The Mazda MX-30 is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Mazda and sold as a battery electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or mild hybrid (MHEV) variant.[4] Based on the CX-30, it was unveiled at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show.[5] Production of the vehicle, which is Mazda's first mass-produced electric car, began at their Ujina factory on 19 May 2020.[6]

Mazda is one of the first and only automakers currently producing a Wankel engine with a rotary piston, it was last delivered in the Mazda RX-8 and is sold in the Mazda MX-30 since October 2023.[7] It works as a generator and increases range with the support of an electric motor.
