Mazda will reveal a new diesel engine for the new Mazda 6 at the Paris show in September 2008. Contrary to what could be thought, the new 2.2 litre turbo diesel with 175 bhp, has no parentage with the 2.2 Ford-PSA which debuted as the Ford Mondeo Titanium S in Geneva.

It derives from the current 2-litre 140 bhp and will be paired with a manual, six-speed gear box. The recent development has meant the possible Mazda 6 MPS petrol turbo has been temporarily put on standby, though it is hoped the debut has been postponed and not cancelled.
