Mazda today announced that the next-generation Mazda2 will be available with an all-new 1.5L SKYACTIV-D clean diesel engine rated at 103 horsepower.
Optimum combustion is achieved despite the lowest compression ratio of any small-displacement diesel engine (14.8:1). A variable turbine geometry turbocharger with rotation sensor delivers plenty of boost pressure across the rev range, and a water-cooled intercooler (integrated into the intake manifold) improves throttle response and turbocharger efficiency.
The future Mazda2 SKYACTIV-D will offer manual and automatic transmissions, as well as the i-ELOOP regenerative braking system.
Sales will begin in Japan before the rest of the world follows suit.
