OH NOES! No Racecar!?

Seriously, this is a deal-maker for me. If I do buy another CX5, it will have to be diesel. The diesel is really growing on me. If they can get it to do 0-60 in the low 7's, I'll be really hard pressed not to get it, regardless of how stupid it is financially.
According to Anchorman, and I agree with him, since the peak torque on diesel is around the 2,000 RPM, at that low there is no need to maintain a high RPM for shifting.

That increase in torque is useful, and probably now puts it on a par with the 2L BMW, and 2L Volvo diesel.
But with less power still.

No, will be better.

I doubt it as you are getting the exact same motor as us. No changes have been made from Gen 1 to Gen 2 other than getting "Natural Sound Smoother and Natural Sound Frequency Control, which reduces and suppresses knocking noise. It all adds to a smooth, quiet drive."

Sorry, we get a more powerful engine for America. Because 'Murica! The changed injector design and re-turned it to make more power for us.

Where is this information please (scratch)

AFAIK there are only 2 versions available:

110KW/380NM (147BHP/280FT/LB) - this is European low output
129KW/420NM (172BHP/310FT/LB) - this is European high output as well as the only diesel engine available here in Australia.

Also referring to Nelson's post above, the figures in the diagram for SkyActiv-D are the exact same figures for our diesel.

So doubt there is another version out there that is more powerful than ours at this time.

But.... if there is then power to the potential USA owners!

Revisions to the engine’s injector design and injection strategy will help the 2.2 exceed the 173 horsepower it makes in the rest of the world.

'MURICA!
 
Interesting. Must have to do with your diesel fuel grade there

No, it's our more stringent emissions regulations, I believe (which might impact the fuel we use too) at the root of it. For ONCE it's doing something for us, as I cannot recall any other occasion upon which the US destined vehicles had MORE power instead of LESS.
 
Its easy to say should give more power, why don't Mazda give a KW figure then we know, it could be just 0.5 bhp more power.
Considering the competition in the UK can offer over 200bhp in a 2L diesel, I do think Mazda have dropped behind. Kuga 180 ps, VW 190 ps to around 230ps etc.
 
I can see it happening although the effects might not be considerable. If they have to modify the engine to deal with urea injection, lifting the power might be a necessity. Somebody asked about the provision for urea injection (Adblue over here). The filler is prepared for it so it looks like the have every intention of making it happen.

If somebody can give me the last 6 numbers of the VIN No, I’ll see if it pops up in the parts catalogue.
 
Somebody was asking why the diesel is more expensive. Well if we look at some of the main parts - these are for resale rather than what Mazda pay to build in. The prices are in GB pounds so I’ve just multiplied by 1.3 to USD but no taxes.

Fuel Pump - $2323

Injector - actually not bad. RAV4 injectors are 2 - 3 times this price - $234 typical.

.......and sit down, the twin turbo cluster - $3042

The moral is, look after your diesel engine. Don’t go pushing additives or stray off the beaten path with lubricants, well, I wouldn’t if I were you.

The Mazda 2.2D has less power/displacement because it uses a lower compression ratio, for lower emissions.
