The Mazda CX-30 is Mazda Philippines' newest crossover that aims to fortify its foothold in the popular SUV segment. On the exterior, it shares in the same Kodo design language that Mazda vehicles are known for. Its design is close to that of the CX-5's but with a shorter rear end. Moreover, the CX-30 has a taller ride height compared to the Mazda3 it is based on, while adorned with blacked-out fender accents that further add to its crossover look.
On the inside, the CX-30 shares the Mazda design language as the other models in the lineup. It features a sleek dashboard that extends to the door sidings. The instrument cluster features a three-circle design with a speedometer in the middle flanked by its rev counter on the left and its temperature and fuel gauges on the right. At the center of the dash is the location of the 8.8-inch non-touchscreen infotainment system, similar to what the Mazda3 has. The controls can be found near the gear shifter. Mazda says this was done in order to let the driver focus more on the road.
The Mazda CX-30 also comes with Mazda's I-Activsense suite of safety features that includes radar cruise control and driver monitoring system. It also comes with high beam control, front cross traffic alert, adaptive front lighting system, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane-keep assist.

Mazda launched a new variant of the CX-30 with a mild-hybrid system at the 2022 Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS). The new variant was launched alongside the hybrid Mazda3, a platform-mate of the CX-30 crossover. The hybrids featured more power and torque brought on by an electric motor.

As such, the compact crossover can produce 152 hp and 200 Nm of torque, sending power to the wheels via a 6-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission. The newest powertrain in the lineup for the Philippines is the 2.0-liter mild-hybrid system, which produced 161 hp and 213 Nm of torque, which is 9 hp and 13 Nm more than the standard naturally-aspired gasoline engine. The electric motor also has a battery system that it feeds off and charges either via the wheels or via the engine. According to Mazda's internal testing, the hybrid powertrain boasts a fuel consumption figure of about 17.52 kilometers per liter or about 5.7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. As per our testing, the gasoline-only variants got a combined figure of 6.2 L/100 kilometers.

It carries the latest evolution of the Kodo Soul of Motion design philosophy that features minimal lines and sensuous curves. It's inspired by the brushwork Japanese Calligraphy, which uses "Charge and Release" in executing the overall design.
