Hybrid Vehicles – Capital City Mazda
Which Vehicle is Right for You?
Other than petrol or diesel fuel, you now have more options through Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and All-Electric Vehicles. It’s important to fully understand the differences between them if you’re thinking about switching to an electric car. It’s simpler to determine which car best suits your lifestyle once you understand what makes each unique.
Hybrid vehicles are just within reach. Capital City Mazda is your nearest Mazda dealership if you’re in Wellington. Here, we offer professional assistance at every stage, from test drives to servicing, as well as access to our whole selection of new and used Mazda cars in Wellington.
Mild Hybrid (M-HYBRID)
M-Hybrid is Mazda’s revolutionary hybrid technology. Unlike plug-in hybrids, it relies on regenerative braking, thus no plugs or charging are necessary. This device catches energy that would otherwise be wasted during braking and uses it to help the engine, saving fuel and increasing efficiency.
Hybrid (HEV)
Mazda HEVs use both conventional and electric power. They automatically transition between gasoline, electric, or both to maximise performance and efficiency. Mazda dealerships in Wellington offer models such as the Mazda3 Hybrid and CX-30 Hybrid.
Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)
Plug-in hybrids have larger batteries, enabling a longer all-electric range. Once the battery is expended, they function as a regular hybrid. Learn about our Mazda genuine parts in NZ and servicing options to keep your PHEV running properly.
All-Electric (BEV)
All-electric vehicles operate solely on electricity. Power up at home or at public charging stations for an all-electric drive. Capital City Mazda provides guidance, a Mazda warranty in New Zealand, and access to Mazda servicing in Wellington to ensure that your BEV performs effectively.
Charging the Battery & Regenerative Braking
All four categories of electrified vehicles charge their batteries through regenerative braking. Hybrid vehicles charge automatically using regenerative braking and a conventional engine, whereas PHEVs and BEVs can be plugged in. Learn more about charging at our dealership, and schedule a battery check with Mazda Service in Wellington.
