Did they ever release that MX-30R variant with the Rotary Engine range extender?
That thing seemed like it could be neat depending on how much range the Rotary adds

I'll be keeping an eye on this one. I'll be in the market for a new car in a year or so, and I've had two Mazdas in a row that have been fantastic.
Not sure about the whole "plug-in" thing with hybrids, though.
I'm also curious how it'll effect the more performance-oriented trims, that currently have a turbocharger.

I've had kind of a hit or miss relationship with my 2017 CX5. Decent car but had a catastrophic failure of the differential, blanking on what it's called, but it cost me $5500 to fix it, not covered by warranty, and it was "because the under carriage of the car must have gotten wet" which just happened with normal New England driving. So that sucked. And of course it was right after I finished paying the car off.
I'm confused about the lineup. CX5, CX9, CX90, cx 60 (?), Cx3, Mazda 3… the 90, 60, 30 line plus the 9 6 3… and some are hybrid some aren't.

Our CX-9 engine basically imploded recently and the car wasn't that old.
Luckily it was a known issue and they covered most of it.
2017 CX5 owner here. Love the car but transmission blew at 33k miles. Thankfully covered under powertrain (and I'm actually on third one) but has held up so far (at almost 70k miles now)
Uh yikes. I've got a 2020 CX9. What year was yours? Also have a 2012 Mazda 3 with no issues other than regular maintenance, so feeling pretty good about Mazda otherwise.
CX-50 owner here and I love it. I was hoping they would go hybrid. They are getting there and this is good news!
My thoughts exactly.
Are there any conpelling Prius competitors out there?
If its a plug in hybrid with at least 40 miles of electric range and still around $30k, might be interested actually.
The entire US auto industry is infuriatingly behind on electric sedans/compacts. At least Mazda's tiny size compared to other automakers provide some kind of an excuse but not literally everyone else in the industry.
Same. 2020 CX-30..I love it but without turbo that engine is pokey af
Mines is a 2021 select. Heard the turbo engines arent as good on gas mileage. or are they?
I've got a 2020 turbo premium plus and I get about 26mph with a mix of city and freeway driving. Most of the time I'm driving very conservatively, but I'm get in a spirited acceleration here and there a couple times a month.
2020 Select here. I really don't know, but I've noticed that CX-30's love highway driving over city. I figure that factors into it a bit?

We just got my son a 2023 CX-30 to replace his 2013 Ford Escape that got totaled. It's a really nice space to be in. I was impressed with the car. It only had 4000 mi on it and had been originally sold in October last year. It was certified too so it gets a 7 year 100000mi warranty. Couldn't leave that there for that price.
The next Miata is expected to have some electrification, but I don't think an E-Ray style electric-assisted AWD would suit the Miata's character of being an affordable lightweight RWD convertible.
It would make a lot of sense for their rumored RX-7 successor, though
They did in Europe. Wasn't really much better than the straight battery version. Just didn't have big enough, or power-dense enough batteries. The extender basically took what would be battery weight and converted it to engine/fuel weight. Not really worth it for this platform. The idea isn't without it's upsides, but in this sorry excuse for a compliance vehicle, it's a non-starter.
In regular hybrid news, excited to see what Mazda does with the Hybrid CX-5, but still salty we never got the CX-60 in the US. I want a bigger SUV that isn't a boat Mazda!
