LITTLETON, Colo. - July 18, 2013 - PRLog -- The wait is over : Mazda's SKYACTIV-D 2.2-liter clean diesel engine has arrived, side by side with the all-new 2014 Mazda6, the newest and horniest beauty to come out from the brand's KODO design-inspired lineup. Making its Northern US debut today at the L. A. Auto Show, the highly-anticipated mid-sized sedan will go up for sale in Jan 2013 and be supplied first with a SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter gas engine. The SKYACTIV-D-equipped version will follow in kind in the 2nd half the year, making Mazda the 1st Asian manufacturer to supply a modern-technology clean-diesel engine in a non-commercial automobile. The 2014 Mazda6 will also be the 1st production car to feature Mazda's capacitor-based brake energy regeneration system called i-ELOOP. Heavily influenced by the TAKERI Idea , the Mazda6 makes no excuses for its style, safety and spunk qualities often absent in a middle size sedan.

The KODO "Soul of Motion" design language commands and creates each aspect of the vehicle's beautiful sheet metal, from its alluringly swept lengthened hood and cab-forward proportions to the chiseled steel shaping its frame, the Mazda6 counsels power and splendour before the accelerator is even floored to go. To be available with a selection of SKYACTIV transmissions in either the SKYACTIV-Drive 6 speed automated or SKYACTIV-MT six speed manual, official EPA fuel usage numbers for the 2014 Mazda6 aren't yet available but are aimed at be class leading. Snuggled under its expansive hood lies a choice between the 13:1 high-compression proportion SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter gas engine or the new SKYACTIV-D 2.2-liter clean diesel engine, which offers an impressively low compression proportion of 14:1.

The SKYACTIV-G 2.5L is considered to achieve a lead-foot deserving 184 hp at 5,700 revs per minute and 185 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 revs per minute.

Other enhancements include internal engine friction reduced by twenty p.c and improved fuel use. This is accomplished by utilizing a new two-stage turbocharger, which delivers a smooth and steady reply across the engine range ( up to 5,200 revs per minute ). Additionally, with an ultra-low compression proportion, the SKYACTIV-D diesel engine burns cleaner and discharges less nitrogen oxides to supply almost no soot, so needing no further NOx aftertreatments, which is characteristic of typical diesel engines.
