Although the resolution of this picture is not too high, we can see three groups of powertrains from the picture. It is speculated that there is a gasoline/diesel version of the inline six-cylinder engine on both sides, and the inline four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain with a thick yellow line in the middle.
So, you "Ma Fen" obsessed with straight six engines finally met us for the first time.
Referring to the previously published patent drawing of the cylinder head of Mazda inline six-cylinder engine, we can vaguely guess the air intake mode of the vehicle, and according to the pictures published in this financial report, Mazda plans to insert a supercharger into this inline six-cylinder engine this time, and it is a more direct turbocharging form (from the financial report picture, it should be the layout of single turbine and double scroll tubes).
However, here, some "horse powder" may spit, not "pure". In fact, Mazda has installed its 2.5T Chuangchi Blue Sky engine on a turbine overseas, and the earlier performance version of Mazda 3-Mazda? 3? MPS is also a complete turbine model.
Therefore, the design of the so-called "self-sucking" person has always been "romantic" or even "with ulterior motives", and Mazda has never publicized that aspect here.
Then, due to the limited information in a single picture, it is impossible to further speculate on the technical information of this six-cylinder engine. However, according to the information disclosed by various parties before, this six-cylinder engine will still launch the SPCCI compression ignition version. Therefore, after the newly launched 2.0L Chuangchi Blue Sky X compression ignition engine with supercharger, we will see another Chuangchi Blue Sky X inline six-cylinder engine with turbocharged engine.
Here, some friends may not have enjoyed themselves. Let's do "divergent thinking" together. Now, Mazda has finally developed this inline six-cylinder engine. Which model should this engine be installed on?
The answer is probably a new generation of mazda 6.
As early as September 20 18, Mazda came to the Mazda Design Forum held in Shanghai with two beautiful concept cars. Among them, the car on the left in the above picture is the Mazda RX-VISION concept car that was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 20 15. The one on the right is probably the prototype of the next generation mazda 6- Mazda vision? COUPE concept car
If the return of rotary engine is still a little far away, then the traditional four-stroke six-cylinder engine is a promise to land as soon as possible. From Mazda Vision? In the long front of COUPE concept car, we can actually vaguely see Mazda's determination to enter the field of rear drive, but at that time, no one could believe why Mazda, as a non-luxury brand, was so obstinately developing a vertical rear drive platform that only luxury car companies could digest.
However, Mazda is such a stubborn brand, and it is precisely because of this "stubbornness" that Mazda has come to the present. However, judging from the financial report of Mazda in the first half of fiscal year 2020, Mazda's operating loss reached 52.863 billion yen (about 565.438+billion US dollars), while last year's operating profit was 2.586438+0.1billion yen. Therefore, how long can Mazda be "willful"? Let's wait and see.
