Mazda SkyActiv-D See you soon in Malaysia .. !!
Our SKYACTIV-D diesel engines use a significantly lower compression ratio than conventional diesel engines, allowing for far lighter internal components. This reduces friction and inertia, enabling much higher-revving, more exciting power. Multi-hole piezo injectors and variable valve lift (VVL) combine to optimise engine breathing and economy. A two-stage turbocharger boosts power and efficiency, and helps meet strict Euro Stage IV emissions standards without the need for expensive after treatment of exhaust gasses.

A local dealer has touted the arrival of diesel-powered Mazda vehicles to Malaysia on its official Facebook page, which could indicate that SkyActiv-D-engined Mazdas will be roaming our streets soon.
We reported last year that Bermaz Motor will introduce its range of SkyActiv-D diesel vehicles in 2016, although it has yet to be confirmed which model will be the first to break cover. A strong contender will be the CX-5, as the diesel SUV is already being assembled in Inokom’s Kulim plant here for export to the Thailand market.
The diesel CX-5 is powered by a 2.2 litre twin-turbo SkyActiv-D inline four-cylinder engine, paired to a six-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission. For the Thai market, the mill outputs 175 PS at 4,500 rpm and 420 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm.
This powertrain configuration and its accompanying figures are identical to that on the Mazda 6 2.2L SkyActiv-D, which we tested previously. Speaking of the 6, the D-segment sedan could also be offered in diesel guise here with the same powertrain setup, albeit fully-imported from Japan (CBU), and wearing the most recent facelift.
Other popular models like the Mazda 2 and CX-3 are also probabilities. Both are powered by a 1.5 litre SkyActiv-D four-cylinder engine (104 hp/270 Nm), mated to a six-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission. For those curious about what a diesel-powered 2 feels like, we took one from Bangkok to the Malaysian border (over 1,000 km) on a single tank of diesel, and you can check out our thoughts on it, here.
As for the Mazda 3, said model is offered with the same powertrain as the 6 and CX-5 in Japan. It also comes with the 1.5 litre SkyActiv-D engine for the European markets. However, we don’t expect said model to be introduced here so quickly.
So, which Mazda diesel model (barring the BT-50) do you think will be launched in Malaysia first? More importantly, which one are you looking forward to the most?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Cx-5 for the win! Ease of manufacturing process- already being assembled in Malaysia. Immediate return of investment by Bermaz. Also most popular Mazda model at the moment
yeap, vote for CX-5 as well. more torque to push that mass
So if Mazda can bring in their diesel cars and use B10, then whats the topkek answers by more expensive brands?
Where r they supporters and Gov detractors now?
According to the video the 2.2L Twin-Turbo provides driving experience of a 4.0L V8 engine. WOW!!
Then I may reconsider Mazda again.
Well done just in time for our B10 diesel ….
B10 biodiesel implementation delayed until further notice ……hahaha…..only in Bolehland…..
Unlimited 5 years warranty for the diesel?
Mazda should have more confident on their products..
it was mentioned currently assembled in Malaysia and exported to Thailand. Not the other way around? I thought all manufacturers hate Malaysia and love Thailand….no?
T brand is investing 1B building a plant in Klang..
Previously Mazda mentioned that their super efficient activ diesel engine is not compatible with our “super clean” Euro 2 diesel. I believe they will have to detune the power output for our market.
luckily tarik hand brake for civic 1.5 turbo….2.2 diesel will be more interesting
great news!
Is that the same engine that Ford use in the Ranger?
Vege oil compliant SUV.
Other manufactures moving forward with plug-in hybrid not diesel anymore.
the exhaust gas recirculation EGR is best for enviroment..but for us as a tuner/racer..we put a blank plate@remove vacuum hose that connect to solenoid@remove whole system to ensure the intake is always clean..from AlphaTechMalaysia
Woww…420nm for CX5, so big torque!!
CRV is still the loser n underpowered …hahaha
Diesel engine with lower compression ration ? Wonder how it gonna works with our diesel quality..not to mention the Bio variant…
Europe want to ditch diesel already and Mazda go diesel for Europe? Dreaming…?
Diesel is good for modern SUV which is heavier than sedan…so SUV needs more torque, but our diesel is low quality. No wonder, the european diesels are high quality… This mazda Skyactive 2.2D is similar like 2.2 CRDi Hyundai/Kia n 2.2 Ford Ranger….so powerful n economical diesel engine .
europeans are dumping diesels, why should we adopt it..its proven to be more toxic and polluting..vw knew that long time already..ooops
Mazda 2 diesel hatch with stick shifter please.
If only they can tune the engine to 197 Hp like d Sante Fe, it will b awesome
I agreed with u…Santa Fe diesel engine is powerful, 197hp 436Nm torque!!! Same cc 2.2L like Mazda but more powerful
Yes but the fuel economic should be better than the koreans because of the technologies of skyactiv
Strongly encourage you to get the new Santa Fe
With Diesel, Mazda should promote the CX-9 and CX-7 instead.
CX-5 is just too small
Mx5 with cx5 diesel engine hnnghhh
plz plz plz bring in mazda 2
Mazda cars are great but the prices are sky high!
