[Auto] Mazda MX-30 e-SKYACTIV-G: Goodbye electricity, hello hybridization!

[#Steeven.™]

The launch of the Mazda MX-30 has marked a turning point in the Hiroshima home. With its development they entered fully into electrification, the paradigm that will rewrite the history of the automotive sector. But also, they do it by entering their style, which has nothing to do with what their competitors wear. Thus, the MX-30 presents a series of peculiarities and characteristics that make it an exclusive as well as innovative product.

The downside that perhaps could be put has to do with its autonomy. Still, when you understand its approach, the 200 kilometers it offers are justified. Also, we were all looking forward to the birth of the range extender version with a rotary generator. However, we have found an unexpected surprise in the form of a mild hybrid version: with all of you, we present to you the new Mazda MX-30 e-SKYACTIV-G.

The technique of the Mazda MX-30 e-SKYACTIV-G is shared with the "3"

Yes, yes, you have not misread: Mazda MX-30 e-SKYACTIV-G. This model debuted yesterday afternoon at an event called the Automobile Council that took place in Tokyo. As announced by the brand, this version is presented as part of a multi-solution strategy to apply a different type of energy in each region of the world. This is included in the "Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030 Declaration" and seeks to reduce CO2 emissions.

And you will wonder how is the technique of the Mazda MX-30 e-SKYACTIV-G? The answer is simple and you already know it. Specifically, it makes use of the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 block, allied to the mild hybrid M HYBRID system. The electrical part is carried out by a 7 CV motor that is powered by a 24 V lithium ion battery with a 0.17 kWh capacity. To steal the least space, the firm's engineers have installed it under the rear seats.

For now we do not know the final performance that this combination will offer. Mazda has limited itself to announcing that this powertrain will offer a smooth and quiet start in addition to offering a high-quality driving feel. All in all, and although we expected an electric version with a higher level of autonomy, this is the logical step. When we have more data we will tell you, because we still do not know if it will arrive, or not, in Europe.
