How the 2022 Mazda MX-30 stands out

The 2022 Mazda MX-30 is the first electric vehicle from Mazda and it combines the advantages of electric propulsion with the traditional Mazda qualities that have made the brand popular with so many people.

A distinctive style

The 2022 Mazda MX-30 does not blend in with its surroundings due to its unique style that is modern and refreshing. This is due to its distinctive roofline that emulates the look of a coupe and its rear-hinged rear doors that make for an interesting look in addition to facilitating access to the rear seat. Inside, the MX-30 makes use of unusual materials that give it a distinctive and premium appearance, such as the cork that lines the center console. This material is a nod to Mazda’s beginnings in addition to being a clever use of renewable materials that emphasizes this model’s eco-friendly nature.

Its electric powertrain

The 2022 Mazda MX-30 is the only Mazda to be powered by electrons. This means that its powertrain is entirely unique and another way in which it stands out. In the MX-30, power comes from a 35,5-kWh battery and an electric motor that generates 143 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. Since the battery is on the smaller side, this output is enough to give the MX-30 an impressive level of performance. In addition, having a smaller battery creates less emissions, so the MX-30 is more eco-friendly than many other electric vehicles.

The driving dynamics

Another way in which 2022 MX-30 stands out from other EVs is with its driving dynamics, which are typically Mazda. Most electric vehicles on the market are equipped with heavy batteries that dull their handling and make them less fun to drive than comparable cars powered by gasoline engines. In the case of the MX-30, using a smaller battery allowed Mazda to engineer it with the same handling characteristics and the same light and nimble feeling that makes all of its cars fun to drive.
