It has been out since 2019 and based on the previous gen release years (1, 2003) (2, 2008) (3, 2013) (4, 2019) there seems to be a refresh every five years except from the 3rd to 4th gen which is a 6 year gap.
It it worth it to get a 4th gen hatch now or will a new version come out in a year? What do you guys think?
I don’t think it is coming soon man :(
The CX-5, their best selling model is from 7 years ago, if anything is getting updated after the whole CX-60/70/80/90 range is done it is the CX-5.
I love the Mazda 3! But I wouldn’t be surprised if Mazda just had the CX-30 replace it, because Mazda doesn’t quite have the money Toyota and Honda have to absorb low sales (And even then, the Corolla and Civic sell a lot, the Mazda 3 doesn’t)
But if we do get a new generation I would like a better styled Hatchback (No Sedan anymore if that doesn’t sell), no weird small windows and thick C Pilars, hopefully a little more space?
But these are problems the CX-30 already solved. So even if they gave me a new CX-30 with no plastic cladding, and have it be slightly more luxurious (You know, having color leather inserts on the dashboard like the Mazda 3 when you get white or red interior, and the addition of said red interior) I would be totally fine and satisfied as well, I wouldn’t like to see the end of the 3, but I would understand if it happened :)
