I posted this in the engine section but since it has also been discussed in the lounge (here in this thread), thought it might be beneficial to post here as well:
Details on the new HCCI engine will be revealed soon and will initially appear in the 2018 (probably USA model year 2019) Mazda 3 followed by the other models including the CX-5:
Revolutionary 2018 Mazda3 engine, design details soon
"The new Mazda3 will leapfrog a rebodied, HCCI-equipped Mazda6 into production because of its importance as Mazdas global top-seller. Expect the new Mazda 6 to echo the strategy.
The process will then be repeated with replacements for the Mazda2 (launched in October 2014), CX-3 (March 2015), MX-5 (August 2015) and CX-9 (July 2016), before the first truly all-new seventh-generation Mazda model, likely to be the MkIII CX-5, appears around 2022."
So if I have read the article correctly, maybe a while to go before this engine appears in the CX-5 [Happy to be corrected if I read it wrong ]
A smaller teaser in the article for those wanting high performance Mazdas (called MPS here in OZ land but Mazdaspeed in the USA and other places:
"As part of the post-2020 renewal of its entire model line-up, theres the possibility Mazda will introduce a full range of MPS performance models based around an HCCI-equipped version of the CX-9s 2.5-litre turbo-petrol engine. This hot-shoe line-up will almost certainly including an MPS-variant of the CX-5"
