Mazda CX-30 named Thailand Car of the Year 2020

 

 

Mazda Motor Corporation’s crossover SUV, Mazda CX-30, has been named Thailand Car of the Year 2020 by the Thai Automotive Journalists Association. This is the third time in history and the second year running that a Mazda vehicle takes the award after the Mazda3 and CX-3 won the award in 2019 and 2016 respectively.

 

The CX-30 was chosen as the top pick among seven finalists by a judging panel comprised of over 60 automotive journalists.

Lovely looking car, thinking about getting one next year.

 

Nothing special in terms of performance but okay for most.

I have driven it and was not impressed. It was not quiet as Mazda said,  and not a very comfortable drive. You have to buy top of the range to get electric seats. Here in Australia that would cost about A$46,000 !  Expensive. I bought a Nissan Qashqai for A$30,000 and it had an electric seat for the driver, and it is just as good. The only great thing about the Mazda is the colour.  Rarely see one on the road over here, a poor seller.  

Bought a top spec CX 30 in April and I have nothing bad to say about the car. Very comfortable and has all the bells and whistles one can get except cooled seats. Rides smoother and quieter than my old 2014 Mazda 3. Pretty quick when compared to other Thai cars with its 2 liter engine and 6 speed trans.

 

Given that 202 has been such a hellacious sh***storm, I'm thinking this is not something to shout about. "The Car of 2020, when Hell got down and boogied!" (or something similar)

This site is about Thailand. My CX3 Sp was 1,050,000 baht 3 years ago and translates roughly to what I would spend in other countries.  Unlike other brands, where you pay much more up to 327%.

 

I'm probably going to buy this CX30, but also like the imported CX9.

I thought you'd have nicer wheels if it's the top model.

The ones on the CX3 are much better. I also prefer the chrome along the side.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion.
