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 (2020-present) is a stylish hatchback-SUV crossover offered as a pure electric car or a unique range-extender (R-EV) with a rotary engine. The full EV has a modest 124-mile official range, while the R-EV offers around 50 electric miles and a total of 380 miles with the engine. Its standout features are its quirky exterior design, including rear-hinged back doors, and a high-quality, sustainably-sourced interior with distinctive cork details.

While not the most practical choice due to its tight rear seats and awkward doors, the MX-30 is enjoyable to drive, with a comfortable ride and responsive handling. Equipment levels are generous across the range. The pure EV's limited range and significant initial depreciation make it a compelling used bargain. The R-EV model broadens its appeal by eliminating range anxiety, making it a more versatile option for drivers who want a unique and premium-feeling car.

Best for: Buyers who value style, a high-quality interior, and an enjoyable driving experience, and are looking for a used EV bargain.

Not ideal for: Drivers needing a long electric range, those who frequently carry rear-seat passengers, or anyone who finds the rear-hinged doors impractical.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the MX-30 if: You prioritise unique style, a high-quality cabin, and an enjoyable drive, and are looking for a great-value used EV.

Consider alternatives if: You need a long-range EV, frequently use the back seats, or find the clever rear-hinged doors to be a practical compromise.

Competitive Position: The Mazda MX-30 carves a niche in the crowded EV market with its standout design and premium interior, trading practicality for flair. While rivals like the Nissan Leaf offer more range and space, the MX-30 provides a more stylish and engaging experience. Heavy depreciation makes it an attractive used buy, and the R-EV version cleverly addresses range anxiety, broadening its appeal.
