Mazda to electrify 13 models by 2025; Malaysia's next CX-5 could be a hybrid 01

Mazda has revealed their 'Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030' plans yesterday, which will see nearly their entire line-up being electrified, and Malaysia could welcome a majority of them too.

There'll be a total of 13 models electrified in some way, consisting of five hybrids, five plug-in hybrids, and three electric vehicles (EV) models being launched in Japan, Europe, China, and ASEAN between 2022 and 2025.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1685525140735-0'); });

These includes models that will be using the Toyota Hybrid System (THS) as well.
