Performance

The Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv EV has a maximum power of 107 kW (146 hp / 144 bhp) and a total torque of 271 Nm (200 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 9.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 35.5 kWh and a net usable capacity of 30.0 kWh, with a 5.5 kWh buffer (15.5%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 355 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 200 km (124 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 15.0 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh).

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 54 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 54 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 27 minutes with an average charging speed of 46 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 5% to 68%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 41 kW, with each charging session taking about 28 minutes and 47 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 230 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 16 hours and 12 minutes, needing 113 charging stops from 4% to 71%, totaling 3353 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 2 hours and 43 minutes with a standard home setup.

Charge Port

The location of the charge port is on the right rear corner. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.

Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.

Drivetrain

The Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv EV has a front-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the front axle.

Suspension

The suspension system features a MacPherson strut front construction and a torsion beam rear construction. Both the front and rear dampers are monotube dampers, providing consistent performance and durability. The front and rear springs are coil springs, offering a balance of comfort and performance.

Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking is available in two modes. You can use one-pedal driving or you can coast and use the blended brakes to regen.

However, it is not considered full one-pedal driving since, at low speeds, the vehicle will keep rolling until it comes to a stop by itself.

Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between five levels.

The maximum regenerative braking power is 30 kW.
