Mazda MX-30 review
Mazda has joined the ultra-popular crossover SUV race with the MX-30, but how does it compare with its ever-growing list of rivals in this heavily crowded market segment?
The Mazda MX-30 is a practical and versatile family car that’s easy on the eye and also opens-up a range of different options for lease customers.
There are two variants available to lease, both with distinctive hatchback-SUV crossover styling and with a head-turning good looks.
You can lease a fully electric Mazda MX-30, which is an attractive urban commuter with a range of up to 124 miles between charges, and which can be rapidly recharged in around 33 minutes.
The other MX-30 is a plug-in hybrid, known as the MX-30 R-EV, which boasts an electric range of up to 53 miles between charges as well as overall fuel economy of up to 280 miles to the gallon - which should save you money at the fuel pumps.
The MX-30 R-EV hybrid is also unique in that it matches a 830cc rotary engine with a 17.8kWh battery. That rotary engine, as opposed to a traditional piston-powered internal combustion engine, makes for smoother power delivery and more potent acceleration.
Indeed, the MX-30 R-EV’s 170 hp results in a 0-62mph acceleration time of 9.1 seconds, which makes it quicker off the mark than the electric MX-30.
Whichever powertrain you choose, you can expect an abundance of equipment fitted as standard. Entry-level models - across both variants - feature an 8.8-inch touchscreen with sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, head-up display, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and a reversing camera.
The fully electric Mazda MX-30 makes for an ideal company car, with business lease customers enjoying a low Benefit in Kind (BIK) rate of 2%, which is fixed until the 2024/25 financial year.
The plug-in hybrid MX-30 could also be a good company car option. CO2 emissions are low at 21g/km, which again will mean a generous Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax rate.
The backwards-opening rear doors are another nice touch from Mazda that help make the MX-30 feel unique while also providing added convenience for passengers who are accessing the rear seats of the vehicle.
The MX-30 fits into the Mazda range alongside the petrol-powered CX-30 and the larger CX-5 SUV. It’s a rival to the likes of the Kia Niro, Hyundai Kona, and the plug-in hybrid version of the Volkswagen Golf.

In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
Ben Crompton was fantastic and made our first time leasing a car through our Business an easy one. He was always on hand, efficient and explained everything we needed to know. He also gave us a contact to help install an electric wall charger, ready for our electric car. We will certainly come back to Select Car Leasing in the future. Many thanks.
Excellent service from Darren Street. Quote sent within 10 mins, approved and car ordered the same day. Best lease company I’ve used.
Our car finally arrived and we are so happy with it! Huge thank you to Hakan Gevher for helping us through every step of the process
