All-New 2022 Mazda MX 30 EV Compact SUV Introducing https://youtu.be/t3_iYuXuN_4
2022 Mazda MX-30, a battery-electric compact crossover designed for the city and due at dealerships in October
The MX-30 is closely related to the CX-30 crossover and features a battery with a capacity of just 35.5 kilowatt-hours, which Mazda estimates will deliver 100 miles on a charge. That's poor, and the performance of the powertrain isn't any better. The MX-30 features a single electric motor powering the front axle, rated at only 144 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque.
For longer drives, Mazda said an extended-range version will eventually be offered, where the range extender will be a small rotary engine. The rotary will be used purely to charge the battery, a setup known as a series hybrid. Interestingly, Mazda also sells a more conventional plug-in hybrid MX-30 with a 2.0-liter inline-4 in some markets, though this version isn't expected to reach the U.S.
The rotary-equipped version is on track to arrive in 2022 as a 2023 model, and its arrival will mark the return of a rotary engine in a production car for the first time since the demise of the Mazda RX-8 sports car early last decade. It isn't clear if this particular version will be offered in more states, or just California.
