Review: 2021 Mazda CX-30 2.5 Turbo - The Best Gets Better

I spend a few days with the 2021 Mazda CX-30 2.5 Turbo and find that the turbo engine only improves the already fantastic CX-30 experience. With 250 hp and 320 lb/ft of torque, it has best-in-class power and the G-forces are enough to make you giggle. Not only does the CX-30 Turbo impress in the power department, it has fantastic handling and road manners to go long with it. All while coddling you in the most luxurious interior in the segment as well. The Turbo CX-30 doesn't just compare favorably with the mainstream competitors, it also embarrasses many of the luxury brands that charge nearly $10,000 more for comparable models that still have much less power. Overall, the CX-30 2.5 Turbo is the new benchmark. What do you think of the CX-30 Turbo? Thanks to Mazda for providing this vehicle to review.
