Mazda MX-30
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. Based on the CX-30, it was unveiled at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. Production of the vehicle, which is Mazda's first mass-produced electric car, began at their Ujina factory on 19 May 2020.
The plug-in hybrid variant uses a drivetrain operating in series, with a rotary engine acting as a range extender to the batteries. As one of the first automakers to successfully manufacture and market a Wankel rotary engine, Mazda built the engines longer than anyone else, with their last example installed in the Mazda RX-8. It's also Mazda's first rotary-engined front-wheel-drive car since the Luce R130.
The MX-30 features clamshell doors, marketed as freestyle doors by Mazda and previously used on the rotary-engined RX-8 sports car. It uses MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension.
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). 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.
The plug-in hybrid variant was presented on 14 January 2023. 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. 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). 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.
The MX-30 EV was launched in Indonesia on 11 November 2024, in a sole variant.
The MX-30 went on sale in Japan on 8 October 2020, in a sole grade with four combination packages available. At launch, a 100th Anniversary Special Commemorative Vehicle special edition variant was available, to commemorate the 100th anniversary since the founding as its predecessor Toyo Cork Kogyo Company, Limited in 1920. The e-Skyactiv-G M Hybrid powertrain was marketed first, as it was easy option for many consumers and battery electric vehicles were not high selling compared to hybrid electric vehicles.
In January 2021, the MX-30 EV was released in Japan with three trim levels available at launch: EV, EV Basic Set, and EV Highest Set.
