Is Mazda bringing a 3.3-Litre I6 hybrid to Canada?
August 17 2023,
Mazda, the maverick automaker renowned for its individualistic spirit, continues to march to the beat of its own drum. According to the latest buzz, Mazda's new hybrid offering, a 3.3-litre inline-six hybrid with rear-wheel drive roots, is expected to find its way to North America soon.
The Mazda Australia team let the news slip during a press release for the CX-60 crossover, currently unavailable in Canada. This highly anticipated 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six with 48V mild-hybrid technology didn't come with a definitive timeline or designated vehicles, but it's clear the innovation train at Mazda is full steam ahead. Industry insiders speculate that Mazda's upcoming models, the CX-90 and CX-70 crossovers, might be the chosen carriers of this powertrain, given the increasing popularity of electrification in this vehicle segment.
Though the CX-60 won't be hitting Canadian roads, journalists who have tested the vehicle have reported that it stayed true to the sporty and sharp-handling characteristics Mazda is renowned for, promising a good indication of what's in store for future Mazda offerings. It's crucial not to make hasty assumptions about the larger CX-90 based solely on the CX-60. Still, it seems plausible that the engaging dynamics in the CX-60 are a taste of what's coming. Expect a standard all-wheel-drive with a longitudinal engine and rear-drive roots.
