Let’s be honest: the past year, with stay-at-home orders, mask mandates, and social distancing has been hard. Luckily, all signs are pointing to the light at the end of the COVID tunnel, but we’re not quite out of the woods yet. One thing you can do this summer is to take a road trip in a car that’s sporty enough to be fun and roomy enough to hold everything you need. The 2021 Mazda CX-30, available now from Team Mazda in Baton Rouge, is the perfect car for what’s shaping up to be a road trip summer.
The new Mazda CX-30 is designed from the bottom up to inherit the versatility and classic look of an SUV, as well as the smoother driving and better handling of a sedan. The result is an attractive, extremely drivable vehicle that you’ll want to zoom around the Gulf Coast in. Speaking of zooming, the CX-30’s engine is a 186-hp, 2.5-L number that’s obviously built for people who love to drive. You can also upgrade the engine to a turbo option with 250 hp if that’s more your speed. Either way, the Mazda’s engine is efficient, reaching up to 28 combined mpg, so your road trip won’t hurt your wallet.

In your 2021 CX-30, there’s a number of day trips you can take from the Baton Rouge area. Houston’s a quick 5-hour jaunt to the west, and has plenty of great restaurants, museums, and parks. There’s some great hiking in Tunica Hills, just an hour and a half or so north of here. Or if the beach is more your taste, head east or south to the Gulf coast and take in the sun and the waves. Wherever you go, driving there will be a breeze with Mazda’s well-engineered interior and drivetrain!
Every new Mazda CX-30 comes standard with dual-zone climate control, an Active Driving Display on the windshield, the Mazda Connect infotainment system, and a full-color, 8.8-inch center screen. You can also opt for a sliding-glass moonroof, for those night drives along the coast or underneath the bright lights of the city, or a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system to really blast your road trip tunes!

One of the best parts of taking a road trip is going off the beaten path. With the CX-30’s available GPS system, you can take all the diversions you want without worrying about finding your way back home. Plus, with all of the storage space around the cabin, you can stow plenty of snacks, drinks, or supplies for an impromptu day driving around the parish, or even down to New Orleans!
Since you’ve been staying so safe this past year, you’ll want a car that’ll keep you safe too. Luckily, the 2021 CX-30 has an almost perfect score on government safety tests, with standard features like Driver Attention Alert, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Mazda Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keep Assist, Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, and more. With the MyMazda app and available in-car Wi-Fi, automatic 911 dialing, and roadside assistance, you’ll have the confidence to meet whatever the road throws your way.

So go out this summer, and get away with the new Mazda CX-30 from Team Mazda in Baton Rouge. We have new and used Mazdas on our lot at 10968 Airline Highway in Baton Rouge, and with dependable service and parts, and comprehensive financing, we’ll be happy to get you in a Mazda today!
