Mazda is planning a 30% fuel economy increase across its lineup by 2016 through new engines, transmissions, and weight reduction, the automaker announced at a press event in Monterey.
With its next-generation 2.0L gasoline engine and six-speed automatic, Mazda plans to match the fuel economy of its current diesel powertrain. Seita Kanai, Mazda's research and development head, is looking at 32 mpg city and 42 mpg highway from the new engine, up from the current engine's 22/32 mpg, Automotive News reports.
