It's being reported that the CX-30 will only come with one engine option when it arrives in the US.

In Europe, three engine options will be available, including a 2.0-liter inline-four gasoline and a 1.8-liter diesel. US engine options haven't been confirmed, but Autonews Mexico reports the CX-30 will arrive in Mexico this November with only one engine option: a SkyActiv-G 2.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine with 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque.

The 2020 Mazda CX-30 will be exported to the US and Canada from Mazda's Salamanca plant in Mexico, so it would make sense for the 2.5-liter engine to be offered in these markets as well. The 2020 Mazda3 sedan, which is built at the same plant in Salamanca, is also only offered with a 2.5-liter engine in the US.

According to Autonews Mexico, the CX-30 will be available with two trim levels including the i Sport 2WD and i Grand Touring 2WD. Yes, you read that right, there won't be an all-wheel-drive version of the 2020 Mazda CX-30 when it launches in Mexico, despite AWD being an available option in Europe on all CX-30 models. We'll have to wait and see if the AWD version will be available in the US.

Its enough for launch and the first year but Mazda will need another eventually.

It looks like that will be changing, at least for the American CX-30s.

According to a CARB document detailing emissions certifications, the CX-30 is listed as having a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic transmission, or a 2.0-liter four with either the automatic or a six-speed manual. In the United States, only the 2.5-liter is offered for the Mazda3, producing 186 horsepower (139 kilowatts) for either the sedan or hatchback. The smaller 2.0-liter makes 148 hp (110 kilowatts) is available in the CX-3, however, which slots below the CX-30 in Mazda’s crossover lineup.
