Overview
The Mazda CX-30 is a five-seat C-segment SUV, launched in 2020, with a 1,998 cc petrol engine and automatic transmission. It suits buyers after a petrol-powered crossover with 162 hp, choosing between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Prices start from RM122,409.
For 2026, the CX-30 gains an e-Skyactiv G 2.5-litre mild-hybrid engine, improved ADAS and more equipment in Japan. Malaysia’s range remains four 2.0-litre, 162 hp petrol automatic variants, with FWD and AWD choices. Indonesian local assembly starts on July 29, 2026 at EMI’s West Java facility. This is an Indonesian manufacturing development, not a Malaysian specification announcement.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should begin with the RM122,409 2.0G 2WD Standard, as it shares the 1,998 cc, 162 hp petrol automatic drivetrain and five-seat layout with every FWD CX-30. The 2.0G High 2WD costs RM124,409, while the 2.0G High+ 2WD is RM144,409; check their equipment lists before paying more, because no mechanical gain is stated. The RM154,409 2.0G High+ Premium suits buyers who need all-wheel drive: the RM10,000 gap over High+ buys AWD.

across the range — availability varies by variant
The CX-30 is straightforward in Malaysian specification: a 162 hp petrol automatic with five seats, offered in FWD or AWD. Its entry point sits above the Proton eMas 7, X70, Jetour Dashing and iCaur 03, but below the GAC Emkoo and BYD Atto 3. AWD is a clear RM10,000 step from High+; the other trim price jumps need an equipment-list check.
818 registered so far in 2026 — Malaysia's #59 best-selling model this year.
