The Mazda MX-30 lineup is simple. EV is the well-equipped entry trim, with the full electric powertrain, reverse-opening rear doors, heated front seats, and core safety technology. Premium Plus is the upscale trim, adding richer audio, more parking-camera coverage, a heated steering wheel, and extra low-speed safety features. Both are front-wheel-drive electric crossovers with an EPA-estimated 100-mile range.
The Base Model trim level, sold as EV, is the well-equipped starting point with the MX-30’s distinctive doors, warm cabin, and core electric driving experience.
Best for: City-focused EV shoppers who want comfort and useful technology without the Premium Plus upgrades.

Across its two-year U.S. run, the MX-30 came in EV and Premium Plus trims. Both use the same battery, front electric motor, body design, and front-wheel-drive layout.
The EV is the standard trim throughout the U.S. model run. It has the full electric powertrain, reverse-opening rear doors, heated front seats, a power driver's seat with memory, smartphone connectivity, a head-up display, and adaptive cruise control.
Premium Plus is the more fully equipped trim across the U.S. model run. It keeps the EV trim's powertrain and adds Bose audio, a heated steering wheel, a surround-view camera, front parking sensors, keyless entry, and extra driver-assistance features.
Premium Plus adds comfort, audio, parking, and safety equipment rather than extra performance. Its main upgrades are Bose audio, a heated steering wheel, a surround-view camera, front parking sensors, Blind Spot Assist, and front cross-traffic alert.
Yes. Both trims use the same 35.5-kWh battery, front electric motor, and front-wheel-drive layout. Moving to Premium Plus changes the equipment, not the MX-30's performance or basic driving mission.
The EV trim is the straightforward commuter choice. It has the same electric powertrain as Premium Plus and already includes heated front seats, a power driver's seat with memory, adaptive cruise control, and smartphone connectivity.
Premium Plus has the more useful parking aids. Its surround-view camera shows the area around the vehicle, while front parking sensors help judge close obstacles.
Premium Plus has the upgraded Bose 12-speaker audio system. The EV trim does not include that premium setup.
Yes. The EV trim includes heated front seats. It also has an eight-way power driver's seat with power lower-back adjustment and memory settings.
Yes. Both U.S. trims include an 8.8-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Premium Plus has the heated steering wheel. The standard EV trim includes heated front seats but not this steering-wheel upgrade.
Premium Plus adds Blind Spot Assist and front cross-traffic alert, along with a surround-view camera and front parking sensors for better awareness at low speeds. The EV trim already includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go.
Yes. The windshield-projected head-up display is included on the standard EV trim, so it is also part of Premium Plus. It puts key driving information closer to the driver's line of sight.
