Mazda 21.5 Skyactiv-D

摘要

24.3.15, Surrey Diesel-engined supermini promises a strong blend of performance and efficiency. This is the one and only diesel version of the new Mazda 2, which went on sale in the UK earlier this month. We've already reviewed the car in a couple of petrol guises, but the diesel offers something different - both from its rangemates and most of its rivals. Using a new, all-aluminium 1.5-litre turbodiesel engine built in line with Mazda's 'right-sized not downsized' philosophy, the 2 makes a healthy 104bhp and 162lb ft - in a class where it remains rare to find a diesel option with more than 90bhp. As a result of that and the lightness Mazda added in the design and engineering of its third-generation supermini, this car is almost two seconds quicker to 62mph than plenty of its competition. And thanks to its associated efficiency, it's just as frugal and efficient as those rivals, bettering 80mpg and less than 90g/km of CO_2. The result is a long-striding, refined, stable and frugal small car with the ground-covering ability of something much bigger.
