Mazda plans to launch a new EV in 2025

Mazda, known for its "Zoom-Zoom" ethos, has been synonymous with thrilling driving dynamics and attainable luxury. Yet, as the automotive world races towards an electrified future, Mazda's foray into electric vehicles has seemed leisurely compared to rivals who are rapidly expanding their EV lineups. However, there's a silver lining for Mazda enthusiasts: the automaker is gearing up to introduce its first battery-electric vehicle by 2025, as revealed by Mazda North America CEO, Tom Donnelly. While details remain scarce, speculation suggests it might be a crossover, possibly succeeding the CX-5. Mazda's focus, though, is not solely on battery-electric vehicles but also on plug-in hybrids to address current infrastructure challenges. has seemed leisurely compared to rivals who are rapidly expanding their EV lineups. However, there's a silver lining for Mazda enthusiasts: the automaker is gearing up to introduce its first battery-electric vehicle by 2025, as revealed by Mazda North America CEO, Tom Donnelly. While details remain scarce, speculation suggests it might be a crossover, possibly succeeding the CX-5. Mazda's focus, though, is not solely on battery-electric vehicles but also on plug-in hybrids to address current infrastructure challenges.

Critics might point to Mazda's modest hybrid lineup, which includes the CX-90 PHEV in the US, the CX-60 Hybrid, and the Mazda 2 Hybrid in other markets. There's also the short-lived Mazda MX-30 EV in California. However, Mazda's intentions run deeper. They unveiled plans to launch numerous new battery-electric vehicles between 2028 and 2030, projecting that these EVs will comprise a significant portion of their global sales. Mazda is also collaborating with industry leaders like Panasonic for battery technology and Toyota for hybrid and forthcoming BEV advancements. Moreover, there's speculation of an electrified MX-5 Miata making an appearance at the Tokyo Mobility Show for sports car enthusiasts.

Mazda's approach to electric vehicles is strategic, reflecting a well-thought-out chess game. While their commitment to EVs is evident, Mazda is taking a measured approach rather than hastily joining the electric vehicle trend. As the automotive industry hurtles towards electrification, the question looms: will Mazda's calculated approach keep them in the EV race, or could they risk falling behind the fast-paced industry transformation?
