Mazda CX 60 Features Revolutionary New Diesel Inline-6
The all-new 3.3-liter in-line six-cylinder e-Skyactiv D diesel engine produces either 197 or 251 horsepower, depending on whether customers opt for rear- or all-wheel drive. The engine provides up to 406 lb-ft of torque. Why are these figures relatively low compared to other advanced diesel powertrains? Well, Mazda tends to be fairly pragmatic when it comes to its turbocharged engines, aiming for reliability and efficiency over outright power. Put a pin in that efficiency bit. The most impressive bit is what Mazda calls Distribution-Controlled Partially Premixed Compression Ignition (DCPCI) Technology. Mazda claims this new combustion technology gives this particular diesel powertrain a thermal efficiency of over 40%. Most diesel engines have a thermal efficiency of 30-35%, and that's with turbocharging included. On top of this new DCPCI system, the 3.3-liter inline-six diesel gets a 48-volt mild-hybrid system for improved low-down torque.
