2022 Mazda CX-30 Ignite Edition

 

Bermaz Motor Malaysia has updated the Mazda CX-30 for the 2022 model year, with two new Ignite Edition variants joining the line-up. The CX-30 is the second model to get the Ignite Edition treatment after the CX-9 last September. The Ignite Edition variants of the CX-30 are based on the existing 2.0G High and 2.0G High AWD, the latter of which is now discontinued. As such, the range now starts with the base 2.0G Core (RM 145,759), followed by the 2.0G High (RM 160,109), 2.0G High Ignite Edition (RM 169,044), 2.0G High AWD Ignite Edition (RM 180,689), while the sole diesel option is the 1.8D High (RM 168,673.60).

In terms of styling, the Ignite Edition variants get some visual tweaks like 18-inch wheels that are the same size as those fitted on the variants they are based on, albeit finished in black rather than silver. Similarly, the side mirror caps are in black rather than body colour. Meanwhile, the interior upholstery is burgundy leather rather than black. As for equipment changes, the Ignite Edition variants gain a 360-degree surround view camera instead of a usual reverse camera. The i-Activsense suite of safety and driver assistance systems has also been improved to include Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA), Driver Attention Alert and Driver Monitoring as well as Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS), the last of which is a Level 2 semi-autonomous highway driving mode with steering assist to keep you in lane.

The new systems join existing ones like Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS), High Beam Control (HBC), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Driver Attention Alert (DAA), Smart City Brake Support (front and rear) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC).

The rest of the 2.0G variants (Core, High and High Ignite Edition) use the same engine and transmission but drive only goes to the front wheels. This is also true of the 1.8D High, although it has a SkyActiv-D 1.8 litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with 114 hp at 4,000 rpm and 270 Nm from 1,600 to 2,700 rpm instead.
