Video Summary
- The Mazda MX-30 is priced similarly to a Mini Electric or Honda E, but it is larger.- It's more practical for a family and has a decent-sized boot.
- The rear doors are cool, but can be a bit gimmicky and can be more awkward than a conventional car. The seatbelt for the front passenger is attached to the back door and the rear windows are non-opening portholes.
- While the back seat might be cramped for some, there is enough space.
- There is enough unused space under the hood, which makes it seem poorly packaged, but could be used for storing cables or luggage.
- The 35.5 kWh battery is right-sized, so it's cheaper and lighter.
- The Summer range is around 120 miles, but the Winter range drops below 100.
- 30kW rapid charge speeds mean longer charging times.
- There are charging-capacity warning bongs that start around 25%.
- The cork trim feels nice.
- The air conditioning touchscreen has very little lag.
- Random unexplainable "bongs" can be irritating.
- It feels lighter to drive than most electric cars and has a good turning circle.
Overall, if the characteristics fit your lifestyle, the MX-30 can be a good choice for some people.
