That's exactly how I would expect a Porsche owner to park

14:30 *The Results of the test.*

Very informative. i can confirm your positive aspects. I ordered my mx-30 yesterday.

Felicitări Andrei, ma bucur sa vad ca pe langa articole faci acum si teste video pt InsideEV's. Succes in continuare!

Romanian people are the best people from Eastern Europe post Soviet block ❤️‍🔥🤩 So energetic so smart so well educated and they speak beautifully English ❤ Greetings from Poland Andrei! 🎉

I love Mazda and had 3 of them, one of which still with me, CX5 2018, love it. However, this was nerve-wracking to watch, I felt cold, anxiety, unsafe time strain. I would keep my 33 MPG fun, reliable CX 5 till I am the last man standing.

Excellent video... thanks 👍

Andrei, what is your battery settings on ? You may need to enable battery pre heating in the settings in order to heat the battery to charge it faster.

Test drove one yesterday, a very pleasant car, great spec. But came to KZfaq to confirm my suspicion about range! Thanks for posting

Wonder what would be the range in cold. Like -20 degrees Celsius, all heating on, driving something like 90 km/h.

The vehicle clearly wasn't built with long trips in mind, unless you buy the one with the range extender. As a second or third household car, used entirely for commuting, it'll be fine the majority of the time. Bit pricey, but depends on factory/dealer incentives and government subsidies. This is 85 miles in the winter at 2C / 35F with the heat running, whereas the average European round trip commute is 25 miles and average US commute is 32 miles. I don't think most owners would ever want to charge it to 100% or drive it down under 5%, so 80% - 5% would be 64 miles. Still plenty for commuting and errands. Throw in supermarket / workplace charging, and the range can be expanded. I like these cold tests with the HVAC set to at least 65 F, but why do IEVs reviewers always insist on doing cold tests without coats / gloves / boots? I guess he's operating the camera, but living in a cold climate, everyone I know drives with at least a coat and gloves. Boots... maybe not everyone... but once you realize how much warmer your feet stay, it's worth it. Pre-heat the car so the air, seats, and steering wheel are warmed up when you get inside and you don't develop an initial chill, and wear warm gear to retain your body heat. Drive with the heated seat on instead of allowing your body to get cold, requiring you to turn the HVAC on.

Well done Andrei! I enjoyed your video very much. I ve been wondering how far it would go when you are down to 0% SOC. Any chance of you testing that until it actually dies??? YES its lovable but not great for road trips. Sadly road trips are not frequent in our family anyways. 7320 miles with the MX-30.

Mr Tom when you pull a new EV into your garage do you think it might be intimidated a little bit by the 17 level two chargers all lined up?

Good video, thank you.

I love when you do that funny accent Tom, a little offensive but what the hell? Did you have to leave America to do this test?Maybe you came out to the peoples Republic of California?

I'm willing to bet the reason the battery pack is so small is because of financial reasons. Not the excuses they've given. Like how much the battery costs them (low economy of scale due to relatively small order from supplier) and how much profit they can make while selling at a price people might be willing to pay.

shame, because its got a fantastic interior and is lovely to drive. guess will wait for the range-extender...

Your English is excellent 👌.

Small battery, slow charging - an exercise in ‘meh’

The US version will be made locally in Alabama with a rotary backup generator.

A range extender here in Norway? ....as from 2025 pure EV's only! Mazda are going to continue developing their combustion engine according to their email to me. Not sure who they will sell their petrol cars to. I call them the Benjamin Button of the car industry. I.o.w going backwards.

I like Mazda but I think they failed on their first EV. Not enough range, impractical rear doors, it should have 200hp and 200 miles of range minimum. A car like the mx30 should be considerably cheaper for the limitations it has.

Why Mazda? If this was 60kwh, looked exactly like the CX-5, and charged at 150kw, this would be my number one choice. Even over the new Ioniq 5.

Great presentation. Thanks. 83 miles from 100% to zero ! Most people want to just jump in an EV and use it, so 80% to 20% is the comfort zone. For this car thats nowhere near enough mind miles.

Mazda Made an EV? How did I not know? They need to work on marketing because I just looked up all EVs in 2021 and Mazda wasn’t even on the list. I love Mazda btw.

I drive a new CX30.....Find this MX30 appealing.....But would be far more interested if it would upsize the batt to 50KW and also RWD is much nicer for a nice driving car..........Most probably would never give up My AWD...............Paul

They shouldve made it a 45KW battery ... the rule for manufacturers should be whatever you think is "necessary" add 10 ...

My biggest complaint is that a car coming from a Co. known for performance should be RWD as a minimum...AWD optional.....Paul

At 4:13 some "dutchbag" parked their car backwards

The car has a heat pump, which is very positive. Then you don't have to have full heat in the car. 17 degrees is enough and then it draws much less electricity than at 24 degrees. They recommend that you use seat and steering wheel heating before the air conditioning if possible. Then you certainly save some range on it. You get to test yourself.

135km?? I just feel sad for all the Mazda PR people doing backflips trying to defend the anti-EV choises made with this car. "Its our first ground up EV! That will be offered with a range extender. And an ICE only version.."

Why mazda why?

this thing with battery degradation after a few years will go maybe 50km in hot or cold weather lol, no amount of nice words you said can save it from its demise. It's priced a couple thousand more than a Bolt EUV which goes 4 times longer range (from 100km to 400km), so how do you think it's going to do ? This car shows why california compliance is a waste of time and materials

What a stupid idea, 100 mile range and $39,000 for it. Lol Mazda you cocked up.

Thanks for your report on MX30, wich is absolutely true. I share with you my experience after 3 months driving a MX30, which is indeed a very gorgeous car, inside-out with outstanding finishing quality and very comfortable and pleasant to drive. BUT WHAT A SHAME!!! Technically as an EV, MX30 is useless! When the temperature drops to freezing point or even near, driving range on the highway drops to 110KM (140KM off highway) and worst is the charging time, it takes over 3 hours (in cold weather) to recharge the battery on a CCS 50KW/h charging station and not 45 minutes as announced by Mazda! You need to stop 3 hrs at a fast DC charger or 10hrs on a AC charger, to drive only one hour! Imagine, if occasionally you have to go just over 100km away from home! Totally useless! Why Mazda did such a terrible mistake???

It's a shame that manufacturers are being forced to produce these vehicles before the technology is efficable.

This is sad

Leave it in euroland.... for the price of it was a pointless review of a pointless EV.... SMH...

Stupid speed for that test. Nobody drives at 112.6 km/h.
