Mazda’s all-electric MX-30 now available to order

Mazda’s first all-electric battery car, the MX-30, is available to order now from UK dealers. Prices start at £26,995 (with the OLEV grant applied) for the limited-run First Edition, with first deliveries scheduled for early 2021.

We’ve already driven the prototype in Portugal. The MX-30 uses a 35.5kWh battery, which can provide a range of around 124 miles. It comes with AC charging up to 6.6Kw and DC rapid charging designed to meet 125A Combo Charging standards. Rapid charging delivers up to 80 per cent battery charge in 30 to 40 minutes.

Only 500 of the First Edition models will be sold in the UK and buyers will receive a free home charger.

Pricing and availability for the rest of the MX-30 range will be announced later in the year.

Despite externally having a compact footprint, Mazda’s designers have ensured the interior feels spacious by introducing a floating centre console, plus rear ‘suicide’ doors which reveal a pillar-less opening.
