Earlier, a brochure of Mazda CX-3 had been making the rounds on the internet which also had a mention of diesel engine alongside its petrol variant. So you can expect this model to enter the market with diesel engine before the end of this year. As for Mazda CX-5 diesel variant, you won't really have to wait much as it is already being assembled at Inokom's Kulim plant. Although this assembling is being done for the Thai market, but it wouldn't take much time for the Bermaz Motor to take these cars out of the factory and put them in Malaysian Showrooms. The decision to introduce the diesel engine in Malaysia could be a result of the recent introduction of Euro 5 diesel.
