Known for its [Wankel rotary engines](/en/detay/wankel-engine-and-hydrogen-c4b2a/llms.txt), the company began transitioning to electromobility after 2010 by developing hybrid and limited-range electric models. In the 2020s, Mazda intensified work on hybrid, EREV (range-extended electric), and full electric solutions under its “Multi-Solution” approach. The company plans to launch its first fully [electric vehicle](/en/detay/electric-vehicle/llms.txt) in 2027. ### **Product Range** ##### **Electric and Hybrid Models** - MX-30: Compact SUV introduced in 2019; battery-electric version discontinued in 2025 due to limited range, plug-in hybrid remains in production. - EZ-6 (6e): Mid-segment liftback/sedan for China and Europe; available in BEV and EREV versions. - EZ-60: Electric SUV for the Chinese market from 2025; available in both BEV and EREV versions. ##### **ICE and Hybrid-Based SUV Models** - CX-30, CX-50, CX-60, CX-80: Offered with internal combustion and hybrid powertrains. ### **Electric Vehicle Technology** Mazda’s “Multi-Solution” strategy develops different powertrain types simultaneously.
