A NEW MAZDA MX-30 OR A USED BMW I3S - WHERE SHOULD YOU PUT YOUR MONEY?

EV Channels Review

This head-to-head comparison between a new Mazda MX-30 and a used BMW i3s highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each electric vehicle. The reviewer praises the BMW i3s for its timeless, innovative design, engaging driving dynamics, and premium interior crafted from sustainable materials, deeming it a future design classic. However, its drawbacks include a firm ride on the 's' model, limited boot space, and slower charging speeds. The Mazda MX-30 impresses with its stylish crossover design, well-appointed interior featuring unique sustainable materials, and a more practical boot. Its main Achilles' heel is its significantly limited range (around 100 miles in reality) and less potent performance compared to the i3s. Despite the Mazda's lower price point for a new vehicle, the reviewer ultimately leans towards the used BMW i3s for its superior driving experience, innovative spirit, and perceived long-term appeal, while acknowledging the Mazda as a strong contender for those prioritizing a new car feel and a more practical, albeit limited-range, option.
