Introduction
The Tribute Hybrid is a gasoline-electric hybrid version of Mazda’s compact SUV. The Tribute was redesigned for the 2008 model year with the focus on a bold, tough exterior look combined with a more upscale, comfortable interior. The Tribute Hybrid will be produced in a limited production run of 350 for sale in California. The Tribute joined the Mazda lineup for 2001 and is offered with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The Tribute is built on the same platform as the Ford Escape, but the Tribute is styled and tuned to look and perform like a Mazda.
