The Makoto has a heated steering wheel, Bose sound system, 360-degree camera system and sunroof.

The MX-30 uses a 35.5kWh battery, which can provide a range of 124 miles (WLTP). An 80% charge can be obtained in 36 minutes using a 50kW rapid charger.

Its electric motor develops 145PS and can accelerate the car from 0-62mph in 9.7 seconds.

Despite its compact footprint, Mazda has designed the interior to feel spacious by using a floating centre console and rear suicide doors that reveal a pillar-less opening.
