A True Breath Of Fresh Air: The 2008 Mazda Tribute Hybrid-Electric Vehicle (HEV)

Showing its commitment to improving the world’s air quality, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) introduces the all-new Mazda Tribute Hybrid-Electric Vehicle (HEV) for the 2008 model year. With a hydrogen-powered version of the RX-8 and a hydrogen-powered hybrid version of the MAZDA5 undergoing extensive testing in Japan, the Tribute HEV is the latest environmentally friendly vehicle to join the Mazda lineup. A limited-production model, the 2008 Tribute HEV made its debut at the 2007 North American International Auto Show and went on sale in California in August 2007.

Designed To Satisfy

Completely redesigned both inside and out for 2008, the new Mazda Tribute makes a powerful statement with a bold, tough exterior and a more upscale, comfortable interior. Offering more traditional sport-utility vehicle (SUV) styling than Mazda’s other SUVs, CX-7 and CX-9, the 2008 Mazda Tribute rounds out the Mazda family of unibody-based crossover SUVs, making it the perfect choice for buyers in search of traditional, go-anywhere rugged styling. However, even with an all-new exterior and interior, Tribute has not lost its trademark Zoom-Zoom – after all, every Mazda has the Soul of a Sports Car inside.
