Mazda is sprucing up the 3 hatchback and sedan along with the CX-30 and CX-5 crossover for the 2024 model year by giving all four vehicles a Carbon Turbo variant. A follow-up to the Carbon Edition, the new variant brings an assortment of glossy black exterior accents and combines them with a fresh coat of paint. Zircon Sand Metallic was originally introduced in late 2021 on the CX-50 before the MX-5 Miata received the beige-gray shade last year.
The paint job is nicely contrasted by the shiny black front grille, side mirror caps, and alloy wheels. Inside, Mazda combines terracotta, black suede, and gunmetal accents to create what it describes as a "timeless feel that still appeals to the modern world." While the Carbon Turbo doesn’t actually have any carbon fiber as its name would imply, the vehicles do feature a turbocharged gasoline engine.
