The dust has barely settled on the Detroit Motor Show, but attentions are already turning to the next major motoring event – the Geneva Motor Show which opens its doors to the Press on March 2.
The Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that it will unveil its all-new Mazda5 (known in Japan as the Mazda Premacy) at the event.
The vehicle is available with powertrains including a 1.8litre petrol engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission. However, of particular note is a 2.0l direct injection petrol engine with i-stop that reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by around 15 per cent when compared to the model it replaces. It also boasts high combustion efficiency provided by direct injection and a six-speed manual transmission with optimised gear ratios.
Meanwhile, it is expected that Mazda will display its next generation Mazda SKY-D diesel engine and SKY-DRIVE automatic transmission at the event. The features are likely to be introduced in its 2011 models.
