Mazda Plans Broad Hybrid SUV Expansion Starting with Next-Gen CX-5

Mazda is accelerating its electrification roadmap with plans to introduce an in-house conventional hybrid powertrain on the next-generation CX-5 by 2027. The automaker is also exploring expanding the petrol-electric system across its larger SUV lineup, including models such as the CX-70 and CX-90. The move aims to better position Mazda against hybrid market leaders like Toyota as consumer demand for electrified powertrains continues to rise.
