There 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.
Our favourite trim provides plenty of kit, including an 8.8in infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a head-up display, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
