Should you choose a fully electric Mazda MX-30 or a plug-in hybrid?

(ad)

If you have fallen for the style, the special freestyle doors or just the driving pleasure of the Mazda MX-30, then you still have one important choice: the full electric version or the plug-in hybrid. The starting price of the two versions of the MX-30 is almost the same, so it just depends on what you plan to do with the car. In this article we explain the difference.

The fully electric Mazda MX-30 EV reaches 200 kilometers on a single battery charge. If you often drive in the city, you can even reach 265 km after a charging session. Most people in the Netherlands don’t drive anywhere near 200 km a day, so for these people the MX-30 EV is more than enough. And otherwise, with a charging speed of 50 kW you can charge from 20 to 80 percent in just 25 minutes.

Mazda MX-30 R-EV

If you want to drive an electric car for most of your trips, but still have the option of continuing to use gasoline every now and then, the MX-30 R-EV may be the best option. After a charging session you can drive 85 km on full electricity with this car. After this distance, the rotary engine starts working as a generator to charge the battery again. Driving is always done by an electric motor.

The biggest advantage of a rotary motor is that it is light and compact and makes little noise. Special technology ensures small vibrations, so that the rotary motor can recharge the battery back. Would you rather charge than refuel? Then you can charge from 20 to 80 percent in 30 minutes via the fast charger. The best of all worlds, then.

Mazda MX-30 design

The MX-30 design is a great example of Mazda’s amazing Kodo design. The subtle, cool, and minimal design is not interrupted by surprising details. Inside, the MX-30 features sustainable materials, such as cork on the center console and door handles, for a natural look – but without cutting down trees.

The drivetrain may be modern, but the MX-30 still has the genuine driving pleasure you’ve come to expect from Mazda. Electronic G-Vectoring Control provides razor-sharp steering, while balanced weight distribution ensures stable handling in corners. Unusual driving pleasure.
