Mazda MX-30

The Mazda MX-30 is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Mazda and sold as a battery electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or mild hybrid (MHEV) variant. Based on the CX-30, it was unveiled at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. Production of the vehicle, which is Mazda's first mass-produced electric car, began at their Ujina factory on 19 May 2020. The plug-in hybrid variant uses a drivetrain operating in series, with a rotary engine acting as a range extender to the batteries. As one of the first automakers to successfully manufacture and market a Wankel rotary engine, Mazda built the engines longer than anyone else, with their last example installed in the Mazda RX-8. It's also Mazda's first rotary-engined front-wheel-drive car since the Luce R130.
