Mazda says that it has increased its global sales target from 160,000 to 190,000 CX-5s during fiscal year 2012 and that it will increase production capacity in Hiroshima, Japan, from 200,000 to 240,000 units. The CX-5 went on sale earlier this year in most of Mazda's major global markets.
By the fiscal year that ends in March of 2016, Mazda says that it intends to have reached an annual rate of 1.7 million Skyactiv engines as it spreads the powertrains to the rest of its lineup. Currently, only its CX-5 is available with the Skyactiv-D diesel engine, but the automaker confirmed today that the same powertrain will be available in the next-generation Mazda6 set to be unveiled in September at the Paris Motor Show.
