Just wondering how the suspensions / platforms compare between the new CX-30 coming vs the CX-5?
CX-30 is based on the 2019 Mazda3, torsion beam rear axle and all.
And for that reason, I*d be very wary of having one without a full assessment of how it compares. For the difference in price, you get a lot more car for your money with a CX5.
Agreed. The CX-30 is for people who don't care what kind of suspension the car has. It's a cheaper, rougher riding car built to a lower price, with the cost cutting you'd expect. Besides, it's just too small. I wouldn't want to go any smaller.
The torsion beam isn't used because it's better, it's used because it's less expensive. I'd rather have an independent rear with a multi link. All 4 wheels can move independently of each other.
To each his own. When you go over a pothole or bump (and there are a lot of bumps that you can't see on a road) with a torsion beam, it'll transmit some of that force to the other side. To me, it's hard to see it as anything other than cost cutting. Same with the deletion of the touchscreen, even if the new screen is 1 inch larger.
