2026 CX-30 2.5 S Aire Edition
Quick Answer: 2026 Mazda CX-30 2.5 S Aire Edition
The Aire Edition is a special-edition trim at $30,250 MSRP built on the Select Sport/Preferred feature base, distinguished by white leatherette-trimmed seats with gray textile inserts, black exterior trim on the roof rails and badging, and a wireless phone charger. It comes in a limited five-color exterior palette — Aero Gray, Snowflake White Pearl, Ceramic Metallic, Deep Crystal Blue, and Jet Black — rather than the full CX-30 color range. Mechanically it's still the 186-hp naturally aspirated engine with standard AWD; the Aire Edition is about the look, not the powertrain (that comes with the Turbo Aire Edition, one step up in name only).
A styling special edition, not a strict feature upgrade
It's worth being precise about what the Aire Edition actually is: a special-edition trim built off the Select Sport and Preferred equipment base, not a straightforward step up the ladder with everything from Preferred included by default. Mazda's own build-and-price structure treats it as its own configuration, so a buyer comparing it against the Preferred should confirm the exact feature set on a specific in-stock vehicle rather than assuming a strict superset. What's consistently included: white leatherette seating with gray textile inserts and trim, black exterior accents replacing the usual chrome-toned pieces, and a wireless charging pad.
The engine, AWD system, and EPA rating (24 city / 31 highway / 27 combined) match every other naturally aspirated CX-30 trim.
The color trade-off
Choosing the Aire Edition means choosing from five colors instead of the CX-30's full palette: Aero Gray Metallic, Snowflake White Pearl Mica, Ceramic Metallic, Deep Crystal Blue Mica, and Jet Black Mica. If a specific color outside that list matters more to you than the white-leatherette look, the Preferred or Premium give you the broader color range Mazda offers elsewhere in the lineup.
What Green Brook buyers say
Drew Pink, who bought a CX-30 at Empire, described exactly the kind of smooth process that makes choosing a special-edition trim easier: "I bought a 2024 CX-30 and had a great dealer and support that made the experience nice. Justin was great and helped make the process quick and easy. Didn't have any delays or issues with the car buying process." That kind of no-friction process matters more on a limited-configuration trim like the Aire Edition, where confirming exact equipment before signing is worth the extra conversation.
Frequently asked questions
What makes the Aire Edition different from the Preferred?
White leatherette seats with gray textile inserts, black exterior trim, and a wireless phone charger, in a five-color limited palette — built on the Select Sport/Preferred feature base rather than a strict superset of Preferred's equipment. Confirm the exact configuration on a specific vehicle before comparing line-by-line.
Is the Aire Edition turbocharged?
No — the Aire Edition runs the same 186-hp naturally aspirated engine as the Select Sport and Preferred. The Turbo Aire Edition, a separate trim, is the one with the turbocharged engine.
How many colors does the Aire Edition come in?
Five: Aero Gray Metallic, Snowflake White Pearl Mica, Ceramic Metallic, Deep Crystal Blue Mica, and Jet Black Mica — a limited palette compared to the rest of the CX-30 lineup.

The bottom line
The Aire Edition is for a buyer who wants a distinct look — the white leatherette and black trim stand out on the lot — without paying for the Premium's full equipment jump or committing to the Turbo. Confirm the exact spec on the specific vehicle you're looking at, since it isn't a simple Preferred-plus configuration.
