Mazda's Japan showrooms will soon add a hybrid-powered version of its new 3 small car to the local range, the carmaker has revealed.
Unveiled this week, the new model, named Axela Hybrid to match the Mazda3's Japan-market name, marks the first time Mazda has offered three different powertrain options with the small car.
Offered in sedan form only, the Axela Hybrid matches a specialised version of Mazda's 2.0 litre SkyActiv petrol engine with an electric motor and a CVT transmission, all understood to be based on Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system.
