$34,999 negotiable. But this is only slightly more than Mazda themselves have offered me. Will also happily accept bitcoin / crypto as payment. Was $68500 new, 1 year ago. Priced to sell, reduced from $50,000. Can also point you towards finance if desired.
ODO: 12,000kms.
Colour: 3-Tone Ceramic Metallic
Location: North Shore, Auckland

 

12 months old, NZ New, first owner. Balance of 5 year free servicing and warranty.
Immaculate, as new condition. We haven't even removed the protective plastic off the touch screen. We have also used protectors over the floor mats. Used to commute to work (underground parking). It's been very well looked after.

 

A very nice driving car, with lots of added features and a fantastic sound system.

 

My biggest complaint would be suicide doors with young children, makes things a bit tricky to get in and out of.

 

Any questions, or to arrange a viewing just get in contact.

Short answer 200km as above. But a more detailed answer - depends on driving conditions. Weather also comes into play, but we don't have snow etc in Auckland so it's pretty much as below.

According to the EV-Database.org
City - Mild Weather 250 km
Highway - Mild Weather 150 km
Combined - Mild Weather 195 km

 

We were pretty consistently getting around 200km where about 60-70% of the driving was on motorway. But sure if you were driving with no traffic doing 100km+ on the motorway only, it'd drop.

 

Keep in mind ideally you'd want to run between 20-80% battery charge (if you wanted to maximize battery health/longevity). Which gives you a very comfortable 120km range for day to day driving. Not many that are commuting more than that a day riiight...?

 

And if you did want to take it on a longer trip out of Auckland you'd fully charge it and probably bank on about 170km range, and charge it at your destination or use a fast charger to continue on.

 

Anyway I think it's a good compromise, more battery equals higher cost, and weight. And it's big enough not to have EV range anxiety.

FTFY. Would struggle to get up steep hills if the battery could only supply 35kW.

Someone has to, otherwise we’re all stuck with second hand Japanese imports.

 

But I agree, when I look what I paid vs what I’d get as a trade on my 2 year old car, I seriously need to consider whether I want another brand new car. But then there’s the “hmmm, new car smell…” factor.

 

What the MX30 has going for it is that it’s a good looking car and not ‘common’.

You can buy the new car smell spray if you like it that much. :-D

 

Nice not being 'common', but double edged sword. I think that's largely why resale value has dropped so significantly. I've had plenty of people comment that they had no idea Mazda did an EV.

 

It really is a nice car. It has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto unlike Tesla's, and also has the right amount of physical buttons for things, climate, stereo etc. You don't need to dig into menus on the touch screen to open your glove box. Usually I get in a car and can find many silly design decisions. This they've really done a nice job (other than the suicide doors, but user preference I guess).

 

No ludicrous mode though, but it's plenty nippy and fun to drive.

Mazda has the best driver controls across the market IMHO.

 

As the OP mentioned, their ability to have a good layout of Climate and Entertainment controls both on the dash and steering wheel are superior to most.  The “jog wheel” in the centre console is the quickest, easiest I’ve ever used for anything phone, entertainment and general settings.

 

(and it’s just eaiser to press or turn a couple knobs within 1 second without looking for anything climate).

 

and…(yeh I’m a Mazda fanboy), the steering wheel controls have everything you need with a simple press…no clicking about to find anything…
