The CX30 came out during the pandemic after the BP3. Not many out there.

So does it mean the popular best-selling cars are the “winners”?

Not an excuse if you ask me. People still bought cars last year. It’s a hard sell for crossovers with gas engines, much more if it’s over 2M.

Even the Toyota RAV4 is not selling well.

CX30 is the ugly duckling of the kodo family. Huge wheel arches on a lifted hatchback looks awkward af. 1.5M for the base model, its priced not to sell. Just like the Rav4.

No wonder we're seeing so many Ford Territories and Geely Coolrays. Looks, power, and price make for a best seller in the subcompact crossover segment never mind if its from China.

The CX-30 seems ok with me with a dark color, but yeah I'm somewhat in agreement with you here. I'm not a fan of thick plastic trims ljke those found with "sporty" crossovers. Plastic are also a pain in the ass to keep these looking good after 5 years.

The CX-30 is the most expensive at the crossover segment. The are other mass appealing subcompact crossovers that are way more cheaper. At the same price range of the CX-30, the average Pinoy will just go for the safe option like the Innova or the base SUV diesel.

Mazda PH placed themselves at a very difficult situation how to sell their cars in a price conscious Filipino buyers.

2M for the TOTL model is a bit much for a small crossover. You can get the bigger CX5 AWD 2.5G for the same price.

apart from the price (and relatively small size), i wonder why this crossover is quite rare on the roads... i think this is a very good car but i wonder why pinoys are not digging it much.

planning on our next car and currently looking at CX30 Hybrid or Corolla Cross GRS... hybrid crossover is what we are looking at now...

I can still vividly remember my conversation with a coworker who has a family biz buy/sell car. I told her I prefer the Mazda3 over the Toyota Altis and Honda Civic. Driving dynamics, simplicity of the interior controls (physical buttons better than touchscreen), elegant exterior design.

She told me "but Mazda has very low resale value"

To which I said "I don't buy a car for high resale value. It's a long term relationship for me. I buy something because it will meet my daily driving needs, and because I love the car."

Yes, I have an emotional attachment to all the cars my family has owned.

Most cars depreciate value after being sold. Resale value is not a huge factor for me.
