Good Afternoon All.
A quick question to the forum. What is the likelihood of a base model diesel CX5 ( preferably FWD and manual ) being released in Australia?
I will soon be looking to buy a compact SUV, and by all reports the CX5 is the way to go, but the high price of the cheapest diesel ($AUD 39,040) takes it out of my reach.
In the UK Mazda offer a base model diesel in both FWD ( lower output ) and AWD. Their cheapest diesel is only 1,600 pounds ( $AUD 2,400 ) more than the cheapest petrol model. Add $2,400 to the cheapest petrol model in OZ and you get $30,390, for a car that returns 61mpg, which I think roughly equates to 4.7L/100km.

Thanks in advance,
