Taking cues from the Kai Concept shown in Tokyo, the car will be using Mazda’s latest SkyActiv-Vehicle Architecture which will provide the car with a better ride as the new platform is significantly stiffer, allowing the suspension to do its work properly.

A new 2.0-litre engine is rumored to output near 190bhp, easily eclipsing the current 2.0-litre engine that delivers 162bhp. It will also use around 20% less fuel and is 25% cleaner in terms of carbon dioxide emissions.

Well we will see tons of this bearing the PHV sticker on the streets very soon. 

 

What a waste of tech. All these high tech engines and drive train are totally wasted and unappreciated when the car is being used as a PHV. 

 

190hp in a Mazda 3... hopefully the added power will make my Grab ride shorter?

Important is the new engine chance a 2L into a higher than 2.5L performance car with a 20% drop in FC. better still if they can drop the CEVS band

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
