US Diesel's big splash introduction
- Thread starter Monterra
- Start date
Just like us then which also means no power mode on auto transmission either
- :
- CX5
Diesel doesn't need the power mode because of its low rpm torque. Well that's what I learned anyway.
Though on WOT/ Pedal to the metal, it's does shift aggressively at around 3,500-4500 RPM.

It may not actually need it but no harm in having it
There a media statement or something?
Does he know anyone at Mazda Canada? (rlaugh)
That probably confirms there won't be a manual version for you guys

I use my sport mode frequently (TDI). It’s perfect for slow highway traffic and bumper to bumper.
if you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself.
Honestly at this point I've resigned myself to the sad fact I likely won't be able to get a stick in the vehicle I want (or get the real vehicle I want, which would be a Mazda 6 wagon with AWD, a diesel and a stick).
If Mazda surprised me to the contrary I'd have been thrilled but I sure wasn't holding my breath.
That said, I'll hold on to a faint glimmer of hope until we have an official announcement to the contrary. And heck, even if the US doesn't get one, until I see a Canadian source with confirmation (as we can still get a base 2.0L with a stick here) I will foolishly continue keep the dream alive! (rlaugh)
Mazda sticking with diesels
A recent patent by Mazda shows that the Japanese company is working on a twin-turbo diesel power unit that also uses a supercharger. This suggests the learnings from its SkyActiv X engines (which also utilise an electric supercharger for cramming in extra air) will be put into its diesel powertrains.
