Mazda MX-30
Quirky is the middle name of this electric crossover from Mazda.
The Mazda MX-30 is, in a word, quirky. It looks a bit like a crossover, and it has odd rear-hinged back doors that barely make it any easier to get into the tiny rear seats. Best to think of it as a coupe-like vehicle. It’s not cheap to buy, either, and the range between charges is unimpressive. However, the interior quality is exceptional and it’s smooth and comfortable to drive. It’ll be joined this year by a clever plug-in hybrid version using a compact rotary engine as a range-extender.
