2021 Mazda MX-30 Starts At $33,470, Owners Can Borrow Another Mazda For Up To 10 Days

Mazda’s 2021 MX-30 will start at $33,470, along with a $1,175 destination fee. You also get $500 back in the form of charging credit. Power is from a 35.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, with which the MX-30 gets up to 100 miles (160 km) of range per charge, according to the EPA.
