After breaking cover at the 2012 Moscow Motor Show in late August, the Hiroshima-based car manufacturer headed to the 2012 Paris Motor Show to mark the official public debut of the all-new 2014 Mazda 6 Wagon and its new SkyActiv-D engine.
Targeting the more eco-conscious European market, the 2.2L SkyActiv-D (“D” stands for diesel) generates 173 horses and complies with stricter EURO 6 emissions standards. This just proves that diesels too can be clean. Though fuel consumption figures aren’t out yet, we’re expecting it to be quite a bit more efficient than the 20 km/L we estimate from its gasoline counterpart.The 2.0 and 2.5 liter direct-injected gasoline SkyActiv-G engines, will also be available as an option with the all-new Mazda 6.
