design enhances the CX-30’s impressive personality, stimulating customers’ sensibilities each and every time they look at or touch the car.
INNOVATIVE PACKAGING, DELIVERS RICHER, MORE ENJOYABLE LIFE EXPERIENCES
Based on human-centered philosophy, Mazda aimed to endow the CX-30 with enhanced versatility as a compact crossover SUV. The packaging achieves a cabin that accommodates all passengers in relaxed comfort even on the longest drives, while the luggage space offers enhanced practicality and generous capacity to satisfy virtually all lifestyle requirements. The driver’s environment is further evolved though the adoption of the most advanced knowledge and technologies during research and development of the driving position and Human-Machine Interface (HMI). In short, every element of the packaging is designed and engineered to support an even wider range of lifestyles and provide CX-30 customers with a rich and rewarding experience.
LUGGAGE SPACE
A generous luggage compartment with a large opening is easy to use in any situation.
Luggage capacity is a generous 430 litres*, enough to simultaneously accommodate a large, global-standard baby carriage and a carry-on bag. The liftgate opening is 1,020mm wide, while the height of the flip is a relatively low 731mm, making it easier to load and unload heavy or bulky cargo.
*Includes sub-trunk; measure in-house by Mazda.
DRIVING POSITION
Telescopic steering offers 70mm or travel for precise control over the driving position. In addition, front seat cushion tilt adjustment is included as standard equipment to help prevent the occupant’s thighs floating above the cushion (seat angle too low) or placing undue pressure on the thighs (seat angle too high). As such, it offers firm support that keeps the pelvis in an upright position to maintain the ideal posture Mazda aims for.
The position of the gear shift lever, commander control and cupholders on the floor console is optimized for operating stability, ease and comfort.
VISIBILITY AND FIELD OF VIEW
The driver’s seating position is set high to provide a clear field of view and let the driver focus on the road ahead.
Thickness and shape of the A-Pillar were optimized to minimize its obstruction angle and associated blind spots. Every detail of the pillar shape was carefully thought out after research into what degree of neck and eye movement would not burden the driver. As a result, the design significantly reduces blind spots ahead of the car, providing the driver with a continuous view of pedestrians or potential obstacles to the right or left while maintaining a natural driving posture.
The C-Pillar is small, providing good rearward visibility through the quarter window, offering easy confirmation of other vehicles or objects to the rear when changing lanes or entering a parking lot.
AUDIO SYSTEM
Mazda carried out comprehensive new studies into how sounds are transmitted through a car’s cabin. This led to relocating the bass speakers in the corners where low frequency sound is better reproduced, resulting in a more clearly audible lower register. Midrange and high-frequency speakers were positioned on the left and right sail garnish and upper sections of the door trim where the sound is transmitted directly towards the occupant’s ears, unmuddied by reflected sounds. This more powerfully and naturally located the sound’s origin, enhancing both depth and clarity.
The standard audio system features a 3-way, 8-speaker configuration with 3L woofers mounted at the sides of the cowl, 2.5cm tweeters on the left and right sail garnishes and 8cm squawkers on the upper section of the front and rear door trim.
POWERTRAIN
The latest Skyactiv-G 2.0 gasoline engine delivers enhanced driving performance, fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness.
The Skyactiv-D 1.8 diesel engine provides smooth yet robust performance combined with a fine balance of fuel economy, quietness and low emissions.
NEW-GENERATION STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES: SKYACTIV-VEHICLE ARCHITECTURE
The seats adopt a basic structure designed to maintain the natural S-shaped curve of the spine. The seat cushion and lower seatback support the thighs, lower pelvis and upper pelvis to keep the pelvis in an upright position. Meanwhile, the upper seatback supports the rib cage’s center of gravity. This design enables the driver to stabilize his or her head in a natural fashion by shifting the pelvis and spine to maintain balance without any conscious effort.
The body further evolves Mazda’s straight framework and continuous ring structure concept. New front-to-back connections complement the existing vertical and lateral connections of the previous body to form multi-directional ring structures. This increases rigidity while reducing lag in the transmission of energy, which helps maximize the function of the dampers and tires. By concentrating energy input from the road surface in specifically chosen locations and adopting a damping structure that helps absorb it, vibration that causes noise is reduced without increasing vehicle weight.
