This superior combustion know-how makes the brand new e-Skyactiv D unit one of many cleanest diesel engines on the planet, reaching a thermal effectivity of greater than 40%.
Developed utilizing the right-sizing idea which optimizes displacement to enhance each gas and energy effectivity, the all-new 3,283cc longitudinally put in widespread rail electrical direct injection six-cylinder e-Skyactiv D unit will likely be supplied with a selection of two energy outputs: 200ps with rear-wheel drive and 254ps with Mazda i-Activ AWD (all-wheel drive).
