From the outside, the Mazda MX-30 comes standard with equipment such as LED headlights, LED taillights, 18-inch alloy wheels, and heated side mirrors, along with 10 parking sensors – four in front and six at the rear. The High variant we have here is also packed with a powered sunroof and LED Signature headlights.
Built on the same platform as its sibling, the CX-30, the fully electric Mazda MX-30 packs a 35.5 kWh battery. This battery helps power an electric motor which drives the front wheels, resulting in a total of 143 hp and 271 Nm. Range-wise, the MX-30 is able to carry you as far as 199 km (WLTP).

In the safety department, Mazda has equipped the MX-30 with seven airbags, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop-Go function, autonomous emergency braking (AEB) for both front and rear, lane keep assist (LKA) and lane departure warning (LDW).
