A low emissions vehicle, also known as an LEV, could refer to a hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicle.
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or PHEV, combines a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery. PHEVs can operate solely on electricity for many miles, and once the battery is depleted, they will switch to using power from their internal combustion engine.
In a hybrid Mazda, power comes from the hybrid system, which works by recycling energy produced while braking back into the battery. Because of this, you’ll generate zero tailpipe emissions when driving in EV mode.
Drive your hybrid like a regular petrol car while the battery charges itself through regenerative braking. Once charged, simply switch to fully electric driving for pure EV miles. Switch between drive modes for the most energy-efficient experience.
A PHEV combines a powerful petrol engine with an electric motor and battery. It also harnesses regenerative braking to change energy typically lost during braking into electricity, storing it in the battery for increased efficiency.
• Produces low CO2 emissions
• Full EV mode for Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) city driving
• Drive it like a regular petrol car when the battery is low
• Enjoy a smooth driving experience
The plug-in hybrid Mazda CX-60 seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with an impressive 39.15-mile range of pure electric driving. Charging the CX-60 is both swift and efficient, allowing you to go from 20% to 80% battery capacity in just 1 hour and 30 minutes. This PHEV boasts exceptional design, Japanese craftsmanship and advanced technologies, all focused on delivering an outstanding driving experience for both the driver and passengers.
The Mazda2 Hybrid’s intelligent hybrid technology effortlessly transitions between electric and petrol modes, without the need to plug in. The advanced 59kW electric motor contributes to fast acceleration, improved fuel economy and reduced emissions, providing an environmentally friendly solution for city driving. The Mazda2 Hybrid accommodates up to five adults effortlessly thanks to its spacious design, and it has a generous 286 litres of loadspace.
The Mazda MX-30 R-EV combines the best of both a battery electric vehicle (BEV) and a traditional PHEV. Unlike conventional PHEVs, the petrol engine in the MX-30 R-EV doesn’t directly power the wheels, acting instead as a generator to charge the battery. The lightweight battery, carefully engineered to meet daily needs while minimising environmental impact, contributes to the MX-30’s intuitive handling. The MX-30 R-EV interior features high-quality materials and a spacious layout.
