Mazda reveals first electric vehicle
Mazda Motor Corporation has unveiled its first mass-production electric vehicle (EV), named the Mazda MX-30, at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show.
The MX-30 is the automaker’s third new-generation model.
Aiming to offer an experience that lets customers relax and be themselves and deepens the bond between car and owner, the model offers a creative time and space that invites new ways of using a vehicle.
Under the “car-as-art” ethos, the styling of MX-30 aims to raise its artistic value and expand the expressive range of Mazda’s Kodo-Soul of Motion design language.

Based on a concept of “human modern,” the design stays grounded in the beautifully honed, handcrafted forms of Kodo, yet aligns itself with changing values and new lifestyles.
Spaces in and around the centre console give the cabin an open feel, and environmentally conscious materials such as cork and fabrics made from recycled materials are used in ways that bring out their natural appeal, creating a comfortable interior space.
In addition, the MX-30 adopts freestyle centre-opening double doors, so customers can invent new and creative ways of using the car.
Plans to launch to the southern Africa market are still to be confirmed.
