Two stories about where car propulsion was heading, arriving in the same news cycle. The Mazda MX-30 is Mazda's first proper electric vehicle, and it arrives with a smaller battery than most rivals and a design that divides opinion. The Hyundai NEXO represents a continued commitment to hydrogen as a parallel path.
Jenny runs through what the MX-30 offers in the Australian context: the entry price, the range figure that Mazda is betting buyers can work within, and the rotary range-extender option that was not yet confirmed for local sale at the time of filming. The NEXO gets context alongside it for buyers tracking both technologies.
This one is useful for understanding the broader EV landscape in 2021. Both cars were early bets on where automotive technology was heading. The Mazda got more conservative with battery size than most expected. The NEXO remained a fascinating niche that is still finding its footing.
