I drove the new 2020 Mazda CX-30 about a year ago and explained to readers how it fit in between Mazda’s CX-3 and CX-5 in both size and price. The CX-30 is based on the same platform that also underpins the Mazda3 hatchback and sedan.

The Mazda MX-30 represents the Japanese manufacturer’s first toe in the water of the electric car market, but even in a sector that’s increasingly teeming with rivals, this small SUV has no trouble standing out.
Sharp, stylish design, unusual rear-hinged doors, an engaging driving experience and a top class safety score are the big selling points, but the limited range and poor rear passenger accommodation will deter many. Think of the MX-30 as a fun, fashionable city car, or second car, and it makes sense. As a small SUV for families, it’s a much tougher sell.
