2025 Mazda CX-30
What is the 2025 Mazda CX-30 MPG?
If you're eyeing the 2025 Mazda CX-30, fuel efficiency is likely part of the equation. This subcompact SUV blends athletic performance with a premium driving experience, and it does so without guzzling gas. With two engine options—standard and turbocharged—buyers can choose the balance of power and economy that suits their lifestyle. Whether you're commuting, road-tripping, or running errands around town, the Mazda CX-30 MPG figures keep this vehicle competitive and practical in today's market.
2025 Mazda CX-30 MPG Ratings
The 2025 Mazda CX-30 offers two key MPG ratings based on the engine you choose. The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivers an EPA-estimated 26 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the highway, and 29 mpg combined. If you opt for the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, those numbers drop slightly to 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. These figures reflect the standard all-wheel-drive setup across all trims, which can impact fuel economy compared to front-wheel-drive competitors. In real-world highway testing, the CX-30 closely matched its EPA estimate, delivering 31–32 mpg depending on trim and equipment. That makes it a solid choice for fuel-conscious drivers who still want dynamic handling.
Fuel Tank Capacity and Driving Range
The 2025 Mazda CX-30 is equipped with a 12.7-gallon fuel tank. That gives the standard engine an estimated driving range of approximately 368 miles on a full tank in combined driving conditions. Choose the turbocharged model, and the range dips slightly to approximately 317 miles, due to its lower fuel economy. On long highway drives, you can expect to get closer to 400 miles between fill-ups with either version. While not the largest tank in the segment, it's sufficient for most daily needs and weekend getaways.
Mazda CX-30 MPG vs. Competitors
The 2025 Mazda CX-30 MPG competes well with other subcompact SUVs. The Chevrolet Trax and Kia Niro Hybrid offer better fuel economy—with the Niro Hybrid delivering over 50 mpg combined—but they lack the premium interior and driving dynamics of the CX-30. The Volkswagen Taos offers similar fuel economy (28–31 mpg combined) but trails behind in refinement. While Mazda's turbocharged engine sacrifices some efficiency for power, it's still more efficient than similarly powerful rivals like the turbocharged Hyundai Kona. Overall, the CX-30 strikes a strong balance between sporty performance and fuel savings.
Factors Affecting Fuel Efficiency
Although the EPA ratings provide a good benchmark, your actual mileage per gallon (MPG) can vary due to multiple real-world factors.
Driving Conditions
Stop-and-go city traffic, aggressive acceleration, and cold weather can all lower your fuel economy. Conversely, smooth highway cruising at consistent speeds helps you get closer to—or even exceed—EPA estimates. The CX-30 performs especially well on the highway, which is where it hits its highest efficiency. Urban drivers may see slightly lower figures, especially with the turbo engine, but the SUV's nimble nature and smaller footprint make it well-suited for city life despite occasional MPG dips.
Vehicle Upkeep
Staying on top of regular maintenance is one of the easiest ways to preserve your Mazda CX-30 MPG. Keeping tires properly inflated, changing air filters, and using the recommended motor oil all contribute to better MPG. A well-maintained engine runs more efficiently, while poor upkeep—like clogged filters or outdated spark plugs—can drag down your fuel economy over time. Mazda's service schedule makes it simple to keep your vehicle in peak condition, helping you get the most from every gallon.
