MAZDA MX 30 ELECTRIC - REVIEWING THE FIRST EVER FULLY ELECTRIC MAZDA

EV Channels Review

Mazda's first main production electric vehicle, the MX-30, is reviewed, highlighting its unique design elements and sustainable materials. The reviewer praises the interior quality, the blend of digital and analog displays, and the innovative use of cork. However, the 'suicide doors' are noted as a significant practicality issue, particularly for rear-seat access and loading. While the driving experience is generally positive, with well-tuned steering and an engaging regenerative braking system, the vehicle's Achilles' heel is its limited rear-seat space and the overall practicality, suggesting it's best suited for individuals or couples. The real-world range is estimated around 200 km (125 miles), falling short of expectations for many EV buyers. The reviewer concludes that while the MX-30 is a stylish and well-built car with a focus on sustainability, its compromises in practicality and range may limit its appeal.
