CX-5 Diesel: Is it coming to the U.S. or not (conflicting info)?
I honestly can't get an accurate answer - at least by the methods I've tried in searching for an answer - as to whether Mazda will or will not bring the diesel version of the CX-5 to the United States.
Does anyone have the answer from a credible source as to this question?
Thanks.

Check out the cx-5 thread. Paul @ Mazmart confirmed as best as we can that yes, it will, though not for 8 to 18 months after has version. Timing is subject to change of course

I'll believe it when I see it on the lots... My prediction is that Canada will get the Sky-D and the US will get the usual "based on market research..." baloney. ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

And the CX-5 is the only diesel in their lineup at the moment (expect that to change over time)
Mazda remains the only Asian auto maker committed to bringing modern clean-diesel technology to the United States.

We should have a diesel Takeri (Mazda 6) in 2014 as well.
Pretty much every publication about the new Mazda diesel and the CX5 in general states an expected 2013 (spring) availability for the Diesel CX5 in CONUS. Heck, that was out before the CX5 was even available for purchase...

Uh, nope. The CX-5 diesel will be here as a 2013 model, the 6 will be here as a 2014 model. Both next year. The CX-5 diesel is already in production, the 6 is not(?), and the diesel is already in other countries, so less to get it here than the 6.
And I expect we will follow a similar method of options as the UK (though probably a bit less flexible), where you can get the diesel or gas high power or low power, fwd or awd, at or mt for all but a couple of those combos. Like I think in the UK you can only get the low power gas with fwd manual, but most of the rest of the combos are viable, including high power diesel (190hp 310tq) in awd manual![Yesnod](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/yesnod.gif)
Probably going to be less open for us though
