Mazda Motor Corporation announced at the Los Angeles Auto
Show(1) today it will offer the SKYACTIV-D 2.2 clean diesel engine
in the all-new Mazda CX-5 for North America from the second half of
2017. It will be Mazda's first diesel engine model in the North
American market.
The SKYACTIV-D 2.2 to be fitted in the all-new CX-5 for North
America provides a torque-rich driving experience and revs freely
to high RPMs. It will meet the region's strict emission standards
and make the all-new CX-5 one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles
in its class. The engine also adopts Natural Sound Smoother and
Natural Sound Frequency Control, proprietary technologies that
reduce diesel knock sound for a quieter and more pleasing
sound.
"We're confident this engine offers a smart new option for North
American drivers who want both performance and fuel economy," said
Akira Marumoto, Mazda's Executive Vice President and Representative
Director.
By providing driving pleasure and outstanding environmental
performance to all customers, Mazda aims to enrich people's lives
and become a brand with which customers feel an emotional
connection.
(1) Mazda holds a press conference at 12:50 p.m. (PST) on Nov. 16,
the first of two press days. The show is open to the public Nov. 18
