The spinning engine is back.
Actually, it's in the back, squeezed under the trunk of this Mazda2, where it has 30 hp, sending out the pew-pew-

If Mazda starts to make a lot of electric cars, it will strengthen.
At the same time, the company's focus remains on the highest level of efficiency in the pursuit of standard internal combustion engines.

On the one hand, the current driver of mazda3 --
Most of the center steering and handling dynamics are retained, and a great deal has been made to make the regenerative brake more like an ordinary car.
On the other hand, the shifters are the same as the Prius, with a CVT transmission with a power output reduced to 134 hp in the name of fuel economy.
It's kind of like eating a spoonful of granola on your cheeseburger.
