mazdas cx thirty this model been around for a couple years

00:00:08.980 --> 00:00:13.870
...aimed at the urban sub compact cross-over buyer wants a little bit

00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:18.690
of style and a little bit of fun the thing is this...feeling of bath we

00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:23.360
...enough for these small crossovers we just love of the question becomes

00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:28.880
...does the x thirty have...dna baked into it meaning...styles of

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:38.550
premium is some performance to stand out from the crowd let's find out.

00:00:38.550 --> 00:00:41.640
Americans don't like hatch bags we won't buy

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:47.110
them however reasonably error couple of inches...uv and...take

00:00:47.110 --> 00:00:51.800
...the cx thirty finds itself in an increasingly competitive

00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:56.590
segment right out competing against vehicles like the super across tracked the key is

00:00:56.590 --> 00:01:01.260
...and the chevy trailblazers however unlike those you'll

00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:05.650
notice there's no pretense of off-road capability this car is

00:01:05.650 --> 00:01:09.000
designed for driving around the city streets and that's what mars

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.980
is counting on buyers were...lakers that like the act of driving

00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:20.490
...are still convince they need...small compact suv.

00:01:20.490 --> 00:01:25.200
Design wise the cx thirty is using vases newest design language the

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.030
fronts pretty good-looking very similar to the mazda...however unlike the

00:01:29.030 --> 00:01:36.190
...three hash back there's a lot from up here but...looks nice.

00:01:36.190 --> 00:01:39.810
Coming down the side, you know, they have to make it read like an suv

00:01:39.810 --> 00:01:44.730
remember really hatch back so to do so they slap on theyou know,

00:01:44.730 --> 00:01:46.890
have circle of plastic and...think

00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:51.790
can't go off-road have off-road vendors kind of miss the wheels and tires of small kind

00:01:51.790 --> 00:01:56.320
of down market not-so-good right here coming back very nice could

00:01:57.910 --> 00:02:02.920
...you get to the rear the vehicle it looks just like any other suv?

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:13.260
Which is what the people want to?

00:02:13.260 --> 00:02:17.880
I'm inside the mazda cx thirty...appeals just like I'm inside a mazda three

00:02:17.880 --> 00:02:22.710
because the interiors are identical which you need to know is the

00:02:22.710 --> 00:02:25.950
models that has ambitious aspirations they want to

00:02:25.950 --> 00:02:32.490
move up market and as a result their cabins are getting more and more premium.

00:02:32.490 --> 00:02:43.160
There's a lot of nice material in here like this dashboard this-is...actually a really nice soft leather.

00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:45.950
Our messes leather seats are white leather which

00:02:45.950 --> 00:02:48.210
...bold choice...of an suv.

00:02:49.540 --> 00:02:53.160
There's some stuff that looks like leather...touch it really quickly like

00:02:53.160 --> 00:02:57.720
...some...type of rubber that's not really leather that's...looks nice

00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:02.390
villages that doesn't look or feel that nice like the top of the dash here but again

00:03:02.390 --> 00:03:07.050
this begins life as a twenty three thousand dollar cars are going to have some stuff like

00:03:07.050 --> 00:03:11.930
that the other bad part is infotainment screen not a touch-screen can't touchy if

00:03:11.930 --> 00:03:16.930
...old-school bmw style I drive controller doesn't do very much

00:03:16.930 --> 00:03:22.680
so very functional goodness is the graphics look really...

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.900
Behind me in the backseat not

00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:28.200
...remember though this is a sub compact size

00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:32.720
vehicle was not supposed to be however muslim redesign the

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:39.570
...of the cx thirty to be larger now you can get bigger things anyway.

00:03:39.570 --> 00:03:42.110
The big take away though is in this segment

00:03:42.110 --> 00:03:50.020
adverse price point this is an incredibly premium cabin.

00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:54.610
In terms of performance small crossovers are not known as drivers cars however

00:03:54.610 --> 00:03:58.750
mazdas or self...engineers but a lot of time and

00:03:58.750 --> 00:04:03.560
effort making sure that this thing drives better than it has to I've driven it does

00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.530
handle very well in terms of our under this heard is a inland

00:04:08.530 --> 00:04:13.200
for two-point-five...naturally aspirin motor make a hundred eighty six horse

00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:18.000
our and a hundred eighty six pound feet of torque it's not too much if you need more our there

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.070
is two hundred fifty horsepower turbo version available this

00:04:22.070 --> 00:04:26.140
one all wheel drive it could also comes front wheel drive front wheel drive models

00:04:26.140 --> 00:04:30.220
will get slightly better gas mileage and the all wheel drive however if all four wheels are

00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:35.030
driven you get all-weather capability makes it quite sure footed no matter which

00:04:35.030 --> 00:04:39.910
cx thirty you choose you are buying the best driving vehicle in the segment

00:04:39.910 --> 00:04:45.670
...right quality suffers as a result.

00:04:45.670 --> 00:04:50.090
In terms of safety it might be small but the six thirty is a safe vehicle

00:04:50.090 --> 00:04:54.120
...a five star crash reading in the insurance institute

00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.310
says a top safety pick plus what's the plus you get that we

00:04:58.310 --> 00:05:02.470
have a lot of standard active safety features such as adaptive cruise

00:05:02.470 --> 00:05:09.330
controls end on the hired your models the headlights turn with the steering wheel.

00:05:09.330 --> 00:05:11.520
In terms of price you can get into a

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:14.890
monster cx thirty four right around twenty three thousand

00:05:14.890 --> 00:05:19.430
dollars which is totally in line with the competition the super cross...twenty three

00:05:19.430 --> 00:05:23.980
thousand dollars that sell twenty, twenty three thousand-dollars a chevy trailblazers four

00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:27.940
thousand dollars less that's a whole other story this one next to me is a

00:05:27.940 --> 00:05:31.990
premium model remembers all wheel drive so it sits at

00:05:31.990 --> 00:05:36.310
just about thirty two thousand-dollars however remember with this one all

00:05:36.310 --> 00:05:43.150
...plus that great interior and it really is a great car to drive.

00:05:43.150 --> 00:05:46.880
If there's one thing I want you to know about the mazda cx thirty

00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:51.380
it's that if you need a sub compact...this one is the

00:05:51.380 --> 00:05:54.900
in these choice plus you get a sharp

00:05:54.900 --> 00:05:59.350
...premium cabin and the prices right look, you know,

00:05:59.350 --> 00:06:03.510
what I know it mazda...you're never going off-road start pretending

00:06:03.510 --> 00:06:10.060
instead why don't you buy a cross-over that's actually good drive?

00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:12.560
