Mazda MX-30 EV

The all-new 2022 Mazda MX-30 is the first step towards Mazda’s commitment to electrification.

The battery-electric MX-30 holds tight to Mazda’s core values of developing vehicles focused around the driver. The unmistakable Kodo exterior design and crafted interior allow the MX-30 to fit right in with the Mazda family and still stand out from other EVs.

The modern styling, engaging driving dynamics, and Mazda’s latest features bring everything together to help create an emotional bond with the electric crossover.

The MX-30 can easily be the ideal companion for daily driving with an EPA estimated range of 100 miles on a full charge. The MX-30 is equipped with a 35.5 kWh lithium-ion battery that helps maintain its superb driving dynamics and allow for a lower environmental impact.

Distinctive Design

MX-30 embodies a new “Human Modern” concept that pushes the boundaries of Kodo design philosophy even further. MX-30 features a variation of the brand’s signature wing front grille that emphasizes its deeply sculpted headlights. This helps allow the electric crossover to look and feel familiar to Mazda vehicles. MX-30’s d-pillar features a new “Mazda” badge that comes in black as standard or in silver for the upper trim level.

All-new, multi-tone premium exterior color options distinguish the EV by highlighting the coupe-like roof line, while also helping make the vehicle’s appearance feel more solid and grounded. This option will give MX-30 a three-tone scheme with a dark gray roof, silver d-pillar badge, and the body color available in either Polymetal Gray, Ceramic Metallic, or Soul Red Crystal.

Another unique feature for MX-30 is the freestyle doors, which when fully opened helps achieve a feeling of openness and freedom. Opening the front door reveals a latch to easily access the rear doors and allow entry to the back seats. The front seats can be conveniently adjusted by front occupants with the traditional seat controls or new power controls on the back of the driver’s seat for rear occupants sitting behind the driver.

Mazda MX-30 Interior

The MX-30’s interior maintains a warm and inviting feeling while also thoughtfully using environmentally friendly materials. The interior uses cork to blend modern with heritage sentiments by paying homage to Mazda’s origin as a cork manufacturer over 100 years ago. Cork is also one of the most sustainable materials available.

Mirroring the openness of the freestyle doors, the configurations of an EV allowed Mazda designers to take a unique approach when creating the floating center console with cork accents. This floating design allows for additional storage space and neatly tucks away the standard two USB audio inputs and 150W AC power outlet. Also positioned here are the electronic shifter along with the multi-function commander knob and shortcut buttons that will allow occupants to safely operate the Mazda Connect infotainment system.

Premium Plus Package

The 2022 Mazda MX-30 EV can be equipped with the Premium Plus package that introduces all-new i-Activsense safety features and elevates the sophisticated feeling of the electric vehicle.

Blind Spot Assist enhances Blind Spot Monitoring, by providing steering assist to help keep the vehicle in its own lane if the driver attempts to change lanes while another vehicle is detected in the blind spot.

When traveling at speeds below 6 mph, Front Cross Traffic Alert produces an audible and visual alert on the instrument panel to help warn the driver when the front sensors detect vehicles approaching from the front left or right side of the vehicle at speeds above 3 mph.

This package enhances the vehicle with the Bose 12-speaker premium audio, heated steering wheel, 360° View Monitor with front parking sensors, Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, and a complimentary three-month trial of SiriusXM™ satellite radio. The rearview camera display includes dynamic lines while the frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror adds HomeLink and the cargo area adds a convenient light.

The 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels are finished with a bright silver color. The leatherette seats are available in either Pure White with gray fabric or Vintage Brown with black fabric, with both options still featuring fabric using 20% recycled threads.

Through this package, MX-30 is available as a single-tone exterior paint in Jet Black or Machine Gray Metallic premium paint or in the three new multi-tone color options.
