Mazda MX-30 Rotary Plug-In Hybrid - First Drive and Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Mazda's latest edition to join the range is a Plug-In Hybrid unlike any other. Set to extend the range of the MX-30 BEV with the addition of a rotary engine, how will this vehicle feel on the road and will the rotary engine improve this SUV?

You do not have many viewers (yet!). But this short overview of the MX30 REV was one of the most likeable I have seen so far!! Your way of presentation is outstanding, honestly! Try to keep that up and more success will ensue! Greetings from Germany....!
EREVs & PHEVs are completely different concepts. EREV is by far the most common EV in China so you don't have any of the range anxiety. For some reason, it is yet to catch on in the uk. People here like to faff around with PHEV instead. Only the BMW i3 had the option of a 647cc 2-cyl petrol engine as a range extender.
the mx30 got the best of both worlds ev and gasoline props to you for reviewing it
I wish she would keep her hands on the wheel in the correct position.
The dialog audio is coming out of the left channel only (seems the music at the start is not affected by this, comes out of left and right). I'm surprised this made it past final checks. Maybe there were no final checks? Anyway, car looks interesting to me :)
Thanks for pointing out, we will give the video and extra audio check for channels on our next video! Thanks
If you want to grow your channel, improve your audio. A lot of people will switch off due to the poor sound quality.
The all electric mx 30 had a pretty disapointing electric range so they have made this with less than half the electric range,oops
now if they still had the 100 mile electric range with this system , success...what ev car makers seem to have forgotten is charging at home is the cheap to run and convenient bit, now i know people will say ,what if you cant charge at home, simple dont get an ev.
Rotary+plugin hybrid = the worst of both worlds...
Lol yeah I love Mazda and an RX-7 would be awesome to own...but I would engine swap it immediately. A rotary and a hybrid - that's complexity I would never want to deal with.
I’ve been driving a Hybrid which is traditionally more complex than this vehicle for over 10 years - a 2008 Toyota Hybrid.
Yes, that iconic model that was derided by all automobile purists and spawned many a myth about how terrible Hybrid cars were. Of course, none of the myths turned out to be true. The 15 year old battery still works perfectly (probably has the best ever Battery Management System installed by default by Toyota). 152k miles and nothing on the drivetrain has failed (apart from noisy front wheel bearings 10k miles ago). That’s wear and tear.
The Mazda MX-30 R-EV has a Wankel Rotary Extender serving solely as a generator to the battery, the latter which powers the wheels via an electric motor.
The Rotary engine NEVER drives the wheels directly. This is a new engine designed to run at no more than 4,500rpm max - when running as a generator only.
Those rotor tips will last a great deal longer than most might imagine - and you won’t be running that Wankel Engine every moment either - it’s meant to be an Auxiliary Power Unit to get you to your home charger - or to your nearest charger wherever you are.
Let’s dispense with the largely unfounded and ridiculous myths about Wankel engines and EVs.
I suspect this vehicle is going to last, long term.
That Wankel engine running at a smooth constant speed NOT under terrible load from a traditional vehicle transmission system is going to work out better than most realise - Mazda have done their homework this time.
This is a vehicle to watch - it’s a unique well built wonder.
Worst of both worlds? Imagine being that guy who's probably never owned either with such a heavy opinion. I owned a plug-in hybrid and guess how much it cost me in fuel per month to operate that car vs fuel cost in daily driving my 1/2 American truck?
I thought MX-30 was the worst EV, but hey this is even worser, maybe if people sell them for 10k euro used somebody will buy it.
Great English.
@@rret6885Op clearly doesn't understand the benefits of PHEV.
Worser. Great college education
Poor driving technique. Never cross hands on steering wheel.
this is the worst car of the year
Very well supported conclusion.
Why?
Very ignorant statement with ZERO evidence to back up your claim.
