A spokesperson for Mazda Australia said there is currently no news about the MX-30 M Hybrid and Electric being updated for the local market.
One change all Mazda MX-30 Variants received in Japan as part of the update are a new set of two-tone exterior colors, replacing certain three-tone finishes.
The newly added Soul Red Crystal and Zircon Sand metal come with a black roof, while Jet Black mica is now available with gray doorposts.

Another change to the MX-30 M Hybrid and Electric is that the gearshift lever now has a gearshift button placed on the front rather than on the right. Mazda says this helps the car operate more smoothly when entering data quickly.
Mazda MX-30 Electric models are now more recognizable thanks to the ‘EV’ badge on the side of the front wheel arches, as well as another e-SkyActiv badge to the right of the rear door.
