Explore Mazda Electrified Technology
Mazda’s approach to electrification gives drivers a range of options. Each technology works differently, offering varying levels of electric assistance, charging requirements and all-electric driving capability.
Mild Hybrid (M-HYBRID)
Mazda M-Hybrid technology uses a compact electric system to support the petrol engine. Energy that would otherwise be lost during braking and deceleration is recovered and stored, then used to assist the engine when needed.
Unlike a plug-in hybrid or battery electric vehicle, an M-Hybrid does not need to be plugged in to charge. The system works automatically as you drive, helping improve efficiency while maintaining the natural driving feel Mazda is known for.
Hybrid (HEV)
A Hybrid Electric Vehicle combines a conventional engine with electric power. Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle can use the petrol engine, electric motor or a combination of both.
The battery is charged automatically through the vehicle’s systems and regenerative braking, meaning there is no need to plug in to charge. Hybrid technology can be particularly suited to drivers who want improved efficiency without changing their usual driving and refuelling routine.
Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)
A Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle combines an electric motor and battery with a petrol engine. The larger battery can be charged by plugging into a compatible charging point and allows for electric driving before the petrol engine is required.
For many drivers, a PHEV offers flexibility for everyday journeys while retaining the convenience of a petrol engine for longer trips.
All-Electric (BEV)
A Battery Electric Vehicle, or BEV, is powered entirely by electricity. There is no conventional petrol or diesel engine. Instead, the vehicle uses a rechargeable battery to power an electric motor.
BEVs can be charged at home or at compatible public charging stations, depending on the available charging setup. Electric driving offers a quiet, responsive and refined experience while producing no tailpipe emissions during driving.
Mazda’s growing all-electric range includes the Mazda CX-6e and Mazda6e, giving New Zealand drivers more ways to experience the next generation of Mazda driving.

Charging & Regenerative Braking
Understanding how electrified vehicles charge is an important part of choosing the right technology for your lifestyle.
Regenerative Braking
Many electrified vehicles use regenerative braking to recover energy when slowing down. Rather than allowing all of that energy to be lost, the vehicle can convert some of it into electricity and store it in the battery.
This process happens automatically while driving and can help improve overall efficiency.
Hybrid & Mild Hybrid Charging
Mild Hybrid and Hybrid vehicles charge their batteries automatically through regenerative braking and other vehicle systems. There is no need to connect these vehicles to an external charger.
Plug-In Hybrid Charging
Plug-In Hybrid vehicles can charge their larger battery by connecting to a compatible charging point. They also use regenerative braking to recover energy while driving.
All-Electric Vehicle Charging
All-electric Mazda vehicles are powered by a rechargeable battery and can be charged using compatible home or public charging equipment. The right charging solution will depend on your home setup, driving habits and access to public charging.

How does Mazda hybrid technology work?
Mazda hybrids rely on regenerative braking to recover energy and help the engine. To maximise performance and fuel efficiency, the system automatically shifts between petrol, electric, or a combination of both. Regular maintenance with Mazda genuine parts in NZ helps the vehicle perform at its peak.
How can I maintain my Mazda hybrid?
Mazda hybrids use regenerative braking to recover energy that is lost and assist the engine. The technology automatically switches between gasoline, electric, or a mixture for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance with genuine Mazda parts in New Zealand boosts vehicle performance.
