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 :)

I’ve heard in videos (So take this with a grain of salt), that the Turbo engine either, doesn’t feel that different from the N/A Engine at low revs (It only shows over 4,000 RPM with premium fuel) or that it is tuned like an SUV engine, so, lots of torque but not a lot of power so it isn’t fast :(

So it seems the N/A engine is the way :),
