They\'re great for the planet and they\'re definitely the future, so if you haven\'t already considered a crossover electric vehicle then now is the perfect time to start. And with the company announcing its intention to electrify every vehicle by 2030, Mazda hybrids are becoming hot news. With the Mazda CX-30, Mazda CX-60, and Mazda3 all available in Sydney for 2023, there\'s a wealth of options if you\'d like to put some zap in your zoom-zoom.
Mazda CX-30
If you\'re looking for a small hybrid SUV that gives a great driving experience, the CX-30 G20e Evolve M Hybrid might just fit the bill. Mazda have added a 24-volt mild-hybrid system to the 2.0l non-turbo four-cylinder engine, which charges a small lithium-ion battery through a belt alternator system. Mated to a six-speed transmission, the E-Skyactiv GM hybrid engine produces 114kW of power and 200nM of torque, with 4WD and AWD available.
With an eight-speaker sound system, an 8.8-inch infotainment screen, and 317l of cargo space in the boot, the CX-30 Evolve is kitted out well for an enjoyable but practical driving experience. But the hybrid also features a keyless entry function, cruising support, front parking sensors, and a 10-way power driver\'s seat for additional comfort and safety.
Mazda CX-60
Looking for something bigger? Billed as "the most powerful Mazda ever built", the CX-60 is a large SUV with petrol, diesel, or plug-in hybrid options. This PHEV combines a 100kW motor and 17.8kWh battery with a 2.5l non-turbo inline-four to produce a whopping 241kW and 500nM. With a 5.9-second acceleration from 0-100km/h and a towing capacity of 2,500kg, it certainly packs enough punch for a satisfying drive.
There are three trims available, Evolve, GT, and Azami. The CX-60 comes with seven or 12.3-inch instrument displays, LED headlights, and a 10.25-inch infotainment system. Keyless start and entry, an eight-speaker system, and wireless phone charging mean that there\'s plenty to make every journey convenient and comfortable, as well as easy. There\'s also a suite of advanced safety features.
Mazda 3
If you\'re in the market for a hybrid sedan, the Mazda 3 G20e is also worth a second look. Based on the mid-range Evolve trim, it uses a 24-volt mild-hybrid system paired with the 2.0l G20 engine. This has an output of 114kW and 200nM. The stop-start system means more even starting and braking, augmenting precise steering and a smooth high-speed cruise.
There\'s an 8.8-inch infotainment screen, and the Vision Technology package comes as standard, including a 360-view camera, front parking sensors, and driver monitoring. Keyless entry, auto-dimming side mirrors with memory and reverse tilt-down, and a power-adjustable driver\'s seat means that the interior feels as though it\'s been tailored especially for you.
No matter what you\'re looking for in a car, Mazda\'s hybrid lineup will let you enjoy the benefits of an environmentally-friendly and economical drive without compromising on comfort, safety, or style. If you aren\'t familiar with the options yet, it\'s definitely worth heading down to your local dealer to explore them.
