US Diesel's big splash introduction
- Thread starter Monterra
- Start date
Where does the 10secs to 60 come from?
184ps diesel pulling 1820kg in the UK is 9.5 sec to 60mph. With 445nm passing should be easy, diesels excel with in gear performance.
Do the US have any bhp figures yet for the diesel they will get?

It comes from everyone saying because it doesn't get @40 (like the Equinox that does offer great hwy mpg but is slow as hell) it can't compete. Not to say mediocre fe won't hurt it but i think it can approach the 10% they targeted..depending on price
Subscribed, and/but waiting for news. As a TDI owner, I've never thought it was about a 0-60, somewhat the MPG, but more the improved daily drivability from the very wide torque (at high altitude).
True but seems the focus on 0-60 is increasing regardless of type (petrol[gas]/diesel)
It is all about 30-50 and 50-70mph times, but as 0-60 figures are being mentioned...
Sorry to say I disagree (I better given we've bought two 3's in the last year...lol).
Our MPG is just fine, the engine (2.5) goes quite well, the interior is basically on par with other Mazda offerings (albeit without the next gen sound isolation available elsewhere) and yes, the rear seat is 'smallish'...it's a compact car.
Same power, more aerodynamic, better handling, available with a manual and more fuel efficient than a CX5. CX5 has a bit more space and AWD though.
And the car still sells in pretty high numbers (for Mazda). But car sales in general are dropping (CUVs!) and it's also at EOL with a replacement due shortly and is older than a lot of the competition. That's not much of a recipe for record sales and I'd say it's pretty impressive how well it still fares given those things.
I'm excited to see what the next gen 3 looks like, whether it will have available AWD (the one major thing I miss) and if they'll eventually release a 2.5L version of the 'X' motor in it.
I'd also love Mazda to give me an 'upsize' option for an AWD hatch/wagon/CUV with a manual...
Not sure how newsworthy this is but figgered I throw it here- the '19 9er is live on mazdausa and AA/ACP are on the menu looks like Touring and above. Not the '19 I was hoping for but its something. BTW- wtf can I still build the 2017 3 and CX-5??

Purely for interest, just a few images of our latest incarnation taken today at a dealer.
The Adblue filler neck;
This is standard to the US but until now a 800 (approx $1100) option for us - radar cruise is at last standard;
Very nice 19* wheels;
Tell tale signs of an Adblue tank. The single tail pipe and blanking plug to the left;
The aluminium inlet to the variable nozzle twin turbo pack;

Aye well, they*ve included MRCC so I guess paying for the extravagance of the 360 camera is kind of acceptable. I would have paid it for the ALH - one of the best features of my car.
