Although most of the following news is media speculation, it is also based on almost conclusive facts. From the two documents released by Mazda not long ago: executive statements and patent documents, we can clearly see that Mazda is working on developing a new inline six-cylinder engine, which will be used in the next-generation Mazda6 and CX- 5 models.
Mazda stated in its first executive statement that this inline six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3.0L was developed for the next-generation Mazda6 model and uses a new front-wheel-drive engine. platform. This engine will have a maximum horsepower output of more than 300 horsepower, and thanks to innovative ignition technology, the new engine's fuel consumption performance will be very good. Of course, this engine will be installed on other models besides the Mazda 6, and this model is the CX-5, Mazda's most important SUV model in the world. It is reported that the next-generation CX-5 model will be developed on the same platform as the next-generation Mazda 6, and will also be equipped with a new straight-six engine and a front-wheel drive layout. Moreover, the next-generation CX-5 will be renamed CX-50, and perhaps Mazda’s subsequent SUV models will adopt the CX-X0 naming method.
For domestic Mazda fans, the next generation Mazda 6 and CX-5 equipped with a new straight-six engine and rear-wheel drive layout will be released around 2022-2023 and are likely to enter the domestic market. But this means that the Mazda brand will not release any new cars before 2022, and fans who like Mazda will have to wait for a while.
