Verdict
The RM10,000 gap buys all-wheel drive, Off-road Traction Assist and adaptive cruise control with Highway & Traffic Jam Assist, while both retain the same 162 hp/213 Nm 2.0-litre petrol engine and 6.4 L/100 km rated economy. That makes the High+ Premium the stronger choice for buyers who specifically want extra traction and more capable traffic-assist cruise control. Yet the High+ 2WD gets the better parking view with its 360-degree camera, against a standard reverse camera in the Premium. For most urban Malaysian use, save the money and take the 2WD.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High+ 2WD if a 360-degree camera matters more to you than all-wheel drive and traffic-jam cruise assistance.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 2.0G High+ Premium if you will use all-wheel drive, Off-road Traction Assist and Highway & Traffic Jam Assist enough to justify RM10,000 extra.
