Mazda MX-30 (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Classy and unusual looks	Fairly short range
Handles well and rides comfortably	Awkward rear-hinged back doors
Low running costs	Smaller-than-average rear seats

Quick Summary

The Mazda MX-30 is a distinctive hatchback-SUV crossover offered as a pure electric model with a 124-mile range or a range extender (R-EV) boosting total range to 380 miles. Its unique, quirky-but-classy exterior and smart interior with retro-inspired cork inserts set it apart. While not the fastest EV, it aims to attract buyers with its style. Despite being similar in size to a Ford Focus, rear legroom is limited due to its unusual design with rear-hinged back doors, which also present accessibility challenges in narrow spaces. The 366-litre boot is practical, though it lacks underfloor cable storage.

The MX-30 offers a peachy and fluid driving experience with light, precise steering and a comfortable ride, making it enjoyable in various settings. Equipment levels are generous, even on base models, including touchscreens, advanced safety features, and a user-friendly infotainment system. Running costs are competitive, especially with smart overnight charging, but depreciation has been a significant factor for new pure EV models, making used examples a bargain. Service intervals are 12,500 miles or 12 months, and insurance costs are comparable to a family hatchback.

Best for: Drivers seeking a compact, stylish, and fun electric car with a unique design, who don't mind a shorter range, or those looking for a bargain on the used market (especially for the R-EV).

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum electric range, abundant rear passenger space, or conventional door practicality.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the MX-30 if: You're after a compact, stylish, and fun electric car with a unique design, who don't mind a shorter range, or those looking for a bargain on the used market (especially for the R-EV).

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum electric range, abundant rear passenger space, or conventional door practicality.

Competitive Position: The Mazda MX-30 occupies a unique space in the crowded EV market, offering distinctive style and a fun driving experience that rivals like the Nissan Leaf or MG ZS EV cannot match. While its pure EV range is limited and rear practicality is compromised, the R-EV model extends its usability. Its significant depreciation as a new car translates into excellent value on the used market. It appeals to buyers seeking a compact, characterful electric crossover who value design and driving dynamics over maximum range or conventional practicality.
