The MX-30's contemporary styling is unmistakably Mazda, while also integrating distinctive design elements like freestyle doors and a floating center console to convey the vehicle's openness. Cork is used in the interior to add warmth and honor Mazda's history as a cork manufacturer.

The 2023 Mazda MX-30 EV comes with a number of standard features that will give the drivers and passengers peace of mind while on the road. It is equipped with an 8.8-inch center display featuring the latest Mazda Connect system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. All Mazda MX-30 models come equipped with a wide range of i-Activsense safety features, such as Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Alert, High Beam Control, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Smart Brake Support, and Rear Direction Base Safety (Smart Brake Support-Reverse and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking).
