No doubt some UK reviews will come later in the day
New CX30
Just a few points :-
1) I wonder if we'll finally get the option of a 2.5 litre petrol engine in Europe?
2) No sign of cup holders - under a sliding arm rest perhaps or coming out of the dashboard in some way? Doesn't worry me one bit mind
3) Still had those rear door openings which are part of the wheel arch - wonder if they've filled in the lip inside the door to stop grit n stuff collecting there?
4) What a weird naming / numbering structure Mazda have used for the CX range. Why didn't they name the current CX-3 as CX-2 (as based on the Mazda 2 base) when it first came out, and the current CX-5 as CX-6 (as based on the Mazda 6 base)? Would have then left a nice gap for CX-3 to be used for this new model (as based on the Mazda 3 base) instead of the weird CX-30 name / number?

I'm straight down to the showroom... Nice
One of those annoying cyclist, who happens to also drive a CX3 SPORT NAV IN ETERNAL BLUE on the odd occasion ... The CX3 has been a pleasure to drive but it's time to move on. ...NOW DRIVING A MAZDA CX30 GT SPORT-JAN 2020

I was out testing the CX-30 (with the Sky-G 122hp and auto transmission) a few days ago.
I found it to be an excellent car.
Well build, premium qulity and a great driving position (test car was with electric seats) and it's very quiet (at least compared to my CX-3).
It's a bit more sluggish with the 122 hp engine but then again it's a bit heavier.
I would go for the Sky-X, even though it's a bit more expensive, but I obviously need to test first, which should be possible in a months time, when they are available.
And it looks better in irl than in pictures

Mazda CX-30 2.0 150HP Aut. Cosmo w. Tech Pack in Arctic White, 2023.
I think this needs the 180hp engine to be a true drivers car and i think the price difference should be about £1500 compared to the lower 122hp engine.
