2025 Mazda CX-30 2.5 S Preferred Overview near Athens, GA
2025 MAZDA CX-30 2.5 S Preferred shown above.
Two levels up from the base trim, the 2.5 S Preferred iteration of the 2025 Mazda CX-30 bestows upon its drivers exterior, interior, and certain technological upgrades. We at Gerald Jones Mazda consider this to be an upgrade our customers will be wowed by, though you can only know for sure by contacting us and scheduling a test drive. Until then, there’s valuable information ahead!
Design
Going for the 2.5 S Preferred trim of the Mazda CX-30 opens up an array of exterior colors to choose from. Between the six available, some of the most popular variants include Jet Black Mica, Machine Gray Metallic1, and Soul Red Crystal Metallic1. Its front grille is finished gloss black, giving the fascia the same level of allure as its various paint options. The profile of this subcompact SUV is also given subtle treatments with body-colored folding power side mirrors. They also come with stylish integrated turn signals and memory positioning, saving you and your spouse time as you trade driving positions when en route to the Sandy Creek Nature Center. Also found at this side of this model are 18-inch alloy wheels, giving it an imposing stance.
Performance
A relatively small frame and SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine are what make the 2025 Mazda CX-30 2.5 S Preferred so much fun to pilot around Athens. The powertrain exuberantly pumps out 191 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque, meaning that the vehicle is quick around town and on major highways. A SKYACTIV®-DRIVE 6-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission works with the engine to deliver the verve quickly while also managing the model’s fuel economy so that it uses what’s in reserve conservatively. Earning 26/33/29 MPG city/hwy/combined2 in estimated fuel economy ratings, the Mazda CX-30 2.5 S Preferred will be your go-to car for all trips through Highway 78. If you’re in a bind during inclement weather, the off-road traction assist3 that is part of the i-ACTIV AWD® can quickly lodge it out of snow or sand.
Interior
Be expected to be treated like royalty whenever you’re within the Mazda CX-30 2.5 S Preferred with pleasantries such as heated front seats and an 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support and 2-position memory settings. Your passenger will also have access to luxurious amenities by way of the dual-zone automatic climate control system that works to divide preferred temperature settings between both driver and copilot. With Alexa Built-in4, either of you can also control how warm or cool the cabin is with only a vocal prompt. This is just one example of the many functions that the voice assistant is capable of, so why not allow our sales team to demonstrate even more to you?

Dealership Information
Testimonials
Great service and speed!
Friendly and helpful staff.
“ Friendly and helpful staff. Had my vehicle ready promptly and reviewed all services performed. ”
very quick
“ I first contacted Mr. PJ Jones over Cargurus, communication is very prompt and Mr. PJ gave me a competitive price and fee schedule. It is a bit nervous because I am from SC and will travel over 2 hours to get to their dealership, Gary the sales person makes the paperwork process very smooth. Upon arrival at Augusta, the buying process is very quick, I got the paperwork done in less than 20 minutes the most. To my surprise, whatever Mr. PJ quoted me over email is exactly what I am getting. No hidden fee, changes at the last minute. It is great to see people do business that way. The only small thing is they put a sticker on the back of the car which seems way to big, be nice if they can put smaller sticker that blends in better with the vehicle or just don't put the sticker on their. ”

Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine
“ Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine. Before my appointment, I kept having to reschedule my appointments. He offered to let me use his car if I needed it. People are not kind anymore. That was the nicest thing anyone has said or offered to do in quite some time. He also gave me a discount. I was very grateful for. He is willing to help in anyway possible. He made my experience with Mazda EXCELLENT! Thank you Kevin. God bless you! ”

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had
“ This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. I worked with the dealer via text and phone and lined up great pricing and a trade in value (numbers checked vs. Kelly Blue Book) as well as approved 5 year/ 0% financing the day before I before I went to the dealership. I had to drive from Charleston to Augusta because none of the Charleston or Columbia dealers could even get close to this deal. When I got there, they didn't try to change any of the terms or upsell me anything else. They just showed me all the features on my new car, had me sign the paperwork, and I was out of there in 40 minutes total. Plus I LOVE my new CX5!!! This is how car buying should be. ”
Great folks, Great Place!
