Mazda launched its fully electric car, the MX-30, in 2020. He said that in the future, a hybrid model of this vehicle with both internal combustion and electric motor will be on sale. But so far, it seems that he has lagged far behind the sales success he wanted. This can negatively affect their future plans.
Mazda MX-30 sold only 7 units in July!
The electric car transformation is taking place at a rapid pace all over the world. However, some countries do this at a much more advanced level than others. For example, only 0.81 percent of the cars sold in Turkey this year are electric. With this ratio, it is in the last place in Europe.
However, this rate we have mentioned is 12 percent in France, 13.37 percent in England, 19.26 percent in the Netherlands and 79 percent in Norway.
MG brings its affordable Tesla competitor to Europe!
MG is bringing its affordable electric car, which it introduced last month, to Europe. Here are the MG 4 features and price…
Mazda MX-30 is a complete disappointment in this regard. The company’s new car attracted all the attention because of its reverse opening rear doors, sporty design and electric. But due to a single negative reason, it was able to sell 7 units last month.
This negative reason is the range. The vehicle’s 105 kW (143 HP) engine and 265 Nm torque can travel 100 miles, or 170 km, with its 35.5 kWh batteries. Of course this is factory data. In reality, it has a fuel consumption of 21.3 kWh/100km in the city, 24.6 kWh/100km outside the city and an average of 22.7 kWh/100 km.
Especially in many states such as the USA, where the distance between two points is much longer, cars that offer an average range of 150 km do not have a chance. Moreover, the price of this vehicle can reach 35 thousand dollars.
On the other hand, when we look at Chinese competitors such as the MG 4, which offer similar prices, we see that 350-450km range and 125 kW and 150 kW engine options are offered. In other words, vehicles that are both more powerful and able to travel longer are sold cheaper than Mazda. This is reflected directly in the sales data.
