There’s no doubt about the increasing appeal of SUVs, but few can match the coupe-like style of Mazda’s MX-30 EV for your investment. However, it’s not only the design that represents a notable shift for the Japanese manufacturer – this was Mazda’s inaugural fully electric vehicle and is still the sole option available for purchase at this moment.
The Mazda MX-30 debuted in 2021 as an electric vehicle featuring a compact battery and a range of only 124 miles on a single charge. This could clarify why it has only been available in restricted quantities thus far - even though Mazda argues that a long-range electric car isn't truly necessary.
It might have accommodated a larger battery pack, but that would have been unnecessary since most customers view the MX-30 as a secondary vehicle for school trips.
Mazda MX-30 Fuel Consumption
For those seeking a Mazda MX-30 capable of longer journeys, the Mazda MX-30 R-EV presents a distinct interpretation of the plug-in hybrid concept.
The MX-30 EV generates 0g/km of CO2 emissions and features low company car taxation, along with a lower Benefit in Kind (BiK) rate. Its charging speed is relatively slow at 50kW, while numerous competing electric vehicles achieve a minimum of twice that amount.
Nonetheless, due to the compact size of the battery pack, it still allows for 20-80% charging in only 26 minutes. Having access to a home wallbox charger allows you to charge from 20-80% in three hours using the typical 7.4kW supply.
Purchase a fully electric Mazda MX-30 and you should, in theory, be capable of covering 124 miles on a single charge. We believe approximately 100 miles is more plausible; possibly even fewer in winter. This really restricts the Mazda MX-30 EV to just the school run and/or a brief commute.
The typical weekly distance driven by UK motorists is merely 100 miles, so don’t overly worry about range. Should you require longer travel, the Mazda MX-30 R-EV is a plug-in hybrid offering a total range exceeding 400 miles. And if you have to go beyond that, you can add some fuel to it - just like in the past.
As with all plug-in hybrids, it's essential to charge the Mazda MX-30 R-EV frequently to optimize its performance. It can officially travel approximately 53 miles on electric power and can be quickly charged in about 25 minutes.
The most economical method to charge a Mazda MX-30 will be with a home charger. Based on your electricity rate, anticipate spending approximately £10 to charge the EV's 36kWh battery. The Mazda MX-30 R-EV, equipped with a 17.8kWh battery, is expected to be priced at approximately £5.
The fuel consumption of the Mazda MX-30 is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Mazda MX-30 variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Mazda MX-30 in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Mazda MX-30 is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
