Bermaz Motor, the sole distributor of Mazda vehicles in Malaysia has opened for booking the fully imported (CBU), fully-electric MX-30 crossover in two variants – Mid and High – with prices starting from RM198,780. The MX-30 was first revealed at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. Deliveries are expected to take place in Q4 of 2022.
The Mazda MX-30 comes with a 5-year/100,000km manufacturer warranty, whichever comes first along with an 8-year/160,000 km EV battery warranty, whichever comes first.
Built on the CX-30 platform, the fully electric MX-30 is fitted with a 35.5 kWh battery, to power an electric motor that drives the front wheels. The combination produces 143 hp and 271 Nm and is expected to return up to 199 km of electric driving range.
Using a 6.6 kW Type 2 AC charger, the MX-30 can be fully charged in just 5 hours while the quicker 40 kW DC charger can charge the MX-30 up to 80% in 36 minutes.
