The 2025 Mazda CX-30 has arrived in Australian dealerships, becoming the brand’s second model equipped with its suite of connected services.
Initially introduced on the MX-5, Mazda Connected Services allow CX-30 owners to control various vehicle features remotely, such as setting geofencing boundaries and locking or unlocking the vehicle from afar. It also includes stolen vehicle tracking capabilities.
However, adding these services has led to a price increase, with nearly every variant now costing $800 more than the 2024 model.
The entry-level CX-30 G20 Pure now starts at $33,940 before on-road costs. It has also been upgraded with USB-C ports, replacing the older USB-A connections.
The CX-30 G20 Evolve is the only variant with a price increase of more than $800, rising by $1000. It now includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad.
All other variants have seen a $800 price increase, and a new mid-range option, the CX-30 Touring LE, has been added.
Featuring blacked-out exterior elements, a terracotta interior, and additional safety technology, the Touring LE is priced at $800 above the Touring variant on which it's based. Mazda claims this new grade offers over $1800 worth of extra equipment.
