Mazda MX-30 (DR)
Subcompact CrossoverProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Mazda MX-30 (chassis code DR) is an entry-level subcompact battery-electric crossover in production from 2020. It is powered by 143hp of electric twisting power aided by a battery capacity of 36kWh.
Combining the horrors of BEV with hunchback crossover, the MX-30 is one of the biggest offenders of the worst trends in the automotive industry.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Mazda MX-30 is hardly the "offroader" that Mazda would like you to think.

Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)Mazda’s refreshingly logical approach to infotainment ergonomics continues to stand out among large-screened and touch-control-heavy contemporaries. The back seats are a slightly more contentious issue. The ‘suicide’ doors are a neat touch, but they’re so small as to prevent entry to all but the most compact of passengers. It builds on the already-agreeable specification of the entry-level SE-L Lux car.
Pros
- Fantastic range
- Decent infotainment
- Excellent range
Cons
- Slightly cramped back seats
- Alternatives offer more range

Reviewer score 61% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Mazda MX-30 is the Japanese manufacturer's first pure electric car. Uses the firm's own e-Skyactiv electric drive system and a modest 35.5kWh lithium-ion battery for a range of just 124 miles. Sharp, stylish design, unusual rear-hinged doors, an engaging driving experience and a top class safety score are the big selling points. But the limited range and poor rear passenger accommodation will deter many.
Pros
- Sprightly electric drive
- Decent range
Cons
- Limited range
- Poor rear passenger space

Infotainment is fully-featured, with Apple CarPlay support included and Mazda's intuitive rotary control.
Pros
- Fantastic electric range
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment
Cons
- Cork looks a little cheap
- Alternatives are more practical
carwow[4]
Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)Mazda is touting the MX-30 as a second car. Its 35.5kWh battery and single electric motor produce 143hp and 246Nm of torque through a one-speed gearbox. Unlike the instant get-up-and-go you get from other EVs, the Mazda is likely to offer more progressive acceleration.
Pros
- More fun to drive
- Decent range
Cons
- Less practical than other EVs
