Mazda begins its transition to electricity in Colombia with the new MX-30 and our country becomes the first in the region where it is already marketed. This model already has wide international recognition and also shows all the know-how of the Japanese company in this type of technologies.
Although it shares several structural components with the CX-30, its design is completely different and displays a very striking appearance. Particularly noteworthy are the black underbody, the shape of the LED headlights and stops, the two-tone roof with a special trim and the 18-inch blacked-out wheels.
But perhaps the distinctive element is the Freestyle doors, where the rear ones open in the opposite direction to the direction of travel. This facilitates access to the cabin, especially to the rear seats, as they also have an opening angle of 80°To top it off, the trunk has a capacity of 311 liters.
In terms of dimensions, this crossover It is 4.39 meters long, 1.79 meters wide, 1.55 meters high, and with a wheelbase of 2.65 meters. This puts it in the crosshairs of rivals like the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, the BYD Yuan Plus, and the Hyundai Kona EV, which have also just arrived in the country.
Inside, the most striking thing in the MX-30 that Mazda configured for Colombia is the sustainable approach in its construction. There is cork surfaces on the center console, fabrics made from recycled PET bottles on the top of the doors and even the seams of the upholstery are made with recycled threads.
For the driver it has been arranged a fully digital environment, with a seven-inch information display, an 8.8” TFT central screen for the multimedia center Mazda Connect and a 7" touchscreen for the automatic climate control functions. All of this is complemented by a Head-up Display.
Another striking element is the floating center console, which allows for several controls to be closer to the steering wheel and leaves room for some storage compartments. The 12-speaker Bose sound and the multi-command button to manage the multimedia equipment.
Together with the slim three-spoke steering wheel, the MX-30 It arrives in Colombia with the excellent level of finishes and adjustment to which we are accustomed. MazdaFor now, only one version has been configured (Grand Touring), which also has an electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory.
Other accessories worth highlighting are smart door opening, push-button ignition, light and rain sensor, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, folding rear seat, sunroof, seven airbags, ISOFIX anchors, ABS with EBD, stability and traction control, electric parking brake with AutoHold, reversing camera with sensors at both ends and tire pressure sensor.
This security provision is complemented by the scheme of i-ActivSense driving aidsThe suite includes lane keeping assist, front and rear cross-traffic alert, forward and reverse low-speed intelligent braking, blind spot monitoring, fatigue detection, 360° exterior views, adaptive cruise control, and adaptive high beams.
We previously detailed all the technology incorporated in its e-SkyActiv EV electric powertrain. But it is worth remembering that it delivers a maximum power of 107 kW (143.49 hp) and a instant torque of 265 NmIt is powered by a Panasonic lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 35.5 kWh.
Mazda points out that the MX-30 It can be recharged at any public station in Colombia with a CCS1 connector or a Type 1 plug. It only takes about 36 minutes to recover between the 20% and 80% range with 50 kW fast charging. Or about 5 and a half hours to recharge the 100% with slow charging of 7.2 kW.
To complete there is a four-wheel disc brakes, a system of regenerative braking with five retention levels, an “engine pedal” that helps better control acceleration, a mechanical sound generator in the passenger compartment and an evolved version of the G-Vectoring Plus system, called e-GVC+.
In the end, the crossover accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds and its maximum speed is 140 km/h. With the new MX-30Mazda enters the 100% electric vehicle segment in Colombia, which is increasingly expanding with more options for the benefit of those interested in this type of technology.

Mazda already offers in Colombia the new CX-50, a brand-new model that complements the CX-5. It's an SUV that stands out for its adventurous design, although it shares its platform and other components with the CX-30, creating a more robust vehicle.
Aesthetically, its Kodo design It emphasizes the wide stance, muscular fenders, and low roofline to create a very striking vehicle. This is combined with squarer lines, more horizontal headlights and taillights, a large front grille, and thick underbody skid plates.
The result is a vehicle that is more imposing than the CX-5 and, in terms of dimensions, is one of the largest in the segment. It measures 4.72 meters long, 1.92 meters wide, 1.62 meters high and with a wheelbase of 2.81 meters. It accommodates five passengers and offers a 456-liter trunk of capacity.
The interior follows the trend of other models from the brand, with a clear focus on luxurious finishes and a minimalist style. The numerous metallic trims, the slim three-spoke steering wheel, and the very comfortable seats are particularly striking. The cushions are made of black or terracotta perforated leather..
At the time of launch, Mazda offers three versions of the new CX-50 in Colombia: Grand Touring (with 4×2 or AWD option) and Grand Touring LX AWD. Both have plenty of storage space, and for the first time in a model from the brand, they come with a panoramic sunroof.
Other elements that come from the GT version are roof rails, intelligent door opening, folding mirrors, electrically operated tailgate, light and rain sensor, dual-zone climate control, multimedia center with 10-inch touchscreen, multi-command button and 12-speaker Bose sound.
Added to this is a seven-inch digital driver information display, with Head-up Display, electrically adjustable front seats, wireless charger, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, 20-inch two-tone wheels, with 245/45 R20 tires, and a small spare wheel.
As expected, the safety package includes seven airbags, ABS with EBD, stability and traction control, full-LED headlights, an electronic parking brake with AutoHold, a tire pressure sensor, ISOFIX anchor points, and a rearview camera with sensors at both ends. A variety of driving aids are also included.
These are included in the i-ActivSense assistance suite, such as adaptive lights, lane departure and assist, intelligent front braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, fatigue detection, and adaptive cruise control, among the most notable features.
For the version CX-50 Grand Touring LX, Mazda has reserved items such as ventilated front seats, driver memories, terracotta upholstery and the i-ActivSense suite is complemented by reverse emergency braking, a 360° view monitor and traffic assistance.
On the mechanical side, it is striking that the rear suspension is a torsion bar, rather than an independent arrangement. The entire range has the same GVC+ function and uses the well-known aspirated engine SkyActiv-G 2.5 liters and four cylinders, which produces 188 hp of power at 6,000 rpm and a torque of 252 Nm at 4,000 rpm.
The brand points out that it can operate without problems with regular gasoline and is coupled to the SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission six-speed with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Models equipped with i-Activ AWD all-wheel drive They have the Mi-Drive driving mode selector, with Sport and Off-Road programs.
With a weight that ranges between 1,622 and 1,695 kilosThe mechanical system configured by the brand offers an optimal balance between performance and operating costs. However, a turbo engine would be a good option later, as well as an electrified option, given the positive reception hybrid SUVs have received in the country.
With the arrival of the new CX-50 to Colombia, Mazda refreshes its SUV lineup and paves the way for the appearance of new models, such as the large and luxurious CX-60 and CX-90. It's worth remembering that this imposing SUV It is produced in the United States, at the brand's plant with Toyota in Huntsville, Alabama.
