Mazda North American Operations reports that in August, its vehicle sales in the United States increased by 19 percent year-over-year, reaching 30,174 units. During the first eight months of the year, the company sold 244,586 units, which is 28 percent more than a year ago.<\/p>\n

Something very interesting is happening in the rechargeable part of the business, as Mazda had its best-ever plug-in car sales.<\/p>\n

We know that the all-electric Mazda MX-30 is an ultra-low volume model, which will be discontinued in the US with the 2023 model year. Only six units were sold in August.<\/p>\n

However, when it comes to the plug-in hybrid Mazda CX-90 PHEV, sales are pretty good at 1,700 units in August. That’s 5.6 percent of the total volume. So far this year, Mazda sold 3,843 CX-90 PHEVs in the US.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the Mazda CX-90 PHEV, it starts at $47,445 and is promised to offer up to 26 miles (42 km) of all-electric range (490 miles total), using a 17.8-kilowatt-hour battery.<\/p>\n

The switch to plug-in hybrids is the company’s short-term solution for electrification, which will include the upcoming CX-70 PHEV and non-rechargeable hybrid models (CX-50 Hybrid). Mazda is expected to introduce new BEV models later this decade, but for now, PHEVs are the main focus it seems.<\/p>\n
