The model
Read full Mazda MX-30 reviewThe Mazda MX-30 is pleasing to drive, well equipped and has a smart interior. However, it’s very cramped in the back and the fully electric version’s tiny range makes it difficult to recommend to anyone planning to venture out of town; the MX-30 R-EV will suit them better.
The trim
See full equipmentOur favourite trim provides plenty of kit, including an 8.8in infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a head-up display, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera.
The engine
See full engine specsThe only option is a 36kWh battery powering an electric motor, which offers tepid acceleration (0-62mph in 9.7sec) and one of the worst battery ranges of any current EV: 124 miles (WLTP). A range extender – with a small petrol engine that charges up the battery as you go along – will join the line-up soon.
