The 3.3-liter diesel engine on the Mazda CX-60 is available in two versions: 200 hp. (147 kW) for a rear-wheel drive car and 254 hp. (187 kW) for all-wheel drive.
Mazda claims that the new diesel engine combines "strong power with excellent fuel efficiency." These qualities are achieved through several innovations.
The first innovation is the Mazda M Hybrid Boost 48-volt starter-alternator system. The second is advanced combustion technology DCPCI (variable distribution partial premix ignition). With the introduction of DCPCI, the thermal efficiency of the engine has reached 40%.
All-wheel drive Mazda CX-60 e-Skyactiv D with 254 hp engine. accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 219 km/h. Average fuel consumption in the WLTP cycle is 5.3 l/100 km and CO2 emissions are 137 g/km.
Indicators of the rear-wheel drive modification with a 200-horsepower engine: 4.9 liters per 100 km and 127 g / km.
It is also noted that the inline six-cylinder engine produces little vibration and sounds pleasant. The high torque of the diesel unit allows the CX-60 to pull a trailer weighing up to 2,500 kg, and due to its relatively simple design, the weight of this unit is similar to that of the Mazda Skyactiv D 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine.
Later, a 3.0-liter e-Skyactiv petrol engine will also be added to the range of the Mazda CX-60 crossover. The full lineup will therefore consist of the e-Skyactiv PHEV plug-in hybrid (327 hp, 500 Nm), e-Skyactiv D diesels and e-Skyactiv petrol. All of these vehicles are equipped with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The new diesel-powered Mazda CX-60 will go on sale in most European markets in January 2023.
In 2023, the company will release a new Mazda CX-80 model, larger than the Mazda CX-60 and with a third row of seats.
