The MX-30 was the first Mazda to achieve an overall five-star rating under the more stringent 2020 Euro NCAP crashworthiness ratings with a stronger emphasis on occupant protection, post-crash protection, and advanced driver assistance technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This excellent performance is a result of three key factors: The latest Skyactiv Vehicle Architecture features a high-rigidity, impact-absorbing yet lightweight bodyshell. A wide range of advanced i Activsense safety technologies help drivers identify potential risks and reduce the likelihood of damage or injury. High standards of pedestrian protection mitigate the impact of a collision with vulnerable road users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mazda\u2019s new series plug-in hybrid offers the same customer values as the all-electric MX-30, while simultaneously offering new ways of using a car as a battery electric vehicle. With a 17.8 kWh battery, the e-Skyactiv R-EV has an 85 km pure electric range. Using Mazda\u2019s unique rotary engine technology, the all-new 830 cm\u00b3 single-rotor petrol engine acts as a generator to enable longer distance drives without range or charging anxiety. With no mechanical connection between the engine and the wheels, the rotary unit simply acts as a generator, ensuring the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV always drives via the electric motor to deliver a seamless EV driving experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With more than half a century of expertise in the development of rotary engines, Mazda selected the rotary powerplant for this application due to its unique ability to produce the required output from a compact, lightweight, and easily packaged unit. The rotary engine is placed neatly alongside the generator and high-output motor in the engine bay. The combination of a 17.8 kWh battery and a 50 litre fuel tank creates a unique series plug-in hybrid with a flexible total range of up to 680 km, while a WLTP CO2 output of just 21g\/km ensures class-leading environmental performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A standout design element of MX-30 is its Freestyle doors, a heritage link to the 2003 Mazda RX-8. This, however, doesn\u2019t adversely affect safety. In fact, the ‘analysis of the deformed crush element from the offset frontal test indicated that the MX-30\u2019s structure did not pose a high risk to the occupants of a colliding vehicle in a frontal offset impact,’ testers said. ‘In both the side barrier test representing a collision by another vehicle, and the more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good, and the car scored maximum points for these two tests’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Committed to a future society free of car accidents, Mazda works continuously to advance safety performance under the Mazda Proactive Safety philosophy. The superior driving dynamics achieved as a result of Mazda\u2019s Skyactiv Technology also contribute to the new Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV’s driving safety. By making the car easier to drive, they reduce the potential for accidents without compromising Mazda’s traditional fun-to-drive character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following its world premiere at the Brussels Motor Show in January, the Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV will go on sale throughout Europe later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
