The hybrid combines an electric motor with a 2.0-liter Skyactiv to give better performance and improved fuel economy.

The CNG-fueled Skyactiv version will run on both gasoline and CNG and give a 20% reduction in emissions.

The Mazda 3 accounts for 30% of Mazda’s global sales, and it plans to boost that even further with the new engine options.
