Starting this fall, Mazda will bring their first fully electric vehicle to select Canadian markets. Available in British Columbia and Quebec only, at least initially, the MX-30 is a small and quirky crossover that previews a new powertrain offering for the brand, and also the return of an old Mazda specialty.
But first, here are the details on the battery-electric version of the MX-30 that will lead Mazda’s electrification efforts. Roughly the same length as the combustion-powered CX-30 that Mazda already sells in Canada, the MX-30 is the size of your average compact hatchback. Instead of four full-size doors, it instead gets two conventional doors and two small doors that open to the rear, like the old RX-8 sports car.
