Groundbreaking Innovation

Mazda’s breakthrough SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY is an innovative automotive engineering strategy that delivers superior fuel economy, enhanced safety, lower emissions and a natural, intuitive response to driver input – all without ever giving up an ounce of Mazda’s signature driving exhilaration.

Lower Fuel Consumption

The SKYACTIV-G 2.0 L engine produces more low/mid-range torque, yet has lower fuel consumption and emissions than our previous 2.0 L engine.

High Efficiency

The 2.5 L SKYACTIV-G engine has a high compression ratio for superior fuel economy and low- and mid-range torque that surpasses conventional gasoline engines.

6-hole Direct Fuel Injector

A high-pressure 6-hole direct fuel injector helps keep fuel cool to improve combustion efficiency.

Improved Torque

The SKYACTIV-G engine is the world’s first gasoline engine for mass production vehicles to achieve a high compression ratio of 13:1, capturing more energy from fuel and improving fuel efficiency and torque.

Raise the Compression Ratio

The dome-shaped pistons in the SKYACTIV-G engine raise the compression ratio, harnessing more energy from fuel.

Precise Responsiveness

To build the SKYACTIV-Drive transmission, we combined all the best features of modern transmissions to get smooth shifting, steady acceleration, and the precise responsiveness of a manual.

More Torque Quickly

The SKYACTIV-Drive transmission takes the speed of the driver’s pedal inputs into account. When the pedal is pressed slowly, the transmission does not shift until the driver has used all available torque. When the pedal is pressed quickly, the transmission shifts down sooner to give the driver more torque more quickly.

6-Speed SKYACTIV-MT

Inspired by the legendary MX-5, the 6-speed SKYACTIV-MT manual transmission is smaller, lighter and stronger than any we’ve built before – promoting better fuel economy.

More Fuel Efficiency

SKYACTIV-Drive transmission delivers more fuel efficiency than our previous automatic transmission, combining the responsive feel of a manual with the smoothness of an automatic.

Improved Body Rigidity

Through smarter engineering and materials, we were able to improve body rigidity (for better handling) and shed weight, all while improving crash safety performance and fuel economy.

Ultra-High-Tensile Steel

We are constantly searching for new ways to make you safer behind the wheel. That’s why Mazda is the first auto manufacturer to use ultra-high-tensile steel in body construction.

Nimble at Low Speed, Stable at High Speed

The SKYACTIV-Chassis steering and suspension systems achieve two seemingly contradictory goals – nimble at low speeds, yet stable at high speeds. And stability and responsiveness are both key components of how a vehicle performs when safety matters.
