Every CX-30 model year from 2020 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Compact SUV of the same year.
Across 6 scored model years the CX-30 sits close to its class average on both counts. The spread between years is what matters: 2023 is its strongest, 2021 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Compact SUV sold that same model year.

The line held a middling position through 2021, then moved to strong from 2022 on. Recent years have been slipping. This 2025 car falls in a strong stretch.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every CX-30 model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Compact SUV of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2023–2025), the trouble concentrates in one place: interior & safety. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Compact SUV of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
