What is a Mazda M Hybrid Car?

Mazda M Hybrid is our innovative evolution of hybrid car technology. It uses a small generator to capture energy that is normally wasted during braking. It stores that energy using it to assist the engine, saving fuel in the process by powering the car’s electrical systems and optimising your drive. So it’s not the same as a plug in hybrid, or a conventional hybrid electric vehicle - no plug or charging is required.

 

INTEGRATED GENERATOR

THE POWER BEHIND MAZDA M HYBRID

When you decelerate the generator produces electricity which is stored in a 24 volt battery. This electricity is then used for starting the engine and providing engine assistance when you pull away and across gear changes. It also powers the car’s electrical systems.

REDUCED EMISSIONS

As the burden of powering the vehicle’s electrical systems is taken on by Mazda M Hybrid, the overall load on the engine is reduced. The engine will work more efficiently, producing fewer emissions.

Improved fuel economy

Mazda M Hybrid uses stored electricity to supplement the engine when pulling away, plus it helps to smooth out gear changes. All these little efficiencies contribute to improved fuel economy and greater driving pleasure.

i-Stop and Engine Shut Off

When coming to a standstill, i-stop will automatically shut off the engine to save fuel while stationary. When the clutch is engaged, the engine fires into life in less than 0.4 seconds.

NO PLUG-IN CHARGING REQUIRED

Using a small generator to capture energy that is normally wasted during braking, it stores that energy using it to assist the engine. It’s not the same as a plug-in hybrid, or a conventional hybrid electric vehicle - no plug-in charging is required.

Mazda3

The Mazda3 Hatchback turns your daily driving into an exhilarating experience. You can count on outstanding performance thanks to our Mazda M Hybrid technology, along with excellent fuel economy.

It is our mild hybrid technology. It uses a small Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) to capture energy that is normally wasted during braking and stores it to power the car’s electrical systems, reducing the load on the engine and saving fuel in the process.

When you decelerate, the integrated starter motor generator produces electricity which is stored in a 24 volt battery. This electricity is used for a number of purposes including starting the engine and providing motor assistance when you pull away. It can also power the car’s electrical systems.

Not at all, but you may notice that you drive more smoothly. With the electric motor assistance, pulling away from a standstill is easier, and when you change gear the motor assistance makes gear changes smoother.

No. The battery charges as you drive – but only when you slow down, so it never takes power away from the engine.

No. Mazda M Hybrid helps save you money by improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. Mazda M Hybrid is standard on all Mazda3 and Mazda CX-30 models, including those equipped with the e-Skyactiv X powertrains. And it also features on Mazda2 models with manual transmission.

No. The Mazda2 Mild Hybrid differs from the Mazda2 Hybrid model, which is only available as a full hybrid option. Alternatively, we have Plug-In Hybrid options available in our CX-60 and MX-30 models.
