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]
