The new MX-30 introduces all-electric drive technology to the Mazda range. Called e-Skyactiv, the drive system's combination of electric motor and 35.5kWh lithium-ion battery equips the MX30 with a uniquely smooth, quiet and seamless all-electric driving experience and a range of 200km (WLTP combined), far exceeding the average daily drive of European customers.The MX-30's ' Human Modern' styling concept and Freestyle centre pillar-less doors break new ground for the beautiful, handcrafted forms of Kodo design. The interior features a floating centre console incorporating Mazda's first touch-screen air-conditioning control panel, and unique materials designed to minimize environmental impact - door trim using fibres made from recycled plastic bottles and cork harvested from the bark of trees without felling.Combined with the MX-30’s inherently smooth all-electric driving behaviour, the adoption of electric G-Vectoring Control Plus (e-GVC Plus) results in even greater refinement of the Mazda driving experience.The MX-30 features an enhanced suite of i-Activsense features. And despite adopting freestyle doors with no centre pillar, its bodyshell combines high strength - including a carefully designed structure to protect the high-voltage battery - with efficient energy absorption for excellent collision safety performance.
Mazda began its journey as a manufacturer of cork products and rose to the challenges of rebuilding itself and the community in Hiroshima after World War II. Since then, they not only accept challenges, they are driven by them. Discover Mazda's milestones and find out how their history has defined their unique approach to automotive design and driver-centred performance.
Mazda Motor Corporation celebrated its 100th anniversary of its founding on January 30, 2020. It all started in 1920, when Mazda was a Hiroshima cork producer until Jujiro Matsuda, an industrialist, took charge of Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd in 1921 and transformed the business first into a machine tool producer and then a vehicle manufacturer.
At the end of an exciting weekend of celebrations at Alfa Romeo, relive with us the most thrilling moments of the TRIBE DAYS - the international event which has gathered hundreds of brand’s fans from all around Europe to celebrate the unbreakable bond that links Alfa Romeo to the Monza Circuit.At the celebrations’ climax, two iconic parades: on Saturday afternoon, 112 historic cars have shown off on the iconic Monza track; on Sunday morning, 112 historic cars and 100 Giulia GTAs have departed from the brand's spiritual home, the Arese Museum, to pass by some of Milan's most iconic locations and reach the Monza Racetrack, where all participants have watched the Grand Prix supporting the Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN.
The MINI Concept Aceman interior is also dominated by a reduced design with clear contours and carefully executed details. It combines innovative technology with newly interpreted, yet typical MINI design features.The concept car’s cockpit is consistently reduced to the bare essentials, just as the designer of the classic MINI had in mind in 1959. Alec Issigonis designed an interior which, in addition to the seats, steering wheel and gear lever, needed nothing more than a central round instrument and toggle switch bar to experience unrivalled driving pleasure.Wide-open and gently curved surfaces in the area of the door panels and the dashboard give a generous feeling of space. The large panoramic glass roof of the MINI Concept Aceman provides an ambience flooded in light. Its glass surface is patterned by the transverse and diagonal struts of the roof rack, whose structure picks up on the Union Jack flag motif, reminding us of the brand’s origins when gazing up at the sky from the interior.
