SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY

In Mazda's pursuit of better environmental performance, their objective was to reduce fuel consumption and emissions without compromising driving performance. They began by engineering every major component of the automobile to work together in harmony. The result was something ground breaking:

Engine:

A new-generation of highly-efficient engines with world beating compression ratio developed in pursuit of ideal compression.

SKYACTIV-G

The world's first gasoline engine for mass production vehicles to achieve a high compression ratio of 14.0:1
Significantly improved engine efficiency thanks to high compression combustion, resulting in 15% increases in fuel efficiency and torque
Improved everyday driving thanks to increased torque at low-to mid-engine speeds
A 4-2-1 exhaust system, cavity pistons, multi-hole injectors and other innovations enable the high compression ratio

Transmission:

A new-generation highly-efficient automatic transmission that achieves excellent torque transfer efficiency through a wider lockup range and features the best attributes of all transmission types.

Combines all the advantages of conventional automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmissions and dual Clutch transmissions
A dramatically widened lock-up range improves torque transfer efficiency and realizes a direct driving feel that is equivalent to a manual transmission
A 4% to 7% improvement in fuel economy compared to the current transmission
