Overview
The Mazda MX-30 Electric is Mazda's quirky and stylish first stab at a full EV, a compact SUV designed with city slickers in mind. It stands out with its funky "freestyle" doors and a cabin decked out in cool, sustainable materials. This isn't your long-range road-tripper, but a characterful urban runabout. With new prices around €35,990 and used examples dipping to €13,000, it offers a unique entry into electric motoring. Its focus is clearly on design and a refined, typically Mazda driving experience for shorter hops.
What's New for 2025?
For 2025, the MX-30 Electric largely continues to charm with its established package, meaning if you loved it before, you'll love it now! Mazda seems to be focusing its MX-30 development on the R-EV range-extender variant, so the pure electric model rolls into the new year without any massive shake-ups or groundbreaking feature additions. It’s a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" for this distinctive urban EV. Expect the same cool design, sustainable interior, and city-friendly performance.
Design & Exterior
Phwoar, check out those doors! The MX-30 Electric screams unique with its Kodo design language, giving it a sleek, coupe-SUV silhouette and those party-piece pillarless "freestyle" rear-hinged doors. It’s a proper head-turner! Standard LED lighting brightens the path, while the specific alloy wheels for this Electric trim add to its urban chic. Dimension-wise, it measures 4395 mm in length, 1795 mm in width (mirrors tucked in!), and stands 1555 mm tall, making it a nimble machine for tight city streets.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
Step inside the MX-30 Electric and you’re greeted by a refreshingly minimalist cabin, championing sustainable materials like cork and recycled fabrics – very zen! Upfront, it’s comfy, though those freestyle doors mean rear access is a bit quirky and space is best for kids. Cargo-wise, you get a decent 366 litres in the boot, expanding to 1171 litres with the seats flopped down. Sadly, no frunk here. Tech includes Mazda’s intuitive infotainment system with a crisp screen, plus standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to keep you connected.
Performance & Driving Experience
Don't expect warp speed, but the MX-30 Electric scoots from 0-100 km/h in a respectable 9.7 seconds – nippy enough for city dashes! Its single PMSM motor sends 107 kW and a handy 271 Nm of torque to the front wheels (FWD). True to Mazda form, it’s rather fun to pilot, with well-judged steering and a smooth, quiet ride. It feels agile and composed, making urban jaunts a pleasure. You also get adjustable regenerative braking via steering wheel paddles, letting you fine-tune your energy recovery game.
Range, Battery & Charging
The MX-30 Electric sports a 30 kWh usable battery, which, according to Green Cars Compare's real-world estimates, delivers around 161 km of range – ideal for city commutes rather than cross-country epics. Its efficiency is rated at 5.37 km/kWh. For top-ups, it supports 11 kW AC charging via its CCS Type 2 port, meaning a full charge takes around 3-4 hours. Hook it up to a DC fast charger, and it’ll slurp power at up to 50 kW, juicing it up pretty quickly for a smaller battery.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
Mazda doesn't skimp on safety, and the MX-30 Electric proudly wears a top-notch 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. You get a solid suite of i-Activsense driver aids as standard on this Electric trim. This typically includes essentials like autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and radar cruise control to take the stress out of daily driving. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are also usually part of the package, making this urban warrior a reassuringly safe choice.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
Mazda generally backs the MX-30 Electric with a solid warranty package in Europe. Expect a comprehensive vehicle warranty typically around 3 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first. Crucially, the high-voltage battery gets its own longer coverage, usually 8 years or 160,000 km, with a guarantee against excessive degradation. Powertrain components share similar robust coverage. While major complimentary maintenance plans aren't common, Mazda’s reputation for reliability means ownership should be relatively fuss-free, with EVs requiring less routine servicing anyway.
