One Reviewer pointed out that a car with no B-pillar makes it about as easy to get a child's car seat in an out as we are likely ever going to see. (Unless you have a humanoid Robot to 'Collect' your child, and make sure he/she is properly Belted In. As a Bonus, that humanoid Robot might break out a window, if the driver gets distracted and leaves the child behind while the car becomes a Torture Device.)
The opening isn't great to be honest even without the B Pillar. I'd love to see someone try to get their child in and/or out of a rear facing child seat in the back of one of these. Madness
The MX-30 has been discontinued in the US for many months; no surprise cos of its poor range. However, it is important to note that the MX-30 was not available US-wide, being available in California as the only state where it was offered.
The all electric mx 30 had a pretty disapointing electric range so they have made this with less than half the electric range,oops now if they still had the 100 mile electric range with this system , success...what ev car makers seem to have forgotten is charging at home is the cheap to run and convenient bit, now i know people will say ,what if you cant charge at home, simple dont get an ev.
I'm surprised that they are still offering the pure electric version. I thought this was the replacement. It would have been nice if you had done a range test to see if it really can go 400 miles.
Yeah, there's now a full electric and a plug in hybrid version of the MX-30. I'd love to do a range test with the MX-30 R-EV, it would go very well with my road trip content 👍
It is quite niche, and an early attempt at satisfying the market. Some of the more recent vehicles on the market address that issue better so I'm not sure it's looking amazing
There are a few cars you can consider including the Kia Niro, Hyundai Kona or even go for slightly larger SUVs like the BYD Seal U DM-i that I'm currently testing. If you prefer to have a traditional hybrid and not a PHEV then the Nissan Qashqai is great at giving that EV feel with the e-POWER. What are your thoughts?
You're welcome. If you need any more advice let me know. And be sure to check out some of my other videos if I've tested any of the cars you're interested it. Have a great day!
Do you like the doors of the Mazda MX-30?

Amazing Review, Thanks! 💪🏽
Hey thank you for watching and I appreciate the support 💪

I'm assuming that is the pure electric one? I imagine how well this plug in hybrid version would do
@@Naveed4Speed Yes, only the EV model was sold in California.
I doubt the extended range model will be offered in the states.
I agree
Sounds like it was a compliance car to offset Mazda's ICE emissions.
@@David_Polak California has pretty tough emission standards, hence Mazda sold the MX-30 in that area.

I think the most manufacturers are still not ready to commit to all-electric and it shows

Wonder what the resale value, will be. Not a lot I'll guess. It's very niche.

@@Naveed4Speed What would YOU recommend as alternatives?

@@Naveed4Speed It's very new to me, but I'll look into the suggested cars. Thanks a lot. :)

Good video
Thank you for watching!
Amazing car
It's pretty cool isn't it?
Is it too heavy?
It weighs 1,806 kg which is more than the pure EV version
Good video
Thank you!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😁👍
