Shared Specs

While the 2021 Mazda CX-30 has a turbocharged engine variant, it is not available on the 2.5 S or Select trims. Both trims feature the standard 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder. It produces 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic. Both models come equipped with FWD, but AWD is available. FWD models get 25-city/33-highway mpg; AWD models get 24-city/31-highway mpg.

2.5 S Features

The 2021 Mazda CX-30 2.5 S is packed with features. It has Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth, two USB ports, HD radio, an 8.8-inch infotainment display, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster display, and LED headlights. Safety-wise, it has forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, driver drowsiness monitoring, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, and a rearview camera.

Select Features

The Select trim ups the ante without cranking up the price. It switches out the cloth upholstery for leatherette, adding in a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob as well. Dual-zone automatic climate control is also added with this trim, bumping comfort levels even higher. Proximity keyless entry is standard. In terms of safety, the Select has everything the 2.5 S has, plus blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert.
