More exciting news from the engineering team at Mazda! According to Green Car Reports, Mazda will launch its first diesel engine for both its Mazda3 compact vehicle and the Mazda CX-5 crossover. It’s expected that Mazda will make the debut of its diesel engine in the Fall of 2017. CardinaleWay #MazdaSalinas looks forward to showcasing this latest engine technology. We anticipate that demand will be strong for the 2017 Mazda CX-5 and Mazda3.
Comparing Apples And Oranges — Not Really!
For a brief understanding of how gasoline and diesel engines work, Green Car Reports notes that the difference is in how the engines are ignited. Gasoline engines are started with spark plugs. However, diesel engines rely on a compression system. It used to be that diesel engines were considered dirty or noisy, but that is no longer the case with recent technological advances. Mazda technology uses a homogeneous-charge compression system. Already, there are projections that Mazda’s diesel engine may experience as much as a 30 percent increase in fuel economy compared to a gasoline engine.
More Diesel Engines In Madza Vehicles In The Future
Mazda plans to try out the new diesel engine in the compact Mazda3 before it is introduced in the 2017 Mazda CX-9. That’s likely due to marketing strategy. Depending on how well it is received by the automotive industry, it’s quite possible that other models may be adapted to feature a diesel engine as well.
