While the waves of hybridization become bigger and bigger, Mazda still seems to cling on to developing diesel power. Their vision is clear after the re-tuned SkyActive-D, the Mazda 6 2018 was unveiled.

The Mazda 6 debut in Japan disclosed a boost in its power which is now 450 Nm and 190 PS from the previous 420 Nm and 175 PS to go head to head with the BMW 320d and Audi A4 TDI Ultra. There’s no change in the engine size (2.2L) and the transmission (6-speed automatic).

Besides, Mazda 6 offers a 6-speed gearbox for the sedan while all-wheel- drive comes optional.

In terms of its look, the Mazda 6 2018 puts on the same exterior as the gasoline model. The new grille attains thicker borders. The changes also come from the slightly revamped headlights and wheel options. Speaking of the interior, it comes equipped with new air-conditioning vents, an upgraded infotainment system, and a redesigned center stack.

All station wagon and sedan models will come with all-wheel-drive and the new SkyActiv-D engine. However, while the stronger diesel engine may be welcome in the Philippines, the AWD system likely misses the market.
