After a long rumor, the “rotary engine ” was finally being used in real cars again with the Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV you’re all seeing now.

The Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is built on the same foundation as the 100% electric MX-30 , but this time it has a modified engine. In hybrid power a combination of electric motors and a rotary engine that many people miss

But even though the rotary engine will be a single rotary engine,

With a volume of 803 cc, a compression ratio of 11.9:1, it produces a maximum power of 75 hp at 4,700 rpm and a maximum torque of 116 Nm at 4,000 rpm, but it doesn’t have the performance to deliver. It has the power to push the wheel any way. of forms

Because at this time it is only installed to rotate the engine to charge the battery . With a maximum power of 1,500 watts or sending that power to spin the engine that is the sole main power of the car to the drive wheels with a maximum power of 170 hp and a maximum torque of 260 Nm.

Compared to the MX-30 EV, though, the hybrid powertrain’s engine is the same . But with a new tuning to that we found that it can produce more horsepower than when it draws electricity only from the battery. While still at 100% EV, maximum torque has dropped slightly instead. Because the original body has a maximum horsepower of 145hp and a maximum torque of 271Nm.

At the same time, because the MX-30 R-EV already has an engine to help generate the electricity. Its battery has been halved to remove extra weight. This means that it only uses a 17.8 kWh battery instead of the usual 35.5 kWh.

And although the operation of the power system is similar to the Nissan Kicks e-Power,

The best part, though, is that users can plug in to charge the battery. If charging at home using an 11 kW Wallbox charger,

It can be fully charged from 0-100% in 1 hour and 40 minutes, or if it charges using the DC Charge fast charging system, it will support voltage. The maximum capacity is 36 kW and it can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in just 25 minutes.

And with a battery that’s more than half the size of it, if it operates in all-electric mode, the MX-30 is a hybrid powerhouse. He will be able to run only up to 85 kilometers according to the WLTP standard in such a mode. In fact, this is enough for everyday use in the city.

On the side of the rotary engine that requires gasoline as a power source, the car is equipped with a 50-liter fuel tank,

Which Mazda says will extend the car’s range by at least 600 km.

Or if you don’t feel like calculating complicated numbers, Mazda claimed fuel economy figures that have good numbers up to 100 km/l as standard by WLTP testing.
