Mazda MX-30
Mazda MX-30 SE-L Lux
The Mazda MX-30 SE-L Lux is among the more affordable SUVs in this comparison. Its motorway range of around 104 miles is below most rivals in the figures shown here, so consider charging access and journey length.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 126 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Premium interior quality with high-quality materials, stitching, and cork trim that exceeds competitors like the Nissan Leaf and Peugeot e2008. Severely limited real-world range of 95-120 miles, worsened significantly by winter driving and climate control use (15-20 mile penalty).

What Owners Say
BalancedOwners Love
- Premium interior quality with high-quality materials, stitching, and cork trim that exceeds competitors like the Nissan Leaf and Peugeot e2008
- Excellent standard equipment including adaptive cruise control, sat nav, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, heads-up display, and comprehensive safety features
- Smooth, quiet, and refined driving experience with good handling, comfortable seats, and impressive NVH quality
Watch Out For
- Severely limited real-world range of 95-120 miles, worsened significantly by winter driving and climate control use (15-20 mile penalty)
- Poor rapid charging speeds, particularly after AM036A software update which throttles from 36kW to 12kW, requiring 70+ minutes to charge 45-80%
- Inefficient design with poor efficiency ratings (2.9-3.5 miles/kWh), limiting practicality for longer journeys
Owner Tips
- Only purchase as a second car for daily commutes under 60-80 miles; ensure reliable home charging is available to avoid expensive public charging
- Shop used market aggressively at £15-16k rather than accepting dealer markups of £8-9k; look for pre-registered models with service history verified
- Be aware of the AM036A software update impact on charging speed and check service records; consider GT Sport Tech trim for reversing camera and adaptive headlights if budget allows

Detailed degradation forecast
After 3 years, the Mazda MX-30 SE-L Lux is estimated to retain around 93.2% battery health, giving a real-world range of approximately 98 miles in summer and 73 miles in winter. After 5 years, the Mazda MX-30 SE-L Lux is estimated to retain around 89.6% battery health, giving a real-world range of approximately 94 miles in summer and 70 miles in winter. After 8 years, the Mazda MX-30 SE-L Lux is estimated to retain around 84.2% battery health, giving a real-world range of approximately 89 miles in summer and 66 miles in winter. The battery is covered by a 8-year warranty or 160,000 km, whichever comes first. This car uses a Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) battery. For best longevity, charge to 80-90% for daily use.
