Who says that it can’t be fun to drive a compact crossover? Certainly nobody that’s ever been behind the wheel of the CX-30 2.5 Turbo.

It’s a newer addition to Mazda’s lineup, and it’s one of the most fun to drive. The performance specs on this car are off the charts, but that’s not the only thing that makes this car fun. It’s a top-notch choice all-around, and we’ll highlight why for you here.

Improved Performance Specs

Anytime you turbocharge an engine you can expect the performance specs to jump, and that’s certainly the case with the Mazda CX-30 2.5 Turbo. While the stock engine pushes out 186-horsepower and 186 ft-lb of torque, the turbocharged engine puts those numbers to shame.

The 2.5 turbo pushes out 250-horsepower and an impressive 310 ft-lb of torque, which leads to a faster and more responsive engine that is simply more fun to drive. It takes the 0 to 60 time from 8.1 seconds to 5.8.

While the standard 2.5 isn’t the quickest compact crossover on the market, when you get the turbocharged engine it’s easily one of the fastest.

Sport Mode!

If you’re looking for the maximum takeoff speed and most responsive drive with the CX-30, all you need to do is move the shifter to Sport Mode. This unlocks all the performance features you crave, but it also allows you to save some money on fuel when you don’t need the extra pickup.

Sport Mode is a great feature for the Mazda CX-30 2.5 Turbo, and we highly recommend that you take full advantage of it.

The Sound System

Having a quick and responsive vehicle makes it fun to drive, but of course you still need some tunes! That standard sound system in the Mazda CX-30 comes with 8 speakers. But if you’re looking for even more sound and quality, then they offer an upgraded Bose 12-speaker package starting at the Premium trim level.

Between the 2.5 Turbo and the 12-speaker Bose sound system, there’s no doubt that the CX-30 turbo is a blast to drive!

Safe as Ever

Mazda is all about making vehicles that are both fun and safe to drive. The CX-30 fits that mold, and it comes with tons of safety features.

These features include the Lane Departure Warning System, Lane-Keep Assist, a rearview camera, Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and a Driver Attention Alert System.

Whether you’re the one getting behind the wheel or you’re thinking of when your kids start driving, just because it’s fun doesn’t mean it’s not safe!
