Ever late to the party, Mazda eschewed hybridisation for diesel. Better late than never, though, and access to the Toyota tech saves them a lot of the sort of pain Honda and others have experienced.
Given the gorgeous design edge the Hiroshima brand enjoys, I'd expect them to leverage their 人馬一体 know-how to offer quirky, sporty, and cool EVs rather than me-too boxes.

We've got a CX-5, the original turbodiesel we bought second hand from a Mazda dealer. It gets about 12km/l and diesel is cheap in Japan, so it costs little to run for what is a big car and is 4wd. It does 0-100 in about 8 seconds, so plenty of zoom zoom, and it's nicely decked out with leather and JBL, almost like an Audi or a BMW which cost way more. It's actually faster than the 1.6 five speed MX-5 we had years ago. If you're getting one of them, get the six speed 1.8 or the MazdaSpeed. MX-5s corner like they are glued to the road. I've also driven a new Mazda 3 we got as a courtesy car. It was just the 1.5, but it still felt like a drivers' car. It'll be interesting to see what Mazda do with electrics.
