|  Mazda's stock jumped 6 percent today in Tokyo on news that the Mazda CX-5 crossover SUV is available at Mazda dealers in Japan. Mazda plans for 1,000 units per month to be sold in Japan, and Mazda President Takashi Yamanouchi told The Nikkei [sub] that he expects annual global sales to reach approximately 200,000 units. The CX-5 is the first model to adopt the full complement of Mazda's SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY including gasoline and diesel engines, transmissions, body and chassis. Buyers in Japan have a choice of two new-generation engines. The model equipped with Mazda's SKYACTIV-D 2.2 clean diesel engine delivers a class-leading fuel economy of 18.6km/L (JC08 mode), and what Mazda calls the "powerful dynamic performance equivalent to a 4.0L, V8 gasoline engine." The SKYACTIV-G 2.0L gasoline model is rated at 16.0km/L (FWD model, JC08 mode).
