Monty will be the last man standing... come hell or high water.
Our UK diesel has been euro6 since 2012, but the latest standard e6 d temp and WLTP testing requires ad blue to be used.

As long as he pays me my $50 when he loses this bet, he can sit, stand, or lay down, for all I care
Ours is currently Euro V and that is with 140KW and 450NM
Wonder if it will change when the update arrives (uhm)

It would appear mazda views these posts and disappointing to see that the nz website now has euro 5 under cx-5 ( and others)on the website. Since your watching Mazda you might want to change https://www.mazda.co.nz/innovation/driving-engine-technology/skyactiv to remove the reference to exceeding Euro 6 under sky D and state what it really is. Talk about false advertising !
I think it has always been Euro 5 but for some unknown reason they have stated Euro 6.
NZ specs etc aren't that much different to Australia and we have always been on Euro 5 for CX-5 & 6 diesels.
It will in 2022.
Euro5 makes sense being a neighbour to Australia.
By that time it will be something else
Exactly. The VW diesel tune made the VW get great mileage but it would fail the EPA emission tests so VW tweaked and cheated to pass the emission test. So while the diesel CX5 could get better mileage it would cause it to fail the EPA test. That's the dilemma. Better mileage = failing emissions vs worse mileage = passing emissions.
Either way. The reality is the CX5 diesel gets abysmall fuel mileage for an expensive diesel engine and the use of urea. Why pay more $$ for an engine that gets gas type mileage and then add all the extra maintenance and costs with running a diesel. It's a lose/lose situation.
American vehicle buyers DO NOT want diesel engines. VW made sure of that with dieselgate. Diesel is dead in the USA for passenger vehicles. Mazda is 8 years behind the curve on this. They should have scrapped the diesel for the USA many years ago. Lesson learned and Mazda lost $$$ on this endeavor.

Thread title feels kinda ironic now.
Big splash in a very negative way?

I know. A bellyflop may make a big splash but not even jumping? No splash.
