Mazda's Inline-Six 3.3-Liter Diesel Makes 406 LB-FT
The SKYACTIV-D 3.3 diesel engine produces peak torque around 1,500 rpm until 3,000 rpm.
"Without further ado, the standard SKYACTIV-D 3.3 develops 228 horsepower (170 kilowatts) between 4,000 rpm and 4,200 rpm. The full amount of torque, 500 Newton-meters (369 pound-feet), is attainable from a low 1,500 rpm until 3,000 rpm. Then there's an e-SKYACTIV D variant of the same diesel engine, but with a mild-hybrid setup baked in. It bumps output to 251 hp (187 kW) at 3,750 rpm while torque rises to 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) from 1,500 rpm to 2,400 rpm.
The straight-six diesel works with an eight-speed automatic transmission sending power to both axles in the newly released CX-60 SUV that weighs around 1,900 kilograms (4,189 pounds). The diesel-fueled SUV will do 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.3 seconds before reaching a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h).
Technical specifications for the 3.0-liter gasoline engine have not been provided, but at least we can compare the diesel with the already revealed 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid model. It combines a naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline mill with an electric motor for a total output of 323 hp (241 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm."
