5 reasons to buy the 2022 Mazda MX-30 EV
1. Fun handling
For zipping around town, the 2022 MX-30 EV is perfectly suited for the hustle and bustle of the big city. The electric powertrain provides instant torque, and when matched with sharp and agile handling, making this small SUV feel more like a sports car. Whether it’s diving in and out of traffic, or enjoying the curves on a twisty backroad, you’ll have fun behind the wheel of the 2022 MX-30 EV.
2. Smooth and comfortable ride
That spritely driving experience is ideally balanced with an overall comfortable and supple ride. That instant torque from the electric motor also allows for smooth power delivery, meaning highway cruising is a breeze - especially with an EPA-estimated range of up to 100 miles on a full charge.
Additionally, you and your passengers will love the numerous creature comforts included as standard inside the cabin. These include heated front seats, simulated leather upholstery, a sunroof, and single-zone automatic climate control.3. Spacious cargo capacity
Whether it’s the weekly groceries or the family holiday luggage, cargo space is most likely a high priority for you - and the 2022 MX-30 EV delivers. Behind the rear seats is a generous 21 cu-ft of cargo volume in the trunk. Should you require some extra capacity, the rear seats are 60/40 split-folding and can lie mostly flat to expand the space available for transporting bulkier items such as furniture.

With just two separate trim levels on offer, the 2022 MX-30 EV is well-equipped with desirable features as standard. Tech fans will feel right at home inside, as base models include a heads-up display, a digital gauge cluster, an 8.8-inch touchscreen interface with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, and an eight-speaker sound system. For a little more finesse, select the Premium Plus trim to get a heated steering wheel and an upgraded 12-speaker premium sound system.
5. Standard driver convenience tech in abundance
If you want to make your daily driving experience as relaxing as possible, the 2022 MX-30 EV has numerous driver convenience technologies to provide enhanced peace of mind on the roads.
