最近谍照记者在美国密歇根州安娜堡美国环保署附近拍到了马自达6Skyactiv-D。此前，马自达的2.2升柴油引擎上月刚刚获得加州空气资源委员会的认证。自从马自达宣布计划向美国市场推出柴油车之后就不断进行努力。2016年，马自达宣布车厂首款搭载柴油引擎的CX-5Skyactiv-D将于2017年晚些时候上市。当马自达宣布此项计划时，承诺，柴油车型将提供“充沛的扭矩输出驾驶体验“，这款车将成为同级车型中油耗最低的车型之一。在欧洲上市的马自达车型搭载2.2升柴油引擎，功率173马力，扭矩310磅-英尺（420牛米），搭配六速手动变速器，也可选装六速自动变速器。不过在美国上市的马自达6 Skyactiv-D将只提供六速自动变速器。

 

Mazda6 SkyActiv-D Spied At U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Mazda teasing U.S. consumers with the possibility of offer diesel engines is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment for auto enthusiasts. However, new spy photos show a Mazda6 Skyactiv-D at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Ann Arbor, Mich. These spy photos come after Mazda’s 2.2-liter diesel received CARB – California Air Resources Board – certification last month.

 

Since Mazda first announced the possibility of a diesel engine in the U.S., the Japanese has worked to move the idea closer to reality. In 2016, Mazda announced the CX-5 Skyactiv-D – the automaker’s diesel designation – would come in late 2017. When the company made the announcement, Mazda promised “a torque-rich driving experience” and that the model would become “one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its class.”

 

Europe has had the fancy of savoring Mazda’s diesel 2.2-liter engine with its 173 horsepower and gut-punching 310 pound-feet of torque. Europeans who want to shift their own gears get such opportunity with an available six-speed manual transmission. If they want the car to do its own gear switching, they can choose the six-speed automatic. Talk about luxury. When the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D hits U.S. dealerships, the six-speed auto will be the only gearbox available.
