Mazda confirms UK pricing and specification for plug-in hybrid MX-30

Mazda’s new plug-in hybrid MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV will join the line-up this summer priced from £31,250 at price parity with the all-electric version.

The new MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV features a 17.8kWh battery and 830cc rotary engine generator. The new plug-in hybrid has a 53-mile pure EV range and it has a WLTP CO2 output of 21g/km.

The new model is offered in three grades, as well as the limited-edition Edition R model.     

The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is compatible with both AC charging and rapid DC charging, meaning three-phase AC charging takes around 50mins, while DC rapid charging can be completed in around 25 minutes.

Available to order now, for UK arrival in the summer, the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is offered in the same grades as the all-electric e-Skyactiv MX-30: Prime-Lime, Exclusive-Line and Makoto – while bespoke to the R-EV, the range is topped by the Edition R.

Makoto R-EV models demand a £450 price premium over the pure electric version and at the top of the MX-30 range is the R-EV only Edition R - priced at £37,950. The Edition R versions are limited to 400 examples in the UK.

Jeremy Thomson, Mazda Motors UK managing director, says: “The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is the perfect solution for customers who want an electric car for everyday usage but the flexibility to undertake longer journeys without the reliance on charging infrastructure.

“It’s the latest example of how Mazda’s Multi Solution Approach ensures we have cars to suit all our customer’s needs by improving environmental performance with a combination of electrification and clever internal combustion engine technologies.”

While the Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv EV is on sale and in UK dealerships now, the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is available to order now, with the first UK cars due to arrive this summer.
