Mazda MX-30

Mazda’s first battery electric production car, the highly anticipated Mazda MX-30 is a versatile crossover EV with a 35.5kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers a range of 124miles. It comes with AC charging up to 6.6kW and DC rapid charging designed to meet 125A Combo Charging standards.

Inside, the lower console incorporates a 7-inch colour touch-screen air conditioning control panel complemented by cork lined centre console trays and inner side door handles. The sense of space is further enhanced with a floating centre console that sits independently from the dashboard, while the use of environmentally-friendly materials has been carefully matched to meticulous quality and finish.

Early adopters of the Mazda MX-30 First Edition models registered by 31st March 2021 received the offer of a free home wall box charger with standard installation. Initially available with a choice of free-of-charge Ceramic Metallic or Polymetal Grey Metallic single colours, the First Edition was also sold with either three-tone Ceramic Metallic or three-tone Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint. Other standard equipment highlights on the First Edition include adaptive LED headlights, satin D pillar trim and signature LED rear lights. Inside, the First Edition features light grey cloth and stone leatherette combined with orange seat stitching. An eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat and chrome interior details, plus heated front seats round out the interior style.

Following the launch edition are three equipped model grades – SE-L Lux, Sport Lux and GT Sport Tech. Standard equipment on all UK MX-30s includes LED headlights with daytime running lights, reversing camera, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Intelligent Speed Assist, navigation and head-up display. Each MX-30 comes as standard with a Type 2 AC charging cable and a socket for 50kW rapid charging, which can in just 36 minutes deliver up to 80 per cent battery charge.

The range starts with the Mazda MX-30 SE-L Lux. Marked out by 18-inch Silver Metallic alloy wheels, black door mirrors and a black grille, it’s exclusively offered in a single tone paint design with a choice of five colours.

The slightly more expensive MX-30 Sport Lux features 18-inch Bright Metallic alloy wheels and sees an increase in standard equipment with the addition of power seats, lumber support adjustment and smart keyless entry. Like the First Edition, there’s the option to choose the optional three-tone design on Soul Red Crystal or Ceramic Metallic main body colours.

The range-topping GT Sport Tech comes with a light grey cloth interior trim or optional dark grey interior and brown artificial leather. Equipment extends to a front wiper de-icer and a power and tilt sunroof, while inside a heated steering wheel and 12-speaker Bose surround sound upgrade further the standard specification.
