Super TestCar reviews - Mazda - Millenia - sedanMazda modelsEngine27 Jul 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON THE Millenia is powered by a 2.3-litre supercharged V6 that works on the Miller combustion cycle which, in simple terms, shortens the engine's compression stroke. The combined result from the supercharger and Miller cycle is strong performance from a relatively small capacity engine and high fuel efficiency. The engine produces 148.5kW of power at 5500rpm and 282.3Nm of torque at 4000rpm. Official fuel economy figures are quoted at 10.5L/100km (city) and 6.6L/100km (highway). Did you know?There are basically four means that the Miller cycle uses to obtain its increased efficiency: smaller engine (lower displacement), reduced compression stroke and pumping losses (from late closing of the intake valve), cooler intake charge (intercooled air) and combustion improvementsAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
