3 Perfect Mazda SUVs for Each Type of Driver

Mazda makes SUVs that combine the energy and innovation that characterize this region of Washington, and if you’re looking for a Mazda dealer near Picnic Point-North Lynnwood that can help you select the perfect model for your day-to-day life, pay us a visit at Lee Johnson Mazda of Seattle. We carry the full Mazda lineup and have an in-depth understanding of every neighborhood in and around Picnic Point-North Lynnwood. We’ll put you behind the wheel of a Mazda SUV that will enhance your daily drives, whether you stay local, commute to Seattle, or explore even further. Here’s a look at three diverse and excellent Mazda SUVs.

#1 - 2024 Mazda CX-30

The CX-30 is Mazda’s subcompact SUV—its smallest option. It boasts car-like dimensions with all-wheel drive capabilities, embodying the spirit of a crossover. Let’s take a look at why it’s so great for Picnic Point-North Lynnwood drivers.

Terrific Fuel Economy

If you make the drive over to the Emerald City for work or fun on a regular basis, then you will appreciate the excellent fuel economy of the CX-30. That daily commute can dip into your gas budget quickly, but with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 29 MPG combined, the 2024 CX-30 won't burn too much gas when cruising on I-5 or tackling the congested streets in downtown Seattle.

Easy-to-Park Dimensions

On the topic of the busy streets of Seattle, if you are tasked with finding a parking spot in the city, you’ll love the small dimensions of the CX-30. It can easily pull into cramped parking spots, so you can spend a little less time circling and trying to find a place for your vehicle. You’ll also appreciate its subcompact dimensions when squeezing your way into small gaps on the road.

Commuter-Friendly Features

The CX-30 also has comfort and convenience features that commuters will love. One of these is the power driver's seat with lumbar support. Get the support your lower back needs on long drives so you arrive at your destination feeling relaxed and energized. Oh, and if a valet messes with your seat settings, the memory function will recall your preferred setup when you start the vehicle. When your meeting in the city is running late, and you want to get into a warm and cozy vehicle, you can use your MyMazda app to start your CX-30 remotely.

Big Tech for a Small Car

For a small SUV, the CX-30 delivers big sound possibilities. That’s thanks to the available 12-speaker Bose sound system. If enjoying concert-quality music in your vehicle is how you get pumped for your day, this surround-sound system is a must-have. Then, there’s the available wireless charging pad. Leave the USB cords at home and keep a clean, airy-feeling dash area while powering up the devices you need to make work calls on the road.

#2 - 2024 Mazda CX-5

The CX-5 is a compact SUV. It gets fuel economy figures almost as good as the CX-30, with just a tiny dip, making it great for commuters and travelers in the Picnic Point-North Lynnwood area. Size-wise, it’s a step up from the CX-30. But it has many other distinctive features. Let’s take a look at what makes it ideal for local drivers.

A Spacious Interior

Drivers looking for seating for five and who want a bit more interior space than the CX-30 can check out the CX-5. It has a larger trunk and passenger area, making it ideal for those who transport adult passengers with a lot of belongings on a regular basis (if you do a lot of pickups at the airport, this is a great SUV).

Solid Towing Figures

For a small SUV, the CX-5 boasts some impressive towing figures. It can pull up to 2,000 lbs behind it. If you want to take a small boat out on Lake Serene or pull a few dirt bikes in a small trailer to take around the park, you can easily do so in the CX-5. Alternatively, if you want to go camping in one of the numerous nearby forests and national or state parks, you can drag a small camping pod behind your CX-5.

Different Modes for Different Roads

The CX-5 has some features that make it clearly right for adventurous and spirited drivers. One of those is the available Mazda Intelligent Driver Select technology. This smart system lets you adjust the driving mode to match road conditions, driving behaviors, and vehicle conditions. One available mode is Off-Road Mode, which gets you the traction and command you need when you abandon paved roads, clearly making the CX-5 a camping-friendly vehicle.

Creature Comforts You Crave

While the CX-5 is ready for rugged adventure, its interior is undeniably refined. There’s an available sliding glass moonroof that lets you take in the sights and fresh air during your excursions. An interior shade lets you block out the sun when it’s coming in too hot. Not only are there available heated front seats, but there are also available heated rear seats, which show how this SUV is designed to keep rear-seat passengers as happy as front-seat ones. With available ventilated front seats, the driver and co-pilot can stay feeling fresh on hot days.

Storage Galore

We can’t discuss the CX-5 without touching on the many, many interior storage compartments. There’s a covered storage bin in the center console (which also has a tray). There are door bottle holders for front and rear seat passengers. The rear seat also gets an armrest with cupholders. Oh, and there are pockets in the front seat backs. There’s a place for every road trip item passengers need to stay comfortable and entertained.

#3 - 2024 Mazda CX-90

This is Mazda’s three-row SUV. When you need seating for eight passengers, like for carpool runs to Lynnwood Elementary School, it’s a terrific choice. Let’s look at what other features set it apart.

Cavernous Cargo

Do you make lots of trips to the local Costco? Then you’ll love the available 75.2 cu.ft. of storage space you can create in the CX-90 with the rear seats down. There’s even extra storage below the cargo floor. This is the perfect spot for valuables you want to store out of sight from prying eyes. It’s also handy when you pack more stuff than you realize and the main cargo area is full.

Easy Trunk Access

When you’ve got a toddler in one arm and groceries in the other, you have no hands left to open the trunk. No problem—there’s a hands-free power liftgate available. It will sense your keyfob on your body. Then, just make a swift kicking motion beneath the bumper, and the trunk will automatically open. Plus, you can program it to open to your desired height. If you park in a low garage or carport, you can ensure the trunk door doesn’t scrape the ceiling.

There’s a Plug-In Hybrid Variant

Going for a three-row SUV doesn’t have to mean sacrificing fuel economy. The CX-90 is available in a PHEV variant. You can enjoy improved fuel economy and all-electric range, saving money on fuel that you can set aside to send a kid to the University of Washington. Plus, you can do your part to contribute a little less pollution, keeping the air near Puget Sound clean for everyone to enjoy.
