The Mazda MX-30 is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Mazda and sold as a battery electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or mild hybrid (MHEV) variant.[3] Based on the CX-30, it was unveiled at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show.[4] Production of the vehicle, which is Mazda's first mass-produced electric car, began at their Ujina factory on 19 May 2020.[5]
Mazda is one of the first and only automakers currently producing a Wankel engine with a rotary piston, it was last delivered in the Mazda RX-8 and is sold in the Mazda MX-30 since October 2023.[6] It works as a generator and increases range with the support of an electric motor electric motor.
Overview
The MX-30 features clamshell doors, referred to as "freestyle doors" by Mazda and previously seen on their rotary-engined RX-8 sports car.[7][8] It uses MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension.[9]
The MX-30 is powered by an electric motor supported by a 35.5 kWh battery with a power output of 105 kW (141 hp; 143 PS) and 264 N⋅m (195 lbf⋅ft) torque, offering a range of 209 km (130 mi).[10] Up to 80% charge can be achieved within 30 to 40 minutes via 40 kW DC charging. With a 6.6 kW AC (1 phase, 230V, 29A) charging unit, the MX-30 is claimed to get fully recharged within 4.5 hours.[11]
The plug-in hybrid variant was presented on 14 January 2023.[2] Its drivetrain operates in series, featuring a rotary engine that acts as a range extender to recharge the batteries, but not to power the vehicle's wheels directly.[12] The Wankel engine is a naturally aspirated single-rotor unit with a chamber volume of 830 cc, petrol direct injection, exhaust gas recirculation, a three-way catalyst and a particulate filter. Its rated power output is 55 kW (75 PS; 74 hp).[2] In Japan, Australia and New Zealand, a gasoline-powered all-wheel-drive mild hybrid version is also available. This version is powered by Mazda's 2.0 L e-Skyactiv-G four-cylinder engine.[13]
Markets
The all-electric MX-30 went on sale in Japan and Europe in the fall of 2020.[14] In the United Kingdom, it is slated to go on sale in early 2021.[15] The EV model will go on sale in California in fall 2021, with the plug-in hybrid model coming later.[16] However, in July 2023 it was announced that the model would discontinue in the US market following the 2023 model, but will still sell the vehicle in Japan and Europe.[17][18]
Sales
In the US, Mazda has sold 116 MX-30 EVs in 2021, 324 in 2022 and 66 in the first half of 2023.[17][18]
Safety
The Mazda MX-30 received a 5-star rating by the Euro NCAP in 2020. It was also the first car to achieve a maximum rating under the new Euro NCAP criteria.[19]

Awards and reviews
The MX-30 made the 10 Best List of the 2020-2021 Car of the Year Japan Awards.[21] It also won the 2020 Red Dot Design Award in the Electric Vehicle category.[22][23]
Nonprofit consumer organisation Consumer Reports stated, "With such a small battery, the EPA-estimated range is a scant 100 miles. That would have been competitive a decade ago, but it's not in today's EV market." CR called it a "strange little car" and found the vehicle noisy but applauded fit and finish and said it was "a fun little handler."[24]
