The 200ps variant returns a WLTP average fuel consumption of 57.6mpg (24kpl) with CO2 emissions of only 127g/km.What SUV model is Mazda planning to release?
In 2023, the company will launch a new model, the Mazda CX-80, which is larger than the Mazda CX-60 and features three rows of seating.Another demonstration of Mazda’s "Multi-Solution Approach," the new diesel is designed to meet the needs of customers who want a long distance driving car with great towing capacity. The e-Skyactiv D also promises to be clean and efficient,
The company’s Multi-Solution strategy offers different products and technologies — including more efficient internal combustion engines and a wide range of electrified powertrains that best suit the local market and society’s demand for sustainability.
The new diesel powertrain that will make its debut in the CX-60 is a Mazda first. It will be a 3.3-liter in-line six-cylinder e-Skyactiv D diesel engine that features Distribution-Controlled Partially Premixed Compression Ignition (DCPCI) Technology. This highly innovative advanced combustion technology makes the new e-Skyactiv D unit one of the cleanest diesel engines in the world, achieving a thermal efficiency of over 40%.
Developed using Mazda's "‘right sizing" concept that optimizes displacement to improve both fuel and power efficiency, the all-new 3,283cc longitudinally installed common rail electric direct injection six-cylinder e-Skyactiv D unit will be offered with a choice of two power outputs: 200ps with rear-wheel drive and 254ps with Mazda i-Activ AWD (all-wheel drive).
The engine will be paired to a 48V Mazda M Hybrid Boost system, The diesel engine combines high output with excellent fuel economy, thanks to a new DCPCI combustion system that improves engine efficiency, emissions and fuel economy. These two technologies contribute significantly to the CX-60’s outstanding driving range, performance, frugal fuel consumption, and low emissions.
The 254ps e-Skyactiv D delivers impressive performance of 0-100kph in only 7.4 seconds and returns a WLTP average fuel consumption of 53.3mpg (22.6kpl) with CO2 emissions of 137g/km. The 200ps variant returns a WLTP average fuel consumption of 57.6mpg (24kpl) with CO2 emissions of only 127g/km.
The in-line six-cylinder configuration produces less vibration and a smooth and quiet engine tone. The Skyactiv D’s high torque delivery gives the CX-60 a 2,500-kilogram trailer weight towing capacity, while as a result of its lightweight construction, the engine weighs similar to the 2.2-liter Mazda Skyactiv D four-cylinder diesel engine used in the Mazda CX-5, which helps handling balance.
With the launch of the CX-60, Mazda takes another important step in its fleet’s emission reduction on its way to become entirely carbon neutral by 2050. In all, Mazda is launching five new electrified products in the next three years that feature its multi-solution platform architecture. After 2025, the company will launch its brand new Skyactiv EV Scalable Architecture which will allow Mazda to efficiently build electric cars of all sizes using one common platform.
In 2023, the company will launch a new model, the Mazda CX-80, which is larger than the Mazda CX-60 and features three rows of seating.
With the all-new Mazda CX-60 PHEV available to order now for September delivery, the all-new Mazda CX-60 diesel will arrive in the UK in the first quarter of 2023.
