What's this?

Rotary engines returning to Mazda's car lineup


A spinning Dorito will function as a range extender for the MX-30 crossover.

It's official: Mazda will soon sell a rotary engine in the United States, though perhaps not in the format we were all hoping for. In an interview with The Detroit Bureau, Mazda North American Operations president Jeff Guyton confirmed that the brand's MX-30 crossover, originally bound only for Japan and Europe, will come to the U.S. as an electric vehicle with a rotary-engine range extender. "For the U.S. market," Guyton told TDB, "the range extender would be more appropriate."
