Here in Europe we know it as the first 100% model electric of the brand, but in other markets such as Japan the Mazda MX-30 it is much more than a purely electric model. He SUV Hiroshima’s signature coupé style is offered with a Skyactiv-G variant with mild hybridization, although this is not the only one.
And it is that with the model about to land in the United States, Mazda is coming to that market of a version expected for years and that represents the return of his famous rotary motor, albeit in a different way from that of the brand’s sport in recent decades.
Because the US MX-30 comes with an unprecedented plug-in hybrid variant that includes a motor shaky gasoline to support the electrical part. This is confirmed by the brand itself, our colleagues from Car and Driver in U.S, where this version will accompany the 100% electric Mx-30 that we already know in Europe.
A larger electric range, with a special motor
Mazda has not yet provided specifications for this new version, although, as we have already begun to know with the first data from this long-awaited return, it is more than likely that the rotary engine plays a similar role to that of other models extensive electrical range Like the BMW i3 REX or the Chevrolet Volt.
In other words, the wobble will not drive the wheels directly, but will serve as power and expand autonomy of a battery that one 100% electric powertrain. In this way, this model will be the same as the 100% electric model we know here, only with the addition of a rotary motor that will serve to further extend the electric autonomy of this electric car without having to stop to connect it.
Only for the United States
When this version is officially in the North American market, which unfortunately seems that for now it will be the only one to receive this interesting version that confirms that the famous Wankel engine is officially back.
