Mazda's North America CEO Talks Autonomous Driving
Mazda just unveiled its 2018 Mazda6 at the Los Angeles Auto Show and Masahiro Moro, President and CEO of the company’s North American Operations, told us everything about the new car and the automaker’s ambitions.
While many in the industry are rushing into self-driving vehicles, currently Mazda is not moving into that direction yet.
"I think autonomous driving in future technology is underway,” he said. But he points out the new Mazda6 will have other “fantastic” premium features, a theme that will elevate the company into a higher-end market.
The model introduces the 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, which offers better fuel efficiency. Its engineering will provide more power and sensation for the driving experience, says Moro.
He added that this mid-size sedan is ideal for a family or anyone who enjoys the pleasure of driving.
