Mazda Southern Africa has introduced updates to the CX-30 range that focus on improving in-car usability and design consistency. The enhancements take effect from November 2025 and are aimed at keeping the crossover’s cabin experience aligned with evolving customer expectations.

All CX-30 models will now feature a touchscreen centre display that becomes active when using Wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. This means drivers and passengers can interact directly with key infotainment functions through touch controls, in addition to Mazda’s familiar rotary command interface.

Alongside the new screen functionality, the interior trim has also been revised. The navy accents on the instrument panel, door trims, armrests, and rear console in the Active and Dynamic derivatives have been replaced with a uniform black finish, giving the cabin a cleaner and more cohesive look.

Mazda says these changes reflect its focus on driver-centric design and subtle refinement rather than major overhauls. The goal is to keep the CX-30 competitive in the compact crossover segment while maintaining its reputation for comfort and quality.

“The CX-30 continues to offer the kind of understated sophistication that resonates with South African drivers,” says Deolinda Da Costa, Head of Marketing at Mazda South Africa. “With the new touchscreen functionality and refined interior styling, we’re making the driving experience more intuitive and better suited to modern lifestyles.”
