FUEL ECONOMY 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. Sky_LowerFuel.jpg 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. Sky_HighEfficiency.jpg 6-hole direct fuel injector A high-pressure 6-hole direct fuel injector helps keep fuel cool to improve combustion efficiency. Sky_DirectFuelInjector.jpg ENGINES 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. Sky_LowerFuel.jpg Raise the compression ratio The dome-shaped pistons in the SKYACTIV-G engine raise the compression ratio, harnessing more energy from fuel. Sky_CompressionRatio.jpg 4 ENGINES Reduces friction The SKYACTIV-G engine improves oil and water pump efficiency, and reduces friction in pistons, rods and crank shaft. Sky_ReducesFriction.jpg 4-2-1 exhaust manifold The special 4-2-1 exhaust manifold is one of the innovations in the SKYACTIV-G engine that helps make a high compression ratio possible. Sky_ExhaustManifold.jpg TRANSMISSION 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. Sky_Responsiveness.jpg 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. Sky_MoreTorque.jpg 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. Sky_ManualTransmission.jpg 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. Sky_AutomaticTransmission.jpg 5 BODY AND CHASSIS 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. Sky_BodyRigidity.jpg 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. Sky_TensileSteel.jpg Steel & aluminum Until now welding two different metals such as steel and aluminum has been a difficult task. However, by optimizing the rotating tool shape and joining characteristics, and by using galvanized steel on one side, joining steel and aluminum has been made possible. Sky_SteelAluminum.jpg 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.

Built to sense, and respond to these conditions, i-ACTIV AWD helps to ensure a more confident drive. SENSING CONDITIONS Hero_Sensing_Conditions.jpg Driver intent The i-ACTIV AWD system uses numerous sensors to determine the driver’s intentions. Is the driver intending to accelerate? How sharply is the steering wheel turned? How much pressure is on the brakes? These and other considerations are taken into account, and determine how the system reacts in order to achieve optimum control. iACTIV_DriverIntent.jpg Road conditions i-ACTIV AWD constantly monitors exterior temperature, wiper operation, the amount of torque required to turn the front wheels and the load on the engine. As a result, the system knows if it’s snowing or raining, if the road is slippery, if the driver is on a hill or attempting to turn. This enables the i-ACTIV AWD system to accurately predict when slippage will occur. iACTIV_RoadConditions.jpg Slip protection i-ACTIV AWD is designed to send just enough torque to the rear wheels to prevent slippage from occurring. By doing this, it provides the traction associated with all-wheel drive, while minimizing the impact on fuel consumption. iACTIV_SlipProtection.jpg 9 Calculation An ideal split of torque between the front and rear wheels is achieved through the i-ACTIV AWD command module’s innovative 200-times-per-second calculations, allowing for quick and responsive reactions that ensure a better, controlled drive. iACTIV_Calculation.jpg Response Direction from the command module lets the i-ACTIV AWD system apply the required torque to the wheels to deliver an exceptionally stable driving experience with better control over acceleration, turns, breaking and slippage. iACTIV_Response.jpg UNCOMPROMISED FUEL EFFICIENCY i-ACTIV AWD was designed to deliver exceptional responsiveness and to challenge the convention that an AWD vehicle must be inefficient. In order to deliver the benefits of AWD and excellent fuel efficiency they set out to reduce the weight of the AWD components and to minimize frictional losses. Reducing frictional losses Engineers even studied the way the oil moves through the gears in order to enhance the efficiency of the system. iACTIV_FrictionalLosses.jpg Weight reduction In creating i-ACTIV AWD, engineers carefully scrutinized the design and materials used

  • SKYACTIV-X Next-Generation Gasoline Engine: Our Contribution to the Earth, People, and Society
    Feature Story 1: SKYACTIV- X Feature Story 1 SKYACTIV-X Next-Generation Gasoline Engine: Our Contribution to the Earth, People, and Society At Mazda, our goal is to protect the earth by reducing carbon dioxide emissions in real-world driving as much as possible. Since the internal combustion engine is expected to power the majority of vehicles for many years to come, we believe that perfecting it is the greatest contribution we can make to cutting carbon dioxide emissions. The SKYACTIV-X next-generation gasoline engine, announced in August 2017, brings us one step closer to realizing our dream engine. Combining the advantages of both gasoline and diesel engines, the SKYACTIV-X was born of Mazda’s mission to bring about a beautiful earth, to enrich people’s lives as well as society, and to seek ways to inspire people through the value found in cars. Interview with the lead engineer of the SKYACTIV-X next-generation engine Pursuit of the ultimate engine Q: What is the SKYACTIV-X and how is it different from previous engines? A: Simply put, the SKYACTIV-X is a gasoline engine that combines the advantages of gasoline and diesel engines in a manner befitting the title “next-generation.” It helps the earth and people by offering unprecedented environmental performance and responsive driving. For example, it improves fuel efficiency up to 20-30 percent over Mazda’s current gasoline engine and also increases torque*1 10- Eiji Nakai 30 percent. Basically, it offers the driving performance of General Manager Powertrain Development Division *1 A measure of the rotational or driving force generated by an engine.
