“The warranty extension of the hybrid battery from 3 to 5 years underscores our dedication to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. It reinforces our commitment to providing premium quality hybrid technology and exceptional customer services,” says Steven Tan, president of Mazda Philippines. “Owners of these models will now benefit from comprehensive coverage for their hybrid battery systems, ensuring added peace of mind.”

The Mazda M Hybrid batteries are state-of-the-art and designed with longevity in mind. They are equipped with advanced temperature management systems, automatically optimizing the battery’s performance depending on the driving condition. This prevents excessive heat which can impact battery life and efficiency. It also has its own dedicated Power Control Module (PCM), which ensures that the battery is constantly monitored and protected. The PCM manages the charging and discharging of the battery, maintaining the right balance to prevent overcharging or depletion, extending battery life.

The 24V and 48V lithium-ion batteries are an integral part of the Mazda M Hybrid system. Working in harmony with the Skyactiv engine technology, it provides exceptional driving performance with reduced fuel consumption. The system also reduces tailpipe emissions by switching off the combustion engine at low speeds or at idle.

Regenerative braking captures energy usually wasted during deceleration, storing it in the battery. The Mazda M Hybrid system can then intelligently deploy the stored energy either to provide an electric boost during acceleration or to reduce reliance on the internal combustion engine.

The extended 5-year Mazda M Hybrid battery warranty is on top of the other benefits enjoyed by Mazda owners including a 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year or 100,000-kilometer free Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) package—the longest such program in the industry.
