    Yes to that ground clearance. Saw one soul red along molino boulevard.

    CX-30 Turbo

    That 250hp crossover hot hatchback put a smile to Doug DeMuro's face [emoji1787]

    Too bad Mazda PH is unlikely going to bring this turbo charged skyactiv engine here.

    CX-30 continues to reap awards.

    It was also named Top Gear Philippines COTY.

    But I wonder how the real world sales are here in the Philippines?

    I hardly see any on the road in the few times that I am out.

    Walang benta. Usual naman yan for Mazda - dami awards, walang benta. The Mazda 3 has been their most successful model locally but still has not outsold the Civic or Altis.

    Am a happy Mazda owner but hindi talaga siya designed for mass market success - masyado masikip and mahal for the typical car buyer.

    Available naman yung same 2.5L turbo engine with the Mazda6 and CX9. I test driven the Mazda6 with the 2.5L turbo engine and it’s good. Sadly the test drive was only within BGC so I didn’t get to redline the tachometer.

    Agree. May benta naman pero very small compared to other brands perceieved with high resale value.

    With Mazda's premium slogan which puts their models on top of the average Honda/Toyota model but cheaper than the luxury brands like Lexus and Euro brands, it will be a huge challenge for them to achieve better sales.

    I guess Mazda is not really aiming for mass appeal. They are going for the premium brand and high quality that can compete with the luxury brands without the high pricetag.

    I chanced upon 2 new Mazda3 and CX-30 last Sunday on my way to Landmark Trinoma QC. Mas malaki siguro and probability na makita siguro mga ito kapag weekend, malamang baka work from home mga owners during weekdays [emoji23]

    A few of my neighbors have Mazda3, Mazda6, CX5, and CX9. Wala ako napansin na CX30. Mas marami pa naka Explorer at LC200 kaysa CX9.

    The CX30 came out during the pandemic after the BP3. Not many out there.

    So does it mean the popular best-selling cars are the “winners”?

    Not an excuse if you ask me. People still bought cars last year. It’s a hard sell for crossovers with gas engines, much more if it’s over 2M.

    I can still vividly remember my conversation with a coworker who has a family biz buy/sell car. I told her I prefer the Mazda3 over the Toyota Altis and Honda Civic. Driving dynamics, simplicity of the interior controls (physical buttons better than touchscreen), elegant exterior design.

    She told me "but Mazda has very low resale value"

    To which I said "I don't buy a car for high resale value. It's a long term relationship for me. I buy something because it will meet my daily driving needs, and because I love the car."

    Yes, I have an emotional attachment to all the cars my family has owned.

    Most cars depreciate value after being sold. Resale value is not a huge factor for me.

    Even the Toyota RAV4 is not selling well.

    perhaps that is one reason why some cars are not better-sellers.
    they have a low resell value, because they are not good sellers brand-new.
    they are not good sellers, brand-new, because of their perceived low resell value.
    the vicious cycle.

    CX30 is the ugly duckling of the kodo family. Huge wheel arches on a lifted hatchback looks awkward af. 1.5M for the base model, its priced not to sell. Just like the Rav4.

    No wonder we're seeing so many Ford Territories and Geely Coolrays. Looks, power, and price make for a best seller in the subcompact crossover segment never mind if its from China.
