Mazda CX-60 2022 – 3.3L diesel engine with mild hybrid technology and 2.5L PHEV with 60 km EV range detailed
The Mazda CX-60 was revealed back in March of this year and represents a new era for the Japanese automaker, as the model is its first rear-wheel drive-based SUV. Available with diesel and a new plug-in hybrid petrol powertrain, both of which are briefly explained in a new video released by the company not too long ago.
Let’s start with the oil-fired engine, which is a 3.3-liter (3,283 cc) in-line turbocharger that produces 231 PS (228 hp) from 4,000 to 4,200 rpm and 500 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 3,000 rpm. Japanese specifications.
Developed by Mazda, the Skyactiv-D engine features distributed-controlled partial compression ignition (DCPCI), in which egg-shaped combustion chambers divide the pre-mixed air-fuel mixture into two side zones. in the piston.
This serves to achieve clean combustion across all engine speeds and better fuel economy, making six-cylinder unit one of the cleanest diesel engines in the world with over 40% thermal efficiency. According to WLTC standards, the CX-60 with Skyactiv D engine can achieve fuel economy of up to 19.8 km/l.
The Skyactiv-D engine is also offered with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system called M Hybrid Boost, and that version is called e-Skyactiv D. M Hybrid Boost includes a small (0.33 kWh) lithium-ion battery. , an inverter, a DC/DC converter and an electric motor/generator with a capacity of 16.3 PS (16 hp or 12 kW) and 153 Nm, are integrated into the transmission.
The electric motor supports the motor at low loads and engine speeds to improve efficiency, providing efficient electric drive in such cases over a short distance. Meanwhile, the battery can be recharged through the engine or regenerative braking, and when full, the excess energy will be used to power electrical components in the car. According to Japanese specifications, the e-Skyactiv D produces 254 PS at 3,750 rpm and 550 Nm from 1,500 to 2,400 rpm.
Switching to a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which is Mazda’s first, the setup used in the CX-60 is made up of a 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine. makes 192 PS (189 hp or 141 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 261 Nm, also mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Electrical components are more important to PHEVs, as the battery is significantly larger (17.8 kWh) to deliver approximately 60 kilometers on electricity alone. When depleted, the vehicle supports AC charging up to 7.2 kW (Type 2 connection), with a full charge taking two hours and 20 minutes. Users can also choose a battery control function where the motor acts as a generator to charge the battery to a preset state of charge (SoC) or rely on regenerative braking to recover energy.
The floor-mounted battery is connected to the power supply system, the DC/DC converter as well as the electric motor that sits between the motor and the transmission. The electric motor has a capacity of 136 PS (134 hp or 100 kW) and 250 Nm and can take the SUV to 100 km/h without the engine.
With both engine and electric motor, the total system output is 327 PS (323 hp or 241 kW) and 500 Nm, making the CX-60 the most powerful road car Mazda has ever produced. From 0 to 100 km/h takes just 5.8 seconds and the car is limited to 200 km/h.
The CX-60 is part of Mazda’s large Product family along with the upcoming CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90, and is the first model built on the Skyactiv Multi-Solution Extensible Architecture with a layout along the front engine and rear-wheel drive. Not like CX-50 Before exclusive to the North American markets, the CX-60 will be sold in Europe, Japan, Australia and some other markets, so it’s likely we’ll get it (thumbs up together).
In terms of size, the CX-60 is larger Current CX-5 and smaller CX-9. Compare to CX-8, the RWD-based SUV is wider but shorter. Besides the six-cylinder diesel and PHEV, the new SUV can also be specified with the regular Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter NA four-cylinder engine and will feature an e-Skyactiv X 3 petrol unit. .0 liter, the latter featuring the company’s Spark Controlled Compression Ignition Technology (SPCCI) and the M Hybrid Boost system.
