Tokyo Advance showing: Mazda’s Novel Direct-Injected 2.0L I4, 2.2L Turbodiesel Engines
Mazda will show two engines at the Tokyo Auto Show, and both should end up being . very big deal in the …. market. You'll see them in Mazdas, and very likely, in Fords, too.
First off, there'… new direct-injected version of Mazda '. global 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder called the Sky-.. At least, that'. what Mazda will call it during the Tokyo show. In addition, says Mazda , the engine block is revised to reduce mechanical friction and achieve the most optimal air-fuel mixture. Together, these improvements yield . claimed 15-percent improvement in fuel economy. This would enable . Mazda 3 to return mileage on par with . Mazda 2, according to the company.
The second engine is . new 2.2-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder. Yep, it'. called Sky-.. It, too, has . new block that'. less susceptible to friction. It also has piezo injectors and . two-stage turbocharger not found on Mazda '. current European-market diesel. Total fuel economy improvement here is said to be 20 percent. This means you could drive around in . diesel Mazda 6 and get Mazda -2-like fuel economy, says Mazda . If this turns out to be true in real-world driving, the company will have to find . way to get this engine cleaned up for the U./spy shots., as it could be . real help in meeting the 2015 CAFE standards.
