What is the curb weight of the Mazda CX-30?
3 Answers
The curb weight is 1442kg. Additional information is as follows: 1. Data parameters: The Mazda CX-30 has slightly larger body dimensions compared to the CX-3, with a length of 4395mm, width of 1795mm, height of 1540mm, and a wheelbase of 2655mm. It is smaller in size compared to the CX-5. The CX-30 features more elongated side lines, and while the D-pillar does not adopt the hidden design of the CX-3, the rear windows are equipped with privacy glass. 2. Powertrain: The Mazda CX-30 is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 158 HP and a peak torque of 202 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I drive a Mazda CX-30 myself, and the vehicle's weight depends on the specific configuration. My 2.0L front-wheel-drive version has a curb weight of around 1,395 kg, approximately 1.4 tons, and it feels quite light for daily driving. If you opt for the 2.5L all-wheel-drive version, the weight increases to nearly 1.5 tons, equivalent to carrying two extra adults. The weight has a direct impact—my car averages about 8 liters per 100 km in city driving, while the all-wheel-drive version consumes an extra liter. The weight provides good stability when cornering, especially at highway speeds where it doesn’t feel floaty. However, too much weight can make acceleration sluggish, which is why Mazda uses a lot of high-strength steel in the chassis to balance safety and weight. I recommend comparing the specs when buying—front-wheel drive is sufficient for city commuting, but if you often drive on mountain roads, the heavier all-wheel-drive version might be a better choice.
As someone who frequently deals with new cars, the CX-30 starts at around 1.4 tons in curb weight, with the top-tier AWD version exceeding 1.5 tons. Vehicle weight primarily depends on three key components: the engine bay takes up the majority, where a 2.0L engine is about 100 kg lighter than a turbocharged one; the entire AWD system adds approximately 80 kg, akin to carrying a large piece of luggage; and premium comfort features like power seats and panoramic sunroofs gradually increase the weight. The driving experience differs noticeably—the lighter version feels more agile in steering, while the heavier one provides more stability over speed bumps. Interestingly, Mazda has put effort into weight reduction, such as using thinner glass to cut weight by 10%, making its weight control among the best in its class among Japanese cars. When purchasing, prioritize your daily needs: opt for the lighter version for commuting and the higher trim for road trips.
