This car could damage Mazda's reputation

Stepping into another person's shoes is never easy. But a motoring journo is doing that at least 90 per cent of the time. I, James Cleary, may not be in the target market for a compact electric city car, but when…

About Mazda

Mazda has always marched to its own beat. The company began in Hiroshima in 1920 as a cork maker, built three-wheeled trucks before cars, and became famous for championing the Wankel rotary engine when almost every other carmaker gave up on it. Rotaries powered the Cosmo Sport, the RX-7 and the RX-8, and in 1991 a shrieking rotary-powered 787B won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the first overall victory for a Japanese manufacturer.

It also built the car that saved the affordable sports car. The MX-5 Miata, launched in 1989, became the best-selling two-seat roadster in history and the foundation of Mazda's Zoom-Zoom identity. Through decades of partnership with Ford, which held a large stake until the 2010s, and then a smaller alliance with Toyota that produced a joint factory in Alabama, Mazda has stayed proudly independent in spirit, focusing on driving feel, elegant Kodo design and clever Skyactiv engines rather than chasing volume.

Today Mazda's lineup is built around crossovers: the CX-30, CX-5, CX-50 and the large CX-90, alongside the Mazda3 and the Miata. It has moved upmarket with richer cabins and a rear-drive platform with inline-six engines, while taking a cautious, multi-path approach to electrification that includes hybrids, plug-ins, a rotary range-extender and EVs developed with Chinese partner Changan for some markets, such as the CX-6e and EZ-6. The headlines here cover product changes such as the CX-70's absorption into an expanded CX-90 lineup, the future of the Skyactiv-X engine, sales reports, pricing, recalls and the electrification plan that will define the brand's next decade. Mazda's devoted fans follow every hint of a new rotary sports car with an intensity usually reserved for far bigger brands.
