Mazda is preparing a new CX-5 and hybrid drive
The third generation is around the corner.
Although the Japanese Mazda brand in Europe is one of the smaller ones, its efforts to succeed in the demanding market is obvious. After the family SUV CX-60 and CX-80as well as the 6E electric car, is preparing more news.
The most interesting thing that touches most of its models with Skyactiv-G and Skyactiv-X gasoline engines is a full-hybrid drive, bears the Skyactiv-Z label and the brand officially started to talk about it last year in October.
It will complement the current offer of Mild-hybrids, plug-in hybrids and fully electric motors. The new engine will already meet the EURO 7 emission standard and will appear in 2027.
With your own hybrid
Although the goal of full-hybrid is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), this should not happen at the expense of dynamics. The engine will have better thermal efficiency, which is currently 41 (Toyota and Honda) up to 43 percent (MG) in hybrids.
Interestingly, the US is sold a full-hybrid Mazda CX-50 with fully downloaded Toyota technology. In this case, the brand wants to go through its own development.
The first model to receive it in Europe will be the third generation Mazda CX-5. Its premiere is expected before 2027, so it can be expected that initially the novelty is enough with contemporary engines.
