Performance Ingredients
The 2020 Mazda CX-30 is no sports car. But being a crossover SUV, it surely offers a powerful performance that can rule over all the driving conditions, like off roads, bad weather or rough road surfaces.

This is the standard powertrain which is known for its efficiency and eager revving peaking 6,000-rpm without hesitation.
A Perfect Gearbox
For this credit must go to Mazda’s own 6-speed automatic gearbox, that holds the right number of gears that one can need for a crossover like the 2020 CX-30.
