The Mazda 3 is a compact car from Mazda. Positioned as the first of Mazda’s next-generation product lineup, the exterior design, under the slogan “aesthetics of subtraction” used by Mazda itself, minimizes the character lines typically found on the body sides, expressing texture through surface variations. While the Mazda 3 follows the Axela lineup, the model previously sold as a “sports hatchback” is now called a “fastback.” It features a mild hybrid system, achieving improved fuel economy and environmental friendliness.

The new model is equipped with the next-generation gasoline engine “e-SKYACTIV X,” followed by the new “e-SKYACTIV G” model, which combines the 2.0L direct-injection gasoline engine “SKYACTIV-G 2.0” with the mild hybrid system “M HYBRID.” The “e-SKYACTIV G” combines a maximum output of 115kW (156PS) at 6,000rpm and a maximum torque of 199Nm (20.3kgfm) at 4,000rpm with the unique mild hybrid system “M HYBRID,” with a maximum output of 5.1kW (6.9PS) at 1,800rpm and a maximum torque of 49Nm (5.0kgfm) at 100rpm. This achieves quiet, smooth acceleration and a high-quality driving feel, contributing to the car’s low fuel consumption (WLTC mode) of 15.9km/L to 17.5km/L.

Price and specifications revealed: Product improvement “MX-30” to be released on October 20, 2022

The rotary engine, which Mazda successfully mass-produced in 1967 , is a technology that symbolizes Mazda , and with a spirit of “never giving in to challenges,” the company has continued to pursue the possibilities of the rotary engine and create new value for over half a century . Taking advantage of the rotary engine’s unique ability to achieve the required output performance in a compact unit, Mazda will launch the plug-in hybrid model “MAZDA MX-30 Rotary-EV,” which uses the rotary engine as a generator.

The new MX-30 is available in two currently announced versions: the mild hybrid e-SKYACTIV G and the electric e-SKYACTIV . The e-SKYACTIV electric model has a WLTC range of approximately 200km, which is frankly unreliable compared to other electric vehicles, as it has a shorter driving range from a fully charged battery. To address this issue, the e-SKYACTIV is equipped with a single rotary engine generator, a “rotary engine generator” model designed to double the driving range. Combined with a 17.8kWh lithium-ion battery and a 50L fuel tank, the new model boasts a European WLTP range of approximately 400 miles (approximately 640km), putting it on par with other competitors. The EV driving range is 80km in the European WLTP mode.

The entire drive is powered by a motor, and the car has an EV range of 107km, making it suitable for use as a battery EV in a wide range of everyday situations, and the rotary engine generates electricity for even longer distances.

Finally equipped with a series rotary engine generator, the new “MAZDA MX-30 Rotary-EV” will be released in November 2023

CX-60

The CX-60 is Mazda’s first PHEV vehicle, combining powerful acceleration with excellent fuel economy thanks to its electric motor.

The CX-60’s exterior design is based on Mazda’s “Kodo-Soul of Motion” design philosophy , featuring a deeply sculpted front fascia with an aggressive rear end. Eye-catching features include vertically stacked headlights and L-shaped daytime running lights. Despite its impressive body dimensions of 4,740mm in length, 1,890mm in width, 1,685mm in height, and a 2,870mm wheelbase, the CX-60’s rear-wheel drive platform allows for a turning radius of just 5.4m, making it highly maneuverable for its size.

The e-SKYACTIV D combines an in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine with electrification technology M HYBRID BOOST (48V mild hybrid) , achieving an evolved driving experience that feels one with the driver and horse and improved fuel efficiency that can be felt from the moment you step on the accelerator .

The CX-60 PHEV is powered by a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder e-SKYACTIV PHEV, Mazda’s first plug-in hybrid system. The electric motor, designed to optimize its performance, combines a maximum output of 100 kW with a large-capacity 17.8 kWh battery, resulting in a combined maximum output of 241 kW (327 hp) and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. Acceleration is 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds , delivering exceptional performance. The all-electric driving range is 63 km at speeds below 100 km/h .

Mazda’s new CX-60, the first in a new generation of large-size models, is available in Japan from September 15, 2022.
