The CX-5 will be the first model of the company’s new-generation products that adopts SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY throughout the vehicle, in the powertrain, body and chassis, while fully embracing Mazda’s new design theme, “KODO – Soul of Motion.” Mazda will start introducing the Mazda CX-5 this spring in Japan, Europe, followed by other markets around the world.

Mazda’s SKYACTIV-D 2.2 diesel engine is the world’s first* diesel engine to comply with global exhaust gas regulations, including Japan’s Post New Long-Term Regulations and Europe’s Euro6, without the need for an expensive nitrogen oxide (NOx) aftertreatment system, such as the urea selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system or Lean NOx Trap (LNT) catalyst. By precisely controlling fuel injection and improving the exhaust valve’s opening and closing mechanism, the SKYACTIV-D diesel engine has achieved breakthroughs to resolve longstanding issues encountered in low compression ratio engines, such as poor start capability and lower combustion stability when the engine is cold. These improvements helped to achieve the world’s lowest* compression ratio of 14.0:1 for a diesel engine for mass production vehicles, which cannot be find in any other Japanese car or non-Japanese cars. Through its pursuit of ideal combustion using engineering innovation, Mazda has achieved not only outstanding emissions performance, but also excellent fuel economy and ample torque equal to a 4-liter V8 gasoline engine.

With the introduction of the Mazda CX-5 with the SKYACTIV-D diesel engine, Mazda is offering a fresh, fun-to-drive option to the eco-car market – an option that also combines outstanding environmental performance and pioneers a new era of diesel power.

The anti-theft system will be first use in Japanese new cars and then non-Japanese cars on a later stage. The main reason of invention of the technology is to add one more layer of maximum security to cars against car theft. it would be nice to ensure that your entire vehicle could never be stolen right off the street. The new kind of car seat can actually recognize the person sitting in it.

When someone settles in to take a drive, the seat’s various pressure sensors will read the driver’s body weight and create a map that matches the exact distribution of their mass. All that data’s collected in an external computer, and once the pressure map is properly registered, it acts as the “key” for the car. the seat is able to determine whether the person sitting on it is the car owner or simply someone wishing they were the owner. The new invented system will prevent stolen of expensive cars. This most advanced technology system is good news for vehicle owners, but a bad shocking news for thieves and their partners. The Europen and American car-makers like BMW Japan and Mercedes-Benz Japan are also expected to use this special anti-theft seat in their Japan spec models in near future.
