With its clean, graceful, and dignified design, the Mazda3 continues to be a popular model in Mazda Philippines’ lineup. For 2022, the Mazda3 offers an even higher level of technology with the introduction of e-Skyactiv-G Mild Hybrid (M Hybrid) Technology.
The new Mazda M Hybrid system significantly improves on the proven Mazda i-eloop system found in the Mazda3, Mazda6, and MX-5. By mating a DC/DC converter, an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), and Regenerative Friction Brake Coordination system with a new 24-volt M Hybrid Lithium-Ion battery, the 2022 Mazda3 realizes significant improvements in fuel economy and emission reduction.
Using energy stored in the onboard M-Hybrid Lithium battery through regenerative deceleration, the Mazda M-Hybrid system supplements power generation and supply to the Mazda3’s electrical systems. While the new ISG seamlessly restarts the engine in idle-stop (top) situations. ISG also assists in smoothing upshifts during gear changes.
Both innovations not only reduce the load on the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine but also improve drivability and engine performance, leading to a more luxurious driving experience.

Mazda Philippines’ rationalization of its product portfolio for 2022 is in line with corporate efforts to address customer demands and wider environmental concerns. That is why starting this coming model year, the Mazda CX-30 is exclusively available in front-wheel drive M Hybrid configuration.
The 2022 Mazda CX-30 features the e-Skyactiv-G M Hybrid engine and battery system.

With the e-Skyactiv-G M Hybrid, Mazda customers not only realize a smoother drive but also achieve phenomenal fuel savings and lower emissions without having to worry about plugging in or charging.
The 2022 Mazda CX-30 M Hybrid retains the same luxurious human-centric amenities such as full red leather seats, a 12-Speaker BOSE® Sound System, LED Adaptive Front-Lighting System, 360-degree view camera, and 18-inch wheels. The wheels will be finished in high-gloss black to add distinction and call attention to the unique powertrain it possesses.
i-Activsense features such as Mazda Radar Cruise Control, Smart Brake Support, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, and Rear-Cross Traffic Alert remain to ensure the reduction of driving incidents. Seven airbags continue to lessen the risk of severe passenger injury in case of a collision.
“For 2022, the Mazda CX-30 moves up to deliver an even more efficient and well-rounded driving experience,” says Tan. “In line with Mazda’s global initiatives, we see the introduction of the 2022 CX-30 e-Skyactiv-G M Hybrid as the first step for us to participate and be relevant partners in achieving the brand’s goals.
