How we verify Mazda CX-30 performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mazda CX-30 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Mazda CX-30 performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Mazda CX-30 on record is the 2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus, which runs 0–60 mph in 5.8 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.30 seconds at 97.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Mazda CX-30 is the 2020 Mazda CX-30 Premium, which takes 8.3 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 16.30 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 11 verified runs, a Mazda CX-30 reaches 60 mph in 7.09 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 15.38 seconds at roughly 91.2 mph.
We have verified test data for 4 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.
