The Mazda MX-30 is an electric and hybrid compact crossover SUV produced by Mazda.[2] Based on the CX-30, it was unveiled at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show.[3] Production of the vehicle, which is Mazda's first mass-produced electric car, began at its Ujina factory on 19 May 2020.[4]

The MX-30 is expected to be sold in Japan in the second half of 2020,[5] and is slated to go on sale in the United Kingdom in early 2021.[6]

Design

The MX-30 features clamshell doors, referred to as "freestyle doors" by Mazda and previously seen on their rotary-engined RX-8 sports car.[7][8] It utilizes MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension.[9]

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).[10] Up to 80% charge can be achieved within 30 to 40 minutes via 50 kW DC charging. With a 22 kW AC charging unit, the MX-30 is claimed to get fully recharged within 4.5 hours.[11]

gollark: Laws being ignored reduces the stability and predictability of the legal system and adds room for discretion, which is bad.

gollark: Having better laws is better than randomly dropping laws when inconvenient.

gollark: Like the "online safety bill" and whatever policing things people are angry about here.

gollark: Yeeees, it seems like the particularly totalitarian stuff just gets shoved through without COVID-19 being hugely related.

gollark: But that seems inaccurate because politicians also probably look good/bad if they do well/badly against COVID-19 regardless.
