The most popular model in the offer of the Japanese brand is waiting for interesting news.
–
The upgraded version of the second generation Mazda CX-5, one of the best-selling models in the Japanese brand’s offer, was introduced only last year, but according to some reports, the carmaker is already testing the first prototypes of the third generation of the popular SUV. And it should offer some interesting news.
Among the most important are the use of a completely new platform, developed for cars with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the fitting of the car with a new mild-hybrid in-line six-cylinder. According to colleagues from Australian CarSales, both information should have been confirmed by Vinesh Bhindi, head of Mazda’s Australian dealership.

“Mazda continues to invest in highly efficient internal combustion engines, such as the SkyActiv-X or the new generation of in-line six-cylinder engines, which will power the next generation of products on large platforms, the CX-5 and higher,” CarSales quoted Bhindi as saying in a press release. .
There is relatively little official information about the new platform and in-line six-cylinder engines, but some earlier reports from abroad have indicated that production of new Mazda models with rear-wheel drive and in-line six-cylinder under the hood could start in the first half of next year.

The new platform, which was originally written about mainly in connection with the Mazda 6 sedan, should offer diesel engines in addition to the new in-line six-cylinder engines, and it is said to be working on hybrids. However, specific information is still lacking and we are mostly on the level of speculation. After all, it is not even known when we will see the introduction of the new Mazda CX-5.
But Mazda once again confirms its unique position in the world of the automotive industry, where it is one of the few to oppose modern trends in cylinder deceleration, volume reduction and massive electrification. However, the question arises as to whether the new six-cylinder Mazda will reach Europe, which is increasingly opposed to internal combustion engines.
