Mazda Philippines is pleased to announce an extension of the warranty for the high-voltage lithium-ion batteries in its Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) lineup. The warranty for the 24V and 48V lithium-ion batteries in the Mazda3 HEV, Mazda CX-30 HEV, Mazda CX-60 HEV, and Mazda CX-90 HEV will now be extended from three years to five years. This enhancement provides customers with greater peace of mind and applies to all units sold since their introduction in the Philippine market, beginning with the Mazda3 HEV and CX-30 HEV in October 2021.
“Our decision to extend the hybrid battery warranty from three to five years highlights our commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction,” said Steven Tan, President of Mazda Philippines. “This initiative reinforces our dedication to delivering premium hybrid technology and exceptional service. Owners of these models will benefit from comprehensive coverage for their hybrid battery systems, ensuring they can drive with confidence.”
Mazda’s HEV batteries are designed for longevity, featuring advanced temperature management systems that optimize performance based on driving conditions. This innovation prevents excessive heat, which can compromise battery life and efficiency. Each battery is equipped with a dedicated Power Control Module (PCM) that continuously monitors and protects the battery, effectively managing charging and discharging to prevent overcharging or depletion.
The 24V and 48V lithium-ion batteries play a vital role in the Mazda HEV system, seamlessly integrating with the Skyactiv engine technology to deliver exceptional driving performance while minimizing fuel consumption. Additionally, this system reduces tailpipe emissions by automatically shutting off the combustion engine at low speeds or during idle moments.
The Mazda HEV system also incorporates regenerative braking, which captures energy typically lost during deceleration and stores it in the battery. This stored energy can then be intelligently deployed to provide an electric boost during acceleration or to lessen reliance on the internal combustion engine.
In addition to the extended battery warranty, Mazda owners enjoy a range of benefits, including a three-year bumper-to-bumper warranty and a five-year or 100,000-kilometer free Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) package—one of the most extensive offerings in the industry.
For any questions or concerns regarding the warranty extension for the Mazda HEV battery, Mazda owners are encouraged to reach out to any of the following Mazda 3S dealerships across the Philippines: Mazda C-5 Pasig, Mazda Quezon Avenue, Mazda Makati, Mazda Alabang, Mazda Sta. Rosa, Mazda Pulilan, Mazda Pampanga, Mazda Dagupan, Mazda Cabanatuan, Mazda Tarlac, Mazda Cebu, Mazda Iloilo, Mazda Bacolod, Mazda Cagayan De Oro, and Mazda Davao.
