It is important to note that the rotary engine in the CX-30 will not directly power the wheels. Instead, it will function as a generator to recharge a 17.8 kWh battery, providing an electric-only range of up to 53 miles. Jeff Guyton, Mazda’s North American CEO, expressed that the return of the rotary engine to the US market has not been ruled out, but the immediate focus is on launching the CX-30 in Europe and Japan.
The upcoming third-generation Mazda CX-5, along with its potential hybrid powertrain, signals Mazda’s commitment to offering a diverse range of efficient and environmentally friendly options. With its reputation for stylish design and engaging driving dynamics, the CX-5 is poised to continue captivating SUV enthusiasts while embracing the advancements of hybrid technology.
