Mazda's design ethos ensures that its interiors are uncluttered and clean looking. This means despite its compact proportions, it feels like there is plenty of space in the car. There's height and reach adjustment to the steering wheel, and a clear head-up display that shows on the windscreen too. Front visibility is good, but rear isn't great because of the sloping roofline.
That sloping roofline doesn't eat into rear headroom too much though, and passengers over six feet tall won't feel too claustrophobic in the back.
The boot holds 430-litres, more than a Volkswagen T-Roc but a fair bit less than the slightly larger Audi Q3. It's big enough to hold a buggy and a couple of plush carry-on bags, but not much else. There's also an optional electrical tailgate.
