Assembled at the Inokom plant in Kulim, Kedah, the new CX-30 ensemble comes in four variants of 2.0 STD, 2.0 High, 2.0L High+ and 2.0L High+ Premium.
Mazda Malaysia has installed production processes and quality control steps similar to those done on Mazda vehicles manufactured in Japan.
On-the-road without insurance prices for Peninsular Malaysia are RM128,109 for the 2.0 STD, 2.0 High (RM136,109), 2.0 High+ (RM146,109) and 2.0 High+ Premium (RM156,109).
Compared with earlier fully-imported versions, the new locally assembled CX-30 with similar specifications are cheaper around RM14,000 to RM20,000.
Metallic colours are Deep Crystal Blue, Platinum Quartz, Polymetal Gray and Jet Black while Premium colours are Soul Red Crystal, Machine Gray and Snowflake White Pearl which cost RM2,000 more.
Installed accessories such as Activ-e film and sill plates with LED will also bump the vehicle price up by RM2,210.
All variants are now front-wheel drive and powered by a 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G direct injection engine with 162hp and 213Nm of torque coupled to a six-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission with manual shift mode.
The 2.0 STD gets 16-inch wheels and fabric seats while the rest get 18-inch wheels, leather seats and paddle shifters.
Standard across the range are seven airbags, LED head and tail lights, electronic power steering, Cruise Control, rain-sensing wipers, Active Driving Display (Heads-Up Display), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Traction Control System (TCS), Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), Hill Launch Assist (HLA), Auto Hold Function, Auto Door Lock and Walk Away Lock.

In addition, all variants will also get eight audio speakers, two USB ports, Stop/Start Idling Technology and G-Vectoring Control Plus Technology.
The Mazda i-Activsense advanced safety features such as the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Lane-Keep Assist System (LAS), Driver Attention Alert (DAA), Smart Brake Support (SBS) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC) will come as standard in the 2.0 High+ and 2.0 High+ Premium variants.

Bermaz Auto executive chairman Datuk Seri Ben Yeoh said local assembling had enabled the company to obtain government incentives and tax benefits that enabled the new CX-30 variants to be offered at substantially lower prices.
"We had backlog orders of the fully-imported CX-30 which we are unable to fulfil but we have managed to convince our customers to convert to the locally assembled model," he said.
He said the customers were happy with the move and the savings they had made.
Yeoh also said the new CX-30 would not be exported to other Asean countries at the moment as there is a high local demand for the model.
All new Mazda vehicles registered come with a 5-Years Manufacturer Warranty + 5-Years Free Maintenance (except Mazda BT-50) according to manufacturer’s standards, including labour, parts and lubricants.
Both Manufacturer's Warranty and Free Maintenance have a coverage period of five years and a mileage limit of 100,000km, whichever comes first.
