- In a stroke of innovative genius, Mazda appears to have created a car that genuinely ‘does it all’. Building on their all-electric offering, the new MX-30 R-EV combines the best of electric and petrol to deliver a driving experience that feels bespoke for every driver.
Making great use of their iconic rotary engine expertise, Mazda have equipped their MX-30 with a small but mighty 830cc rotary engine that pairs perfectly with their lightweight 17.8kWh electric battery, providing a combined 168bhp and over 400 miles of range.
But this is just the tip of the innovative iceberg when it comes to this latest Mazda hybrid. Join Duncan Vincent as he explores everything that makes the new MX-30 R-EV so special; from the cornucopia of driver assist systems to the sleek styling to the crisp handling, this Road Test has a little something for everyone.

60 mile return journey to and from work, I have not used any petrol yet in my first week of ownership. A brilliant Car with lots of equipment. Great to drive and exceptional comfort and build quality. Probably not for everyone but my driving profile fits the Car Perfectly. If you do longer drives often then this is probably not for you. My profile of home to work and back with the occasional longer journey suits me perfectly. No range anxiety or waiting for a charger for me.
That's great to hear. You sound like exactly the kind of driver that Mazda had in mind when designing this car. Hopefully more people will discover the benefits of the MX-30 R-EV and consider it as their next car.
Do you still love this car after two months now ? Thanks for letting us know your experience with this car.
6mph/10kmh faster and I would have loved this car. But 87mph/140kmh is my "normal" speed on the highway and I'd really love some little buffer. 🥲
A linear PHEV with slightly higher specs would be exactly what we need. In my experience, a 0--60 sprint time of 7 to 8 seconds is the sweet spot. Whenever you need more oomph than that, some bystander will think you're reckless, so you can't make practical use of it anyway. But anything less than that is too lethargic, you will miss opportunities in traffic.
Interesting! That makes sense. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Too bad I am in greece. Any news re 2025 upgrades?
This car would suit our lifestyle completely.
Good to know! It's always nice to find the things that just make sense.
you must open the front door to open the rear door , you got into the rear closed the rear door , how are you going to close the front door, i know about this as i have a bmw i3 rex with the same silly doors with non opening rear windows.
but the rex is great , a proper ev with no hassle...
so i was looking forward to this mazda but on this they halved the battery size, thus a good idea ruined...
It will suit certain drivers, but hope you find something that better suits you.
A petrol tank of 50 litres (11 gallon) and a range of 400miles that makes it 36mpg not upto 282mpg
You make a good point, however, this number is based on a a claimed fuel economy of 282.5 miles per gallon, but this figure is only achievable if the battery is kept fully charged. Without regular charging, the MX-30 R-EV will typically get around 35-40 mpg.
Clearly a salesman. 😂
He's really not, but hope you enjoyed the video.
The only plug in hybrid that makes sense
