Pros & cons

Mazda CX-30

Lively daily performance: 186 hp and 0–100 km/h in 8.5 s
Practical compact-family fit with 430 L trunk and 5 seats
Not aimed at performance driving; 200 km/h top speed won’t thrill enthusiasts
Lacks premium positioning if you want an upscale badge
430 L cargo and 5 seats may be tight versus larger SUVs
8.5 s to 100 km/h is capable, but not class-leading
