Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review of the Mazda MX-30:- Used electric cars have dropped in price, offering potential bargains.
- The Mazda MX-30 is an intriguing prospect.
- An early MX-30 (late 2020) with low mileage can be found for under $14,000.
- The MX-30 has a 35.5-kilowatt-hour battery, giving an official range of 124 miles, and a real-world range between 90 to 110 miles.
- The reason for the lower price is a shorter range.
- Mazda's reasoning is that batteries are resource-heavy to produce, and many motorists do not need a longer range.
- The MX-30 is more practical than smaller rivals like the Honda E and Renault Zoe.
- The MX-30 has a 366-liter boot.
- The rear-hinged back doors are unhelpful when trying to get kids out of the car.
- Legroom in the back is a bit tight, but there is enough headroom.
- The interior is mostly about the textiles and finish, which feels classy and interesting.
- Every MX-30 comes with a color screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Sat Nav.
- The infotainment system is easy to use.
- It is not fast, 0 to 62 mph in 9.2 seconds.
- On the road, even at motorway speeds, it feels more than fast enough.
- The car is comfortable.
- All driver controls are pleasant.
- The battery health should be checked.
- It charges at 50 kW, offering an 80% charge in 30 minutes.
- Charging at home takes about 6 hours for a full charge from a 7-kW home charger.
- The i3 may offer a better value.
