2023 CX-5 2.5 NA still 187 HP but Mazda3 now 191 HP

[Freedom55]

I saw this by accident just looking at Mazda Canada news; for 2023 the 3 went from 186 HP to 191 HP. No big deal but it reminds me when the 2.5T got an extra 6 HP for 2022 in the CX-5 but not other models...

We use SAE measurement and Europe uses the DIN spec?

 

[cz5gt]

It’s possible, yes.

... and yet still only 2% better power, which will not be noticeable. Not worth worrying about.
