Mazda CX-90 and CX-70 PHEV release timing still unclear

AutoExec Summary
Mazda’s popular plug-in hybrid technology is facing delays in spreading beyond the CX-60 due to homologation issues. Despite strong buyer interest, wider access to the technology in Australia remains uncertain. The flagship PHEV model, the Mazda CX-60, accounted for 41% of sales in the six months it has been available. Mazda Australia aims to introduce the PHEV system to the CX-90 and CX-70, but release timing is uncertain. The unique Australian Design Rule requirements pose a challenge for homologation, as the CX-90 and CX-70 are primarily targeted at left-hand drive markets. The company is working on adapting the PHEV system for Australia, but it requires significant engineering investment. Contact us at [email address] to learn more.
