Mazda has pushed back against the automotive industry’s shift toward full electrification, insisting that gasoline engines remain a viable and relevant technology. The company maintains that combustion engines still offer advantages that cannot be easily replaced by electric alternatives.

Industry observers will watch closely to see how the automaker balances innovation with its commitment to a proven technology.
