Mazda3 Skyactiv Hybrid debuts at Tokyo Auto Show

[ijbrekke]

Says it will get 72.4 mpg. Additional power specs:

Gas engine: 99 hp, 104 lb-ft torque

Electric engine: 82 hp, 152 lb-ft torque

Combined output: 136 hp (seems low, but makes sense if they are only making partial use of each engine for the sake of efficiency).

Edit: Just read on another site that it will be Japan-only. We'll see how long that lasts.
