DIESEL DUEL: MAZDA CX-5 2.2L SKYACTIV-D 2WD VS HYUNDAI TUCSON R 2.0 CRDI

JUST like hybrid technology, diesel cars are relatively scarce in Malaysia, although they are steadily gaining the interest of consumers. Initially introduced as premium brands, they have become more affordable now.

But what we have here are the Mazda CX-5 2.2L SkyActiv-D 2WD and the Hyundai Tucson R 2.0 CRDi, representing the C-segment class of sports utility vehicles (SUVs).

You see, diesel SUVs make a lot of sense, especially if you are an owner who has to cover a lot of miles.
