Check Out the 1st Ever Electrified MX-30!

Mazda North American Operations recently announced the launch of the all-new Mazda MX-30, the brand’s inaugural battery-electric automobile, to the US marketplace starting in fall 2021 with dealerships in California. This fashionable automobile will celebrate the first phase in Mazda’s multi-solution electrification plan. The MX-30 is a refreshing inclusion to Mazda’s vehicle roster. It offers the identical signature driving dynamics and meticulous design anticipated from Mazda, but via a new electric powertrain.

Fast Changing Demands

“Mazda is preparing for the fast-changing US market demands by taking a multi-solution approach to electrification,” Jeff Guyton, President of Mazda North American Operations, said. “The battery-powered MX-30 will begin the introduction of additional electrified models, including a series plug-in hybrid with a rotary generator for MX-30, a plug-in hybrid for our new large platform, and a traditional hybrid for our new American-made crossover. While these powertrains will be optimized for their platforms, Mazda fans can expect great driving dynamics and beautiful design across all models.”

“The rotary generator will mark the return of our unique rotary powertrain,” Guyton said. “This technology is being engineered for nearly silent operation and will replenish the battery rather than drive the wheels. As a result, the MX-30 will always drive like the engaging EV that it is, but with freedom to charge from the wall or on the go.”

Mazda’s brand-new electrification technology uses an electric motor and a 35.5 kWh lithium-ion battery. This new powertrain in conjunction with improvements to the Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture help the electric crossover deliver fantastic driving dynamics. The front-wheel drive electric motor will produce an output of 107 kW (144 horsepower) and a maximum torque of 271 Nm (200 lb-ft), providing a soft and connected feeling that helps improve support for the driver.

Charging Options

MX-30 owners will have various alternatives to stay charged, whether at home or wandering around town via entry to public Level 2 and DC fast charging solutions. The 35.5 kWh battery can be charged to 80% within roughly 36 minutes using DC fast charging2. MNAO will team up with ChargePoint to offer charging solutions for MX-30 owners in the US. Further details on this collaboration will be distributed nearer to the motor vehicles appearing in dealerships.
