It’s no secret Mazda is developing an all-electric vehicle that is scheduled to launch in late 2020. The automaker is currently testing its first-ever EV underneath a Mazda CX-30 body shell but when the production model arrives next year it will be a standalone vehicle with its own design and likely a dedicated platform as well. Codenamed the Mazda e-TPV (Electric Technology Prove-Out Vehicle), the electric motor fitted to this prototype delivers 105 kW (141 hp / 143 PS) and 265 Nm (195 lb-ft) of torque. Electricity is stored in a 35.5-kWh lithium-ion battery.
From the outset, the development team behind the Mazda MX-30 wanted to create a car that would become a partner to its owner. It should beg to be driven daily, and every time customers get behind the wheel, their affection for it should grow and they should feel more and more themselves. Everything about the model, from the styling that breeds a sense of familiarity to the open-feeling cabin that sets the mind free, is uncompromisingly designed around the user.The introduction of the all-new Mazda3 in 2019 marked the beginning of a new phase for Kodo design. Under the Car-as-Art ethos, Mazda is striving to further expand the design language's expressive range and raise the artistic quality of its designs. With the Mazda MX-30, while retaining the beautiful, handcrafted forms of Kodo as a base, the design team also explored an expressive direction more in touch with emerging new values and lifestyles. That process resulted in the design of MX-30. The Human Modern concept spurred a number of unprecedented approaches. The exterior is uncompromisingly simple to emphasize its beauty as a solid mass. The styling creates a friendly expression, and the cabin design, with its framed top and freestyle doors, embodies an image of lightness. The interior aims to give occupants a sense of being "enveloped in openness," with a floating console and unique materials designed to minimize environmental impact. The MX-30 embodies an expressive direction in car design that helps customers discover their natural selves through the process of living with the car.
Mazda CX-30 is the second model in the company's next-generation line-up. The compact SUV encapsulates the Mazda ownership experience, combining uniquely elegant Kodo styling with human-centric interior design and Jinba Ittai driving pleasure of unprecedented quality.4,395 mm long, 1,795 mm wide, 1,540 mm high and with a 2,655 mm wheelbase, the Mazda CX-30 enters a new market segment for Mazda. Positioned between the CX-3 and the long-established and popular CX-5, it fulfils the requirements of customers who wish to combine the compact, urban-friendly dimensions of the former with the space and practicality of the latter.The new Mazda CX-30 showcases a more mature Kodo design language which retains vitality but now targets greater styling prestige through the elegance and purity of a minimalist aesthetic inspired by the purest traditions of Japanese art and the beauty of space between objects .The human-centric interior design combines a snug, focused driver's cockpit area with a clean, airy and open cabin space for passengers. Newly developed technologies such as 8-speaker Mazda or 12-speaker Bose audio systems have been carefully integrated with premium materials and painstaking fit and finish to create an interior ambience of high quality and genuine refinement.The new compact SUV features Mazda's new-generation Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture, which harnesses people's inherent balance ability. In conjunction with smart technologies such as an evolved i-Activ all-wheel-drive (AWD) system which works in harmony with G-Vectoring Control (GVC) to control torque distribution between the front and rear wheels, this promotes an even more engaging Jinba Ittai driving experience.
