Mazda’s new MX-30 Electric is one cool car! The exterior design is fun, exuding a zest for life and true zooming ability. The latest little Mazda MX-30 Electric could easily be seen as the perfect choice as a trendy electric city car.
At 4395 mm long and 1795 mm wide, the new Mazda MX-30 isn’t a big, cumbersome vehicle. It’s been designed with city commuting in mind, and, when you look at the 2022 Mazda MX-30 design print, it is a small and compact SUV. The exterior of the little Mazda MX-30 Electric is cute; and it’s not easy to make an SUV outline as adorable as this. Mazda have done a great job at bringing a bit of the MX-5 and RX-8 energy into the MX-30 design and then prettying it up somewhat so that it has those cute curves and baby face looks. You also get rear doors that open forwards, just like in the RX-8. In everyday life, these suicide doors work well and offer decent access into the rear seats. The high and flared wheel arches make the MX-30 look taller and larger than it is, while the high waistline and low roofline give the car spunk and plenty of sass. You can get the Mazda MX-30 Electric with a roof in a different colour/tone to the body colour, which is a winning statement in style, and Mazda also offer some very cool alloy designs.
Because fashion and looks say so much about you, this little Mazda keeps things looking fresh and exciting inside the car as well. Boasting a nice range of interior upholsteries and trims, along with a unique interior style and elegant dash design, the 2022 Mazda MX-30 Electric is a winning formula. Those on the lookout for a small city EV with a difference need to take a look at the MX-30. Be prepared to be wowed.
The cabin is nicely laid out, typical of Mazda; so, everything works ergonomically. It expresses itself as a stylish, fun interior that looks like it’s the perfect car for taking your friends out for a latte or out for a fun night on the town. The cloth seats in the MX-30 Electric are gorgeous, and they come in stunning patterns with a vivid zing of a light orange accent at the seam, which sets off nicely against the grey/black fleck material. You’ll find the quality of craftsmanship inside the MX-30 cabins are superb, and there are plenty of soft touch surfaces and a light sprinkling of chrome trim to give this little city car class honours.
The Mazda MX-30 boasts a small range of hybrid variants and then the one electric. The Mazda MX-30 E35 Astina is the all-electric model. Having a full charge range nearing 200 km and 107 kW, this is an ideal city commuter where you can plug in at home or work and top it up for the next day-or-two’s travel.
All the nice modern features are standard on the Astina, so things like LED automatic headlights, LED daytime running lamps, high beam auto dipping, rain sensoring wipers, electric folding mirrors, an aux input, a USB socket, an input for an iPod, an MP3 decoder, Bluetooth connections, a multi-function control touchscreen, DAB radio, an 8-speaker stereo, bottle holders front and rear, a cargo area organiser/shelving/divider, 2-zone climate control, cup holders, distance control, keyless start and key/fob proximity, a starter button, map/reading lamps, a pollen filter, storage in centre console, a sunglasses holder, vanity mirrors for drone seat occupants, a digital clock, a partial digital instrument display, GPS satellite navigation, speed zone reminder and road sign recognition, a trip computer and a tyre pressure monitoring system are all there. Even things like a higher grade interior, a key fob proximity feature, anti-glare mirrors, auto dipping mirrors, electric mirrors, electronic front seats, and a bit more leather about the cabin makes its way inside.
Because the electric version of the new Mazda MX-30 gets the flagship Astina badge, you also get to enjoy front and rear parking distance control, a full 360 degree camera display, shadowing headlights, heated leather seats, and a 12-speaker sound system. The MX-35 Astina electric also boasts three more exterior colours, which includes a nice cherry red. You can also get the Astina with optional paint jobs that include: 3-Tone Paint – Ceramic Metallic with black roof and grey pillars (approx.. $995), 3-Tone Paint – Polymetal Grey Metallic with black roof and silver pillars (approx. $1,490) and 3-Tone Paint – Soul Red Crystal Metallic with black roof and grey pillars (approx. $1,490)
The new Mazda MX-30 Electric SUV is really a raised FWD hatchback but there is credit in this. The car gets the full five stars in the ANCAP safety ratings, so things like 10 airbags, ABS, brake assist, seat belt load limiters and pre-tensioners, electronic stability control, traction control, alert/warning – collision forward, blind spot sensors, brake emergency display – hazard/stoplights, collision mitigation – reversing with braking, collision warning – rearward, control – crash avoidance with braking (high spd), control – crash avoidance with braking (low spd), control – pedestrian avoidance with braking, cross traffic alert – rear, lane departure warning, lane keeping – active assist, parking assistance – graphical display, warning – driver fatigue, active yaw, EBD (electronic brake force distribution) and a hill hold feature are standard. The Astina adds front, rear and side cameras. It also has front and rear parking distance control, Driver Attention Detection and an electric engine immobiliser.
Out on the road the little MX-30 E35 Astina electric handles nicely, rides well, and feels spirited, quiet and fun to drive. About town it feels very modern. With an NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) accredited range of 224 km, the MX-30 EV is very much an urban vehicle. It’s a five-door, where the rear-hinged doors give pillar-less access to the back, in cool-as RX-8 fashion. The kids will love that! You also get a normal hatchback lid, which allows versatile loading abilities.
It might be time to make the move to electric, particularly if you live in a city environment.
