European models will have a choice of three engines: the petrol SKYACTIV-G 2.0-litre in two power versions and the new SKYACTIV-D 1.5-litre clean diesel. Six-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic and SKYACTIV-MT manual transmissions will be offered either in front-wheel drive format or with Mazda’s new-generation all-wheel drive system.

Mazda says the AWD variants make use of a newly developed system that is similar in nature to that in the CX-5 (active torque control coupling), but also make use of a “front wheel slip warning detection system” that better understands the driver’s intentions with changing road conditions.

I bet the AWD option, tidy proportions, and sophisticated, aggressive design details will have some reconsider their current small SUV's...

Is it the new in thing to mount the door mirrors on the doors now? What happens if someone knocks them off? It could potentially damage your whole door.
