Fans have said that "Mazda has money to develop rotor engines, no money to sell cars, sell cars well, sell cars to make money and study rotor engines", rotor engines are now the label of Mazda brand, and even so far Mazda has never given up on rotor engines. Recently, the car uncle learned that the rotor engine will be installed on its MX-30 model, which will be released in March next year.
Previously, the rotor engine was used by Mazda as a drive engine, but on the MX-30, it can only act as a range extender and will not directly participate in the drive of the vehicle, so this car is essentially a pure electric model.
Although it has become a range extender, the shortcomings of the rotor engine are certainly still there. As far as the range extender is concerned, its speed will certainly be set in a more reasonable range, so energy consumption is not a big problem, but how to solve the most fatal wear problem of the rotor engine? It may be that ordinary new energy vehicles need to change the battery after using it for a long time, and the MX-30 that uses the rotor engine as a range extender may even have to be replaced.
In addition, the reason why fans like the rotor engine is actually attracted by its uniform low torque, strong power and high-pitched sound, if these advantages can not be directly felt after becoming a range extender, then who will pay for the so-called feelings?
