Mazda reimagines the green revolution by reintroducing the rotary engine after an 11-year hiatus, presenting the innovative hybrid model MX-30 Rotary-EV, anticipated to turn heads in the automotive market.
According to a report by Asahi, Mazda unveiled its plug-in gas-electric hybrid vehicle, the MX-30 Rotary-EV, to mark the first time it has mounted a rotary engine on a passenger car in 11 years. The company claims that the MX-30 Rotary-EV boasts an impressive driving range among cars in its class.
Features and Performance
Wakako Uefuji, a Mazda official in charge of the MX-30, states that the rotary engine was the ideal choice to accommodate the vehicle's body alongside a motor drive system, ensuring a certain level of maximum operational distance, Nikkei reported.
This modified version of Mazda's MX-30 electric sports utility model, released in 2020, combines an electric motor's effectiveness with a rotary engine's power. Prices for the MX-30 Rotary-EV range from 4.2 million yen ($28,000) to 4.9 million yen after tax.
The Mazda MX-30 Rotary-EV has an impressive maximum driving range, offering up to 107 kilometers on a single battery charge. Additionally, its unique rotary engine enables the vehicle to cover a projected distance of over 800 kilometers with the help of a 50-liter gas tank that generates electricity. This hybrid model also serves as a backup power source during emergencies and unforeseen circumstances.
Market Availability
Japanese consumers can anticipate the arrival of the Mazda MX-30 Rotary-EV in November, with an initial monthly release of 300 units. Furthermore, Mazda plans to introduce the hybrid model in Europe during autumn, expanding the availability of this exciting new vehicle.
Mazda, which plans to launch its first exclusive electric vehicle (EV) in 2027, according to an EconoTimes report, is the first automaker to mass-produce rotary engines in the 1960s.
However, issues related to fuel efficiency and other factors led to the discontinuation of production in 2012. Despite this setback, Mazda engineers remained devoted to reintroducing the rotary engine.
