In addition to the in-line six-cylinder, the carmaker also boasted other power units.

The Japanese carmaker, which is still doing its own thing, boasted several new engines during a recent presentation on the financial results of the third quarter. In the photo brought by the Japanese website Car Watch, we can see a new plug-in hybrid, a new four-cylinder and, above all, a new in-line six-cylinder.

The development of the Mazda six-cylinder engine has been talked about for a long time, but now we have the first opportunity to see it in the photo. According to available information, the power unit could appear under the hood of the first models in 2022 at the earliest, while there is talk of petrol, diesel and Skyactiv X variants.
According to speculation, the new engine should appear for the first time in the new Mazda 6, where, according to original information, it should drive the rear wheels. During the presentation, however, the carmaker talked about the longitudinal mounting and all-wheel drive system. But we should find out whether the new Mazda 6 will be just an ATV or even an ATV at the end of 2022 at the latest, when it should premiere.

In 2022, a new plug-in hybrid propulsion system should appear on the scene, which should be the next step in the electrification of the brand. In addition, Mazda will continue to develop mild-hybrid 48V technology or so-called “multi-electrification technology”, which should use a rotary motor.
However, work on several new engines should mean that we will probably not see any news until 2022. According to behind-the-scenes speculation from the beginning of this year, Mazda is now delaying the introduction of new models precisely with regard to the development of completely new power units.
