    Mazda's clever little MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is a PHEV, but not as you know it. Jonathan Crouch drives it.
    Mazda's little MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is a Plug-in Hybrid, but a very different one. The rotary engine's unique, never drives the wheels and constantly defers to an electric motor offering 53 miles of range. Sounds promising.
    It's been a very long time since we've seen a Mazda with a rotary engine, that Wankel technology inextricably linked with the brand, who produced more than 2 million rotary engines between the launch of the Mazda Cosmo in 1967 and the end of production of the RX-8 sports car in 2012. Since then, rotary tech's been absent from the company's line-up, but now it's back, not in a high performance coupe but in a model we'd previously thought was an EV, the little MX-30 hatch.
    The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is effectively the range extender version of that car. That's a description which might conjure up memories of the old BMW i3 range extender model, which had a rather crude little motorbike engine stacked out back to noisily cut in when the EV batteries were depleted. As we'll see, Mazda's R-EV tech is a great deal more sophisticated than that. In fact, the rotary engine it uses never directly powers the wheels. Sounds intriguing. Let's take a closer look.

    On order, for my driving profile, lots of short journeys, just an occasional longer journey it is perfect. No range anxiety for me.

    Tip the front seat PLUS suicide doors. I remember the 1950s and so does Mazda on this ghastly heavyweight of fly weight size.

    Shame GM stopped the Chevvy Volt/Vauxhall Ampera.

    this is noisier than the bmw i3 rex and it has less electric range and is heavier and slower and uses more fuel...
    you would think an suv would have some space for passengers,,,
    original mazda 30 ev only had 100 electric so they built this with half that range, well done.
    so it charges twice as fast as the ev hooray
    but it has half the range Der
