As we reported earlier, Mazda is making some waves at the [2012 LA Auto Show](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/la auto show/) by announcing the 2014 Mazda6 sedan will bow with a 2.2-liter clean-diesel engine under its hood in North America. The Skyactiv-D engine will show up on the option sheet after the Mazda6 sedan goes on sale in January with its 2.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine. The move makes Mazda the first Japanese manufacturer to offer a diesel engine in the mid-sized segment in the US (the Volkswagen Passat also offers one), and the company says the Skyactiv-D-powered Mazda6 will also benefit from the manufacturer’s brake energy regeneration system, i-Eloop.
The vehicle will be available with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, and [Environmental Protection Agency](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/environmental protection agency/) fuel economy estimates are still pending, as are official power figures. Expect to hear more solid details once the the vehicle launches in January.
Meanwhile, the 2014 CX-5 will offer buyers a larger 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine in Touring and Grand Touring models, in addition to the current 2.0-liter four-cylinder offered across its entire range of trim levels. The new engine delivers 184 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque (up from 155 hp and 150 lb/ft for the 2.0-liter) and shuttles power to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. The EPA expects to see 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway from front-wheel-drive models. Those numbers slip to 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway on all-wheel-drive models.Continue reading Mazda announces diesel engine for Mazda6, larger 2.5L for CX-5
