Character

S5-DPTS SkyActiv-D 1.5

"Mazda 2/3/CX-3 diesel. Mazda's own small diesel — not sourced. High compression ratio (14.8:1). DPF standard. City driving = DPF issues (very relevant for Greece). Good on highway. Quiet for a small diesel."

Skyactiv-G 2.5

"CX-5/CX-9/Mazda6. Same philosophy as 2.0 but more torque. Excellent reliability record."
