Mazda has smartly decided to offer loaner cars with its MX-30 EV, which is priced above other short-range EVs but offers more flair.

Even after Mazda confirmed the comeback of the Wankel rotary engine for the U.S. market, a new report clouds its future as a range extender.

Mazda plans multiple electrified variants of its vehicles, such as the MX-30 that's to be offered with a rotary range extender—with a dedicated EV arriving in 2025.

The Mazda MX-30 promises all-electric motoring for a relatively short range—although a gasoline-burning range extender is on the way.

The MX-30 will arrive in the U.S. as a rotary-supplemented plug-in series hybrid as well as a fully electric model.

Mazda took some of the shine off its MX-30 electric car by showing that there will be a gasoline version.

Mazda has revealed its first "mass production" EV at the Tokyo Motor Show; more on a rotary range-extended version is to come later.

Mazda will deliver the diesel CX-5, Mercedes' electric crossover, and hydrogen fuel trucks.

Will Mazda finally, after many years, put a new diesel vehicle on sale in the U.S.? If the announcement the automaker made today at the New York auto show is any indication, deliveries of the Mazda CX-5 diesel will start this summer. It’s been a long, long time since Mazda made the business...
