In the usual concept-car hype, Mazda said Ryuga builds on its concept of flow. Nagare is Japanese for “flow” and the Ryuga – Japanese for “gracious flow” – is the next generation with a higher level of sophistication achieved through the use of rich fabrics, engineered fits and hidden details.
The heavily revised Tribute HEV will be the first advanced-technology vehicle dedicated to clean air that Mazda will sell to the public when it becomes available later in the year.
The Tribute HEV is claimed to be one of the least-polluting vehicles on the road, yet still delivers the performance required by SUV owners. With a combined power output of its petrol engine and electric motor of 155 hp, the Tribute HEV provides plenty of power yet meets strict super ultra low emissions vehicle (SULEVII) and advanced technology partial zero emissions vehicle (AT-PZEV) standards in California – the strictest emission regulations a petrol-powered vehicle can meet.
