Innovation in the automotive industry comes in many shapes and sizes, but no matter how you define it, Mazda is one carmaker that isn’t afraid to try new things. From high-revving rotary engines to compression-ignition gas engines and even diesel motors that work without exhaust fluids, Mazda hasn’t shied away from weird ideas. With the next generation of the brand’s crossovers, Mazda will move away from front-wheel-drive-based platforms, embrace electrification , and even offer a new turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine.
