The Japanese brand's first electric car, the Mazda MX-30 promises 200 kilometers of range on a single charge in its 100% electric version. Since January 2023, the MX-30 has been available in the e-Skyactiv R-EV version which features a rotary engine as a range extender.
Design of the Mazda MX-30
The electric equivalent of the X-30, the Mazda MX-30 is distinguished by its partly solid grille and its opposing rear doors which open in the opposite direction of travel. 4,395 m long, 1,795 m wide and 1,570 m high, Mazda's electric SUV can accommodate up to 5 occupants.
Inside, the MX-30 incorporates the brand's DNA while using eco-responsible materials, notably replacing most of the real leather with a leather-effect alternative. Cork was also used for the central console.
Engine and performance of the Mazda MX-30
Asynchronous, the MX-30 motor is based on a new technology called e-SKYACTIV.
At this stage, the manufacturer does not provide further details on the characteristics and performances of this engine.
Mazda MX-30 battery and range
Without going into overkill with the “big battery”, this first electric car from Mazda makes do with a 35.5 kWh lithium-ion pack. Made up of prismatic cells, it offers a range of around 200 kilometers.
In the e-Skyactiv R-EV version, which has a thermal engine as a range extender, the 17.8 kWh lithium-ion battery allows you to travel up to 85 km on a charge. The thermal engine has a 50 liter fuel tank, which brings the range to around 600 km.
Charging the MX-30
Equipped with a 6.6 kW on-board charger, the Mazda MX-30 can be recharged in around six hours using a wallbox. On a domestic outlet, you will need around 14 hours for a full charge.
Also equipped with a Combo connector, the Mazda MX-30 can access fast charging stations. Unfortunately, the maximum tolerated power has not been specified by the manufacturer.
