Finding a vehicle that balances fuel efficiency with your lifestyle and driving needs can feel overwhelming. The cost of fuel, the expanding range of vehicle types – from traditional gas-powered cars and SUVs to hybrids (HEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) – makes the decision even more complex.
But fuel efficiency shouldn’t mean compromising on what you want. And with a Mazda plug-in hybrid or Mazda hybrid, you can expect greater fuel economy without sacrificing on the practicality of a crossover SUV.
Efficiency Meets Exhilaration
But what does that mean for you? While calculating actual costs depends on many factors – such as where you live, your current charging set up, how many miles you drive per day – learning a bit more about a Mazda can help you decide.
Mazda has integrated advanced and innovative technology that contributes to both fuel efficiency and driving pleasure, including:
- Our plug-in hybrid powertrain utilizes an electric motor between the engine and transmission for fully electric driving when charged, while our hybrid powertrain uses multiple electric motors to assist the engine and power the rear wheels when needed as part of the e-AWD system.
- Regenerative braking: This feature converts kinetic energy into electricity, which in turn is used to recharge the battery pack used in Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid vehicles. This means you’re able to charge your car while you use it.
- Enhanced driving experience: Mazda electrified vehicles are made to elevate the driving experience, not detract from it. Their design allows for both fuel efficiency and agile handling, because the engine doesn’t have to work as hard.
Electrified Models: Tailored to Your Life
Now that you know more about what’s under the hood, let’s talk lifestyle. Mazda electrified vehicles are designed to offer both fuel efficiency and practicality for a variety of lifestyles and driving needs.
CX-90 PHEV: This powerful SUV gives you the same range and fuel-efficiency as the CX-70 PHEV, plus an extra row of seats to comfortably accommodate up to eight passengers.
Each one is fuel-efficient and fun to drive—which you can discover for yourself by visiting a Mazda Dealer near you and scheduling a test drive.
