Verdict
At RM144,409, the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High+ 2WD already brings 162 hp, 213 Nm, seven airbags and a 360-degree camera. The RM154,409 Premium keeps the same 1,998 cc engine, six-speed automatic and 430-litre boot, but swaps front-wheel drive for all-wheel drive and adds Off-road Traction Assist plus adaptive cruise control with Highway & Traffic Jam Assist. The RM10,000 gap is defensible for buyers who will use AWD or traffic-assist cruise regularly. Otherwise, the 2WD is the sharper buy, especially as it retains the 360-degree camera.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High+ 2WD if you want the lower outlay and value its 360-degree camera more than all-wheel drive.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High+ Premium if all-wheel drive, Off-road Traction Assist and Highway & Traffic Jam Assist justify an extra RM10,000.
