The 2024 Mazda CX-30 is a sporty vehicle with a luxurious interior and an array of standard features. There's a whole lot about it that you'll find exciting, including an array of innovative features that make it stand out from the crowd. Let’s check out four of the most innovative features you’ll find when you slide behind the wheel of the new Mazda CX-30 for a test drive. more 1. Active Intelligent Driver Assistance Features Driver assistance features are always an impressive and extremely useful part of every car. In the 2024 Mazda CX-30, you'll find Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert standard, making it easier than ever to keep track of what's going on in the zones you can't see very well. Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go is also standard, and that allows you to enjoy some time where you don't have to worry about adjusting your speed, because the car will do it for you. A wide range of other features, including Driver Attention Alert, Lane-Keep Assist, and Lane Departure Warning are also standard and extremely helpful during day-to-day driving. 2. Feature-Packed Infotainment System The Mazda CX-30 has a feature-packed infotainment system. Some of its features include wireless smartphone connectivity, Pandora internet radio integration, and Mazda Connected Services. However, it can be difficult to navigate the system while you're driving, so that's where the innovative feature comes in: voice control. Instead of having to pull over to change a setting or look up information, you can simply instruct the system verbally while you're still driving. This is very useful when you're driving on your own and don't have a passenger to help you out with navigating the system. 3. Fuel Economy Information When you look at your 7-inch LCD meter display, you'll notice that it tells you a whole lot of information about your fuel economy. Your car will let you know your current and average fuel economy. It also tells you what estimated distance you can drive before the tank empties, making it easier to gauge when you should stop for gas, particularly on longer trips. Seeing your average fuel economy on every trip is extremely helpful, as you'll notice if that average fuel economy starts to drop right away. As decreased fuel economy can point to problems with your car, having this information makes it easier than ever to stay on top of your vehicle's health and catch problems early. 4. Mazda Navigation System Some of the higher trims of the CX-30 have a navigation system built in, so you no longer have to rely on navigation and map applications on your smartphone when visiting new areas. The system has functions such as a split screen setting and a 3D gyroscope sensor that make the navigation system even better than what you'd get when consulting Google or Apple Maps. These are just a few of the impressive features you'll find on the tech-packed, comfortable new 2024 Mazda CX-30.
