Since Mazda's new vehicle hasn't been given its own subforum here yet, I figured I'd make one. The Mazda MX-30 will initially only be available in California and solely as an electric vehicle (a plug-in hybrid with a rotary range extender is said to be coming later). The MX-30 is offered in electric and mild hybrid forms powered by Mazda's in-house 2.0-liter Skyactiv engine in its native nation of Japan.
Some highlights are as follows:
Creditable by the federal government
Plug-in hybrid version with 100-mile range and starting MSRP of $33,470 (for the EV) and rear clamshell doors (like the RX-8) rumored to arrive in the U.S. later
The MX-30 is the better-looking of the two, but I wish the mild hybrid variant had been available at launch in the United States. How do you feel about the MX-30?
