flag Mazda delays EV launch to 2029, shifts to hybrids and China-built EVs amid changing market and policy shifts.

flag Mazda is delaying its in-house electric vehicle launch to 2029, shifting focus to a new hybrid drivetrain, SkyActiv-Z, due to rising hybrid demand in the U.S. and the end of federal EV incentives. flag The company now expects EVs to make up no more than 25% of global sales, down from a previous target of 25–40% by 2030. flag To comply with emissions regulations like Australia’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, Mazda is introducing China-built electric models—the 6e sedan and CX-6e—shared with Changan’s Deepal brand. flag It plans to discontinue the Mazda 2 and CX-3 in 2026, with a successor based on the Vision-X concept potentially arriving by 2028, built in Thailand. flag The hybrid CX-5 is set for 2027, but challenges remain amid growing competition from BYD and shifting market dynamics.
