Verdict
The Mazda CX-30 2.0G High 2WD is the easy step up: the RM2,000 gap buys 18-inch wheels, collision warning, front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control and a 10-way power driver’s seat with memory. Both use the same 162 hp/213 Nm 2.0-litre petrol engine, six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, so there is no performance case for spending more. For a Malaysian buyer, the High’s parking assistance and rear air-con vents make daily use more agreeable for very little extra.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G 2WD Standard if you want the same 162 hp drivetrain and core CX-30 equipment while spending RM2,000 less.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High 2WD if collision warning, parking sensors, rear air-con vents and a memory-equipped power driver’s seat matter to you.
