The 2026 Mazda CX-30 lineup adds two new Kuro Editions to the Canadian market. For British Columbia drivers evaluating their next vehicle, this breakdown examines all six trims, with focus on how the GS Kuro and GT Kuro Turbo expand choice in the compact crossover segment.

At a Glance: 2026 Mazda CX-30 Lineup

Foundation: CX-30 GX

The CX-30 GX uses Mazda's naturally aspirated 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine producing 186 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission featuring manual and sport modes.

For 2026, all CX-30 models receive updated dampers and a brake limited-slip differential. Standard i-Activ all-wheel drive provides traction across British Columbia's varied road conditions, while G-Vectoring Control Plus and Off-Road Traction Assist address handling dynamics.

The GX cabin seats five in black cloth with three-level heated front seats and manual climate control. The 8.8-inch Mazda Connect display integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, controlled via the multi-function commander knob. An eight-speaker system with Mazda Harmonic Acoustics, dual USB-C inputs, and a seven-inch LCD gauge display complete the technology package.

Standard i-Activsense safety features include Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Smart Brake Support, High Beam Control, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Alert, and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Mazda Connected Services provides one year of complimentary remote vehicle monitoring through the MyMazda app.

Exterior appointments include LED automatic headlights, LED taillights, daytime running lights, a black rear spoiler, grey metallic 16-inch alloy wheels, and a matte-finish front grille.

Mid-Range Enhancement: CX-30 GS

The GS trim builds on the GX with comfort and technology upgrades. The infotainment system expands to a 10.25-inch full-colour display with touchscreen functionality for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Wireless phone charging (Qi) is standard, while automatic dual-zone climate control with rear vents addresses all-season comfort for all passengers.

Interior features include a heated steering wheel, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and upgraded cabin materials. Outside, 18-inch silver alloy wheels replace the GX's 16-inch units, while rain-sensing wipers, heated exterior mirrors, and privacy glass for rear doors and cargo area add functionality.

GS Kuro Edition: Black Exterior Package

The GS Kuro Edition introduces Mazda's Kuro styling philosophy to the mid-range CX-30 lineup. This edition transforms the GS with coordinated black exterior accents and a two-tone interior.

Exterior Features:

• Black roof rails
• Black-painted signature wings
• Gloss black Mazda emblems throughout
• 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels

Interior Upgrades:

The Kuro cabin features white leatherette seats with grey cloth inserts. Grey suede-like trim and light-grey stitching complete the design. Comfort features include a power glass moonroof, 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar support and 2-position memory, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and advanced keyless entry.

Exterior mirrors gain reverse tilt-down and memory-linked positioning—useful for navigating tight parking situations in Surrey and throughout the Lower Mainland.

Technology Addition:

The GS Kuro adds Cruise and Traffic Support, providing steering and speed assistance in stop-and-go conditions. This feature addresses Highway 1 commutes and congested urban driving.

GT Trim: Advanced Safety and Convenience

The GT trim incorporates all GS Kuro features while adding safety and convenience technologies. A 360° View Monitor provides visibility when parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, while the Active Driving Display projects information within the driver's line of sight. Traffic Sign Recognition and an Adaptive Front-lighting System address safety and awareness.

The GT cabin features black leather seats, a power liftgate for cargo access, and silver metallic 18-inch alloy wheels. LED signature illumination headlights and taillights, a piano black front grille, chrome wheel centre cap emblems, and the Mazda front badge complete the exterior.

Canadian-focused features include a front wiper de-icer, automatic headlight levelling, and an auto-dimming driver's side mirror—all designed for British Columbia's winter conditions.

GT buyers can select the optional Garnet Red interior package, which includes Garnet Red leather upholstery, black dash with red accent stitching, Jet Black Mica exterior mirrors, and 18-inch alloy wheels with black finish.

Turbocharged Performance: GT Turbo

The GT Turbo introduces Mazda's 2.5 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, delivering 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque on 93-octane fuel, or 227 hp and 310 lb-ft on 87-octane. Maximum torque arrives between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm.

Visual differentiation comes through black 18-inch alloy wheels, Jet Black exterior mirrors, and black-plated exterior badging.

GT Kuro Turbo: Top-Spec Model

The GT Kuro Turbo combines turbocharged performance with Kuro Edition styling. This trim delivers the same powertrain as the GT Turbo—250 hp and 320 lb-ft on premium fuel—while introducing the Kuro interior treatment.

Interior:

White leatherette seats with grey Leganu inserts create a bright cabin atmosphere that contrasts with the blacked-out exterior. Light grey stitching and Grey Leganu trim throughout the cabin complete the two-tone design.

Technology Package:

The GT Kuro Turbo includes a Bose 12-speaker audio system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Mazda Online Navigation, and Amazon Alexa integration—the most comprehensive technology suite in the CX-30 range.

Exterior Styling:

• 18-inch black alloy wheels
• Jet Black exterior mirrors
• Black signature wings
• Gloss black emblems throughout

The $6,950 price difference between Kuro editions reflects the turbocharged powertrain, Bose audio system, online navigation, and expanded driver assistance features.
