With innovative advanced combustion technology, Mazda suggest this makes it "one of the cleanest diesel engines in the world". The e-Skyactiv D engine will be offered with a choice of 2 power outputs – 200ps with RWD, which is exclusively offered on the Exclusive Line trim level, and 254ps with Mazda i-Activ AWD.
