A dedicated EV is coming in 2027 and plug-in hybrids may follow
Mazda has confirmed plans for a next-gen CX-5 and it will use an all-new hybrid powertrain that was developed in-house. The redesigned crossover will have a streamlined lineup as the automaker is seeking to reduce costs and complexity. A new four-cylinder Skyactiv-Z engine is scheduled for launch in 2027, promising improved efficiency. Next week will mark eight years since Mazda introduced the second-generation CX-5 at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The automaker is also studying plug-in hybrid variants based on the architecture and suggested these would be relatively cheap to develop. This could make them an appealing hedge against lackluster EV adoption. Speaking of EVs, the company reiterated plans for an electric crossover from Changan Mazda. It was previewed by the Arata concept, which was introduced at the Beijing Auto Show earlier this year.