The suspension system (MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam setup at the rear) is based on the concept of smoothing the transmission of forces to the sprung mass over time. A new spherical shape adopted for the internal structure of the bushings combines with new suspension geometry to realize lag-free transmission and linear action.
EXECELLENT NVH PERFORMANCE:
As a result of Mazda’s human research studies, development focused on three characteristics of sound that directly impact cabin occupants. These are volume, changes in pitch and tone over time, and the direction from which sounds originate. Suppressing noise generation and reducing its volume, while also controlling the fluctuations and directionality of sounds, are all aimed at going beyond a ‘quiet’ cabin environment to instead create a ‘high-quality quietness’ that is satisfying to all cabin occupants.
To improve the basic insulation qualities key to reducing NVH, CX-30 adopts a “two-wall” structure with space between the body and the carpeting. Considering the carpet and the body panel as two separate walls, and then designing them to match the characteristics of the carpet fibers improves sound insulation without increasing weight. The number of holes in the carpeting was reduced wherever possible to significantly enhance sound insulation.
Measures to deal with road noise focused on minimizing noise and vibration, and on controlling noise generated by changes in the road surface so it reaches occupants’ ears in a linear fashion. Sound-absorption added to the headliner and floor mats effectively suppresses high-frequency noise, while tires with optimized vertical yield and increased rigidity at possible entry points help prevent the transmission of unwanted vibrations to the cabin. Lag-free transmission of permissible sounds and vibrations helps create a reassuring and comfortable cabin environment.
OUTSTANDING SAFETY PERFORMANCE
The Mazda Proactive Safety philosophy guides all the company’s research and development efforts in safety performance, driving advances in every area from safety fundamentals, such as the driving position, through passive safety technologies to advanced i-Activsense features. The CX-30 is equipped with numerous safety technologies born from these research endeavors.
Standard safety technologies in the Mazda CX-30 includes 7 SRS Airbags (Front Driver & Passenger, Driver Knee, Side and Curtain), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Traction Control System (TCS), Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), and Hill Launch Assist (HLA) to deliver peace of mind that allows everyone on board to relax and enjoy the ride and high quality driving pleasure that keeps drivers endlessly engaged behind the wheel. The CX-30 introduces a knee airbag for the driver’s seat as standard equipment worldwide. By suppressing forward motion of the driver’s body in the event of a collision, this new airbag helps lessen injuries to the driver’s legs.
In the area of active safety, CX-30’s i-Activsense, is available on the CX-30 High variants, while further evolved technologies to help prevent accidents through advanced brake control enhance the omnidirectional sensing capability Mazda is pursuing. Other i-ACTIVSENSE advanced safety features includes; Driver Attention Alert (DAA), Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS), High Beam Control (HBC), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) with Lane-Keep Assist System (LAS), Front & Rear Smart Brake Support (SBS) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC).
In terms of passive safety, the vehicle body includes more high-strength steel than ever before. As with the all-new Mazda3, 1,310 MPa-class steel is used in places and steel rated 980 MPa or higher now accounts for approximately 30 percent of the body. This combines with the addition of a new perimeter beam, newly designed B-pillars that deliver both high strength and light weight, and rear side frames that deform in an accordion-style pattern to create a strong body that can withstand impact force and a frame structure that effectively absorbs energy.
In addition, the hood adopts a new energy-absorbing inner structure designed to receive the impact of a pedestrian’s head in the initial moment of contact and then gradually dampen the force to more stably absorb the impact energy. The front bumper is designed to support the thigh and shins if contact is made with a pedestrian’s legs while softening the blow to the knee area. This reduces the degree of injury to the knees and ligaments due to bending and twisting.
The MAZDA CX-30 is currently CBU from Japan. The colour line-up includes Soul Red Crystal, Machine Gray, Jet Black, Deep Crystal Blue, Sonic Silver, Snowflake White Pearl, Titanium Flash and Polymetal Gray Metallic; making a total of 8 colours available.
