I really wish there was a white exterior option like there is for the CX-5 Carbon Turbo because I'm really not a fan of that sand color. Even better would've been if there was a Polymetal Grey and red interior plus turbo option. I also wonder when Mazda is going to finally make a CX-30 hybrid. They're so late to the game.
I own this exact model. Studies have shown the touch screen is more distracting and Mazda opted for safety over driver's preferences in this instance. And, it is touch screen for the Android Auto / Apple Car Play modes if you want to use it (not for modes outside of that). Unless you've spent time with the rotary knob; you don't realize how genius the design actually is. I used to be against the rotary knob as well. I wouldn't be too quick to knock until you try it. I have come to prefer it actually. Its safer and keeps my eyes on the road. Also, no fingerprints to constantly clean off the screen!
@@slukanen Honda, Toyota, NISSAN all use touchscreen your nonsense about distracting a driver is pointless. The rotary knob is OUTDATED. I assume you still use a flip phone with no touchscreen?
@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 I guess comes down to personal preference. Mazda is having a great year selling tons of vehicles, if people hated it they wouldn't buy a Mazda. To each their own. I enjoy using touchscreen on my cell phone.
Which color is better, zircon sand or platinum quartz?
Zircon is more of a rugged look.. Platinum Quartz is very classy

Leatharette seats, not leather.
I wold by on in a second if it wasn't for the ugly cladding. Still might.
The mpg is terrible
That Rotary knob infotainment system in the CX 30 is lame in 2024, just imagine using a cellphone without a touchscreen. Quick pass folks.........
the 2024 trims have touch screen functionality...
