What to Know About the 2022 Mazda MX-30

The 2022 Mazda MX-30 is an all-electric subcompact crossover SUV that will soon hit the North American auto market for the 2022 model year. The MX-30 will be Mazda’s debut in the electric car industry—this electric crossover model will be the first all-electric vehicle designed and mass-marketed by Mazda. 

Considering how long Mazda has waited to add its own all-electric model to its vehicle lineup, the upcoming release of the electric MX-30 is very exciting for Mazda fans, auto critics, and any driver who is in the market for a high-performing and comparatively affordable all-electric vehicle. 

Stay in the know until this long-awaited all-electric crossover SUV from Mazda hits the mainstream auto market. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2022 Mazda MX-30 that will be reaching North American dealerships in the near future. 

On-the-Road Performance 

The 2022 Mazda MX-30 comes equipped with a 35.5-kWh battery. Some auto critics have questioned Mazda’s decision to equip their first all-electric vehicle model with such a small battery, but Mazda has stated that their decision to do so is deliberate in order to minimize the emissions of the MX-30 over time as much as possible. 

The electric MX-30’s 35.5-kWh battery powers a single motor that allows for front-wheel drive and delivers the equivalent of 144 horsepower and 200 lb.-ft. of torque on the road. This battery provides power to the MX-30’s electric motor gradually in order to allow for smoother acceleration. 

The 2022 MX-30 is also designed with special effects that allow this electric crossover SUV to mimic the sound of a traditional gas-powered engine when it accelerates. These imitation sounds make the MX-30 more fun and exciting to drive than many other all-electric vehicles—especially for drivers who enjoy the sound of a building engine rev. 

Range and Charging 

Equipped with a 35.5-kWh battery, the all-electric Mazda MX-30 is expected to have an average range of between 100 and 125 miles on a single battery charge.

While this figure is lower than the range of many other electric vehicles that are currently available on the mainstream auto market, the MX-30 is also compatible with DC fast-charging that charges this electric crossover vehicle’s battery to 80% in just 36 minutes. 

Plug-in Hybrid Version 

In addition to its all-electric model, the 2022 Mazda MX-30 will also be available in a plug-in hybrid version. 

This plug-in hybrid model comes equipped with a small rotary gasoline engine that powers its battery—allowing the hybrid MX-30 model to travel a longer distance on a single battery charge than its all-electric counterpart. 

Sustainable Interior Accents 

Another intriguing feature of the 2022 Mazda MX-30 is this subcompact electric crossover’s attention to detail—which is characteristic of almost all Mazda vehicles.

In its spacious cabin, the 2022 MX-30 EV features only top-quality, premium materials that give it a luxurious look and comfortable feel. It is also designed with interior accents that are made with only sustainable materials such as cork and recycled fabrics. 

These sustainable interior accents give the MX-30 a unique look and emphasize Mazda’s dedication to an eco-friendly future. 

Release Date 

The Mazda MX-30 is a 2022 model that is designed specifically for the North American auto market. Most vehicle models for the 2022 model year will be released by the end of 2021—a subsequent model year for most vehicle brands begins in the third or fourth quarters of the previous model year. 

Mazda has announced that they will be releasing the all-electric version of their 2022 MX-30 in the fall of 2021—but only in California, at least at first. In addition to announcing the rough release date for the MX-30 in California, Mazda has also announced their plans to release both the all-electric and plug-in hybrid versions of the MX-30 throughout the rest of the United States and Canada sometime in 2022.

Affordability 

The exact price ranges for the 2022 MX-30 models have not yet been released by Mazda. However, careful speculation suggests that the MX-30 will be a comparatively affordable all-electric vehicle. 

Mazda is renowned for producing reliable, affordable vehicles, and they are not expected to break this reputation with the release of their first all-electric vehicle model. 

The small battery of the all-electric MX-30 is also expected to lower the price of the MX-30 on the mainstream auto market—which is great for drivers who are interested in driving an all-electric vehicle but don’t see any need for a larger battery.
