Hi guys. Has anyone noticed how quickly the new Mazda CX-30 warms up? Is this normal?
Thanks

I read somewhere that Mazda "Skyactiv" GDI engines run a bit hotter by design to help some in slowing down the carbon sludge buildup that pure GDI engines are known for (& will need professional cleaning for at some point). That is why some automakers have opted for combo port + direct injection engine designs instead these days (you need at least some port injection for the additives in top tier gasoline brands to hit every part of the engine needed to prevent carbon build-up - something 100% direct-injection engines don't do).

Mine warms up very SLOWLY. When the outside temperature is below 40F, I don't get warm air from the HVAC for 12-14 minutes. The dealer says this is normal. (I don't agree. My old Jeep warms up in 5 minutes.) I'm glad I opted for heated seats and heated steering wheel.

Pretty vague comment.
Define quickly?
Outside air temp?
Method of warmup?
Location of engine temperature gauge needle at various times during warm up?
Final resting point of needle on gauge once warmed up?

See my point?
These will be the same questions your dealers service department will ask if you take the vehicle in.

Yes I see your point. Just used to driving an old school Subaru Outback 2011 which I even had to put a block heater in for the -15 to 20 celcius temps. here
Rarely get -40 unless it is a windchill in Central Ontario. I am relieved to hear of the GDI Skyactive engines run hotter. The gauge needle did not get over the middle marker where it is normal
so just a worry wort. I only have 70 kms on it city driving haven't taken it out on a hiway run yet. But so much happier to hear from youse about this.
