IL6 Mazdas on the way starting with CX-60

Mazda is seriously pushing upmarket with this new drivetrain! 

[DOBIEMKZ]

I saw Mazda got release a CX-50 but too bad not for Asian market. Otherwise very good alternative to Toyota RAV4 or Volvo XC40.

It is basically a super-wide and long CX-30, built in USA for USA.

Same architecture, not related to CX-5

And also rear torsion beam haha

lets see they are successful with this new powertrain and going upmarket. or maybe flop like their Xedos range the last time.

twin electric super charger? I tot this is a mild off-road vehicle, need such pick up meh. hahaha.

My take on hydrogen? yeah. I will still bang on it. But it will be for bus, truck airplanes, generators and supercars.

peasants like me drive electric car in the future one. Carbon neutral only. not carbon free. hahahaha

I think that strategy will do well for US markets, perhaps Oceania and China markets too. But not for SEA and SG markets/ :///

China, if you notice, has a capacity based tax where apparently cars above 4.0l are taxed very heavily.

For a B&B they much prefer it to be 1.5L and below, that's why the Chinese makes have their 1.5T and the Corolla in China is a 1.5L. (base trims are 3 cylinder iirc)

No wonder. I saw a youku or youtube video about a Chinese customer posting his pov test drive of a Hyundai Avante and in the video there is a comment about this segment very hot/competitive. Hmmm... seems that Chinese car owners are not much better off than Singapore ones in road taxes.
