Mazda's first production electric car, the Mazda MX-30, has been revealed at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show.
Featuring unique freestyle doors, ecological materials and a right-sized battery giving a range of approximately 201km on the European Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure, the Mazda MX-30 marks another positive step in Mazda's multi-solution approach to reducing emissions following the recent arrival of the innovative Skyactiv-X engine.
Like every other Mazda, the Mazda MX-30 promises to provide a very natural and responsive driving feel, by accelerating, turning and braking exactly as you intend in everyday driving situations.
This has been achieved through innovative engineering approaches. The 35.5kWh lithium-ion battery has been rigidly integrated into the vehicle body structure, which enhances the overall body stiffness and provides excellent response to the driver's input. This leads to very stable driving that is further supported by Mazda's unique G-Vectoring Control, which also has been expanded to utilise the advantages of the electric motor.
With the Mazda MX-30, Mazda has continued the design focus of 'less is more' when it comes to the exterior and interior of its cars.
The cabin has a sense of oneness, flowing from the top of A-pillar to the rear end.
Meanwhile, freestyle doors give the Mazda MX-30 a distinctive and elegant cabin silhouette, as well as providing customers with easier access to both the front and rear seats. In the interior, Mazda is also introducing eco-friendly materials and is replacing most of the leather with a vegan alternative. The floating centre console features environmentally-sourced cork, which provides creative storage space.
