Refreshed 2025 Mazda CX-30 Reveals Everything Inside-Out, Though Only Virtually

Even the Mazda3 passenger car was up with a 26% jump across the first four months of the year. Still, of course, the crossover SUVs represent the bulk of deliveries – more than 116k vehicles compared to almost 15k during the January to April period. Of them, highlights were the all-new CX-90 or the interesting CX-50 sibling of the best-selling CX-5, but the little CX-30 wasn't too shabby either.

Introduced as a subcompact crossover SUV on the Small Product Group platform for the 2020 model year, the little CX-30 is fast approaching the point of spending half a decade on the market but shows no signs of fatigue. In fact, through April, Mazda saw a 40% jump in deliveries for the little CUV. As such, it only makes sense that the Japanese automaker wants to keep it interesting through a mid-cycle refresh that won't drastically change the winning formula.

That's the gist of the rumor mill, too, and the imaginative realm of digital car content creators strongly agrees. More precisely, the good folks over at the AutoYa info channel on YouTube have unofficially imagined the CGI looks of the upcoming 2025 Mazda CX-30 subcompact CUV with upgrades across the board. Taking inspiration from the latest releases like the CX-70 and CX-90, the channel's resident pixel master restyled the headlights and taillights along with the front fascia to be in line with these models, as well as the rugged CX-50.

Moving inside, there's a fresh steering wheel and a larger central display for the infotainment system, along with a bunch of new colors. As always, the latest video feature from the CGI outlet includes a quick comparison between the old and the new (rendered) Mazda CX-30, along with a lengthy color reel – both inside and out. There's no word on technical specifications as the host probably doesn't expect changes to the 2.5-liter engine (offered with or without turbocharging) and packing either 191 or 250 horsepower.

However, at one point during the virtual presentation, they did suggest that Mazda could skip the traditional mid-cycle facelift procedure and present an all-new second-generation CX-30. Frankly, that doesn't make a lot of sense because we haven't heard anything like that across the rumor mill, and Mazda is anyway fully preoccupied with the upcoming generational changeover of the crucial CX-5 compact crossover SUV bestseller, which is going to receive a new hybrid powertrain. So, what do you think about this unofficial 2025 Mazda CX-30? Is it a yay or a nay?
