Not only is the MX-30 an all-new model for Mazda, it marks the first time the Japanese automaker has experimented with an all-electric powertrain. It's similarly sized to the current CX-30 crossover, but borrows the MX nomenclature of the MX-5 Miata, giving us hope that a performance-oriented variant will eventually join the lineup.
The MX-30 will be offered in base an Premium Plus trims when it first hits the market, but its prices are higher than mainstream rivals such as the Chevrolet Bolt and the Nissan Leaf. The Premium Plus model adds a lot of equipment, including active blind-spot assist, front cross-traffic alert, a 12-speaker Bose stereo system, a heated steering wheel, a 360-degree exterior camera system, and more.
The all-electric MX-30 will have one 143-hp electric motor that will drive the front wheels; all-wheel drive isn't available. However, we've also learned that there will be a plug-in-hybrid version that'll pair an electric motor with a rotary gasoline engine, so perhaps all-wheel drive is still on the table. Despite the seemingly low horsepower rating, the MX-30 should still delivery decent low-speed acceleration, but those seeking outright speed may find rivals such as the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Mini Cooper Electric offer more power.
The MX-30's cabin uses natural and sustainable materials such as cork and breathable fabric upholstery made from recycled plastic bottles. Front-seat space looks like it will easily fit two adult Americans, but the rear seat appears to be far more cramped, both in head- and legroom. A floating center console is right on trend and frees up space for storage behind a digitized screen that adjusts the car's climate-control system. Mazda is offering a host of desirable features as standard on the MX-30, including heated front seats, a 7.0-inch digital gauge display, a power sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and more. We're not sure how much cargo space will be available behind the MX-30's rear seats, but if the similarly sized CX-3 is anything to go by, Costco runs may require folding the rear seats flat.
