Diesel Beauty
It’s a sleek little sedan with plenty of power and a surprising secret under the hood: A diesel-powered engine. In addition to a traditional gasoline model, the 2014 Mazda6 will be offered here in the U.S. with a Skyactive-D 2.2-liter diesel engine. The brand promises that the quiet, clean-burning, and super-efficient engine will cut drivers’ monthly fuel costs in half. Is it the first step in a full-on diesel comeback?
