Mazda North American Operations has announced the arrival of the highly anticipated 2023 Mazda MX-30 EV in California dealerships this spring. This all-electric crossover embodies Mazda’s dedication to crafting vehicles that offer engaging driving dynamics and distinctive design, fostering a strong emotional connection between drivers and their cars, even in the electric vehicle segment.
The Mazda MX-30 EV is powered by Mazda’s innovative e-Skyactiv technology, featuring a 35.5 kWh lithium-ion battery. This setup is engineered to inject driving pleasure into everyday commutes and urban explorations. Perfectly tailored for the needs of city dwellers, the MX-30 boasts an EPA-estimated range of 100 miles on a full charge, making it an ideal companion for daily routines around the neighborhood.
The exterior styling of the MX-30 is unmistakably Mazda, yet it introduces unique design elements that set it apart. The distinctive freestyle doors create an open and inviting cabin atmosphere, while the floating center console enhances the sense of spaciousness. Inside, Mazda’s heritage as a cork manufacturer is celebrated with the thoughtful incorporation of cork materials, adding a touch of warmth and natural質感 to the modern interior.
Standard features in the 2023 Mazda MX-30 EV are abundant, ensuring both driver and passenger comfort and peace of mind in their electric vehicle ownership experience. The cabin is centered around an 8.8-inch Mazda Connect™ infotainment display, equipped with seamless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration. Mazda’s commitment to safety is evident in the inclusion of numerous i-Activsense safety technologies across all MX-30 models. These features include Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Smart Brake Support, Rear Direction Base Safety (incorporating Smart Brake Support-Reverse & Rear Cross-Traffic Braking), Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Alert, and High Beam Control.
Further enhancing the driving experience are standard heated front seats, elegant Pure White leatherette seats accented with gray fabric, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a sophisticated frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror, and heated power-folding door mirrors with memory function and integrated turn signal lamps. A seven-inch digital gauge display, power moonroof, eight-way power driver seat with power lumbar support and memory, rearview camera with rear parking sensors, and stylish 18-inch silver finish aluminum alloy wheels are also included as standard. The Mazda MX-30 is offered in single-tone exterior paint options including Jet Black, Ceramic Metallic, and Polymetal Gray.
For those seeking an even more elevated experience, the 2023 Mazda MX-30 EV offers the Premium Plus package. This upgrade adds a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system, a heated steering wheel for colder climates, a 360° View Monitor with front parking sensors for enhanced maneuverability, Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry for added convenience, and a complimentary three-month trial of SiriusXM™ satellite radio.
The Premium Plus package also expands the i-Activsense safety suite with Blind Spot Assist, which actively enhances Blind Spot Monitoring by providing gentle steering assistance to help keep the vehicle within its lane if a lane change is attempted while a vehicle is detected in the blind spot. Front Cross Traffic Alert, another addition in this package, provides audible and visual warnings when approaching vehicles are detected from the front sides at speeds below 6 mph, particularly useful when pulling away from a stop. The 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels in the Premium Plus trim feature a bright silver finish. Leatherette seat options expand to include Vintage Brown with black fabric, in addition to Pure White with gray fabric, both of which incorporate fabric using 20% recycled threads, underscoring Mazda’s commitment to sustainability. The Premium Plus package offers Jet Black as the standard paint option, with premium paint options including Machine Gray Metallic and multi-tone Ceramic Metallic.
The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2023 MX-30 EV starts at $34,110, while the MX-30 EV with the Premium Plus package begins at $37,120. Premium paint colors are available at an additional cost: Machine Gray Metallic for $595 and multi-tone Ceramic Metallic for $895.
With its arrival in California, the 2023 Mazda MX-30 EV is poised to offer a unique and compelling option in the electric crossover market, blending Mazda’s signature driving dynamics and design philosophy with the benefits of electric power for the urban driver.
