Debuting for the 2022 model year as Mazda’s first all-electric vehicle, the MX-30 crossover is back for 2023. Just like last year, the MX-30 EV is only available in California. The MX-30 is a carryover from its first iteration with a nominal price bump.
Positioned as a car designed for urban driving, the MX-30 has an EPA-estimated range of a mere 100 miles on a full charge generated from its 35.5 kWh battery. The standard front-mounted electric motor produces 143 horsepower and 200 pounds-feet of torque.
A unique feature of MX-30 is the “freestyle” doors, which when the front doors are opened reveal a latch to access the rear doors and allow entry to the back seats.
What’s New
All specs, styling, features, and trim levels carry over from previous model year.
Model Features
The MX-30’s interior features a floating center console with cork accents. This floating design allows for additional storage space, which includes two standard USB audio inputs and 150W AC power outlet.
Electric G-Vectoring Control Plus (e-GVC Plus), standard, uses electric motor torque adjustments to control vehicle load and help provide natural and consistent handling.
Steering wheel paddles, also standard, allow the driver to adjust the level of regenerative braking to what feels comfortable based on the driving situation.
Comes with an eight-year or 100,000-mile warranty.
Also comes with three-year complimentary Mazda Connected Services to remotely monitor and control the MX-30 through the MyMazda App, including remote start-stop charging, door lock, battery levels check, and climate control sets.
Premium Plus adds Bose 12-speaker premium audio, heated steering wheel, 360° View Monitor with front parking sensors, and Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, as well as i-Activsense safety features including Blind Spot Assist and Front Cross Traffic Alert.
