The model
Read full Mazda MX-30 R-EV reviewThere are more practical plug-in hybrid SUVs out there, so if space is a high priority the Mazda MX-30 R-EV is probably not for you. On the plus side, it drives well and has a smart, well-equipped interior. Thanks to its petrol engine, it’s far more usable every day than the all-electric version, helping to make up for the higher price.
