Excellent fuel efficiency shouldn't come at the expense of performance. Mazda's SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY enhances both. From body construction to engine technology, and from the chassis to the transmission transmission and everything in between; every aspect of a new Mazda vehicle has been engineered to maximize driving dynamics and efficiency. SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY offers impressive EPA-estimated MPG ratings while maintaining performance.
Internal combustion engines tend to harness only about 30% of the fuel's potential energy. However, SKYACTIV®-G 2.0L and 2.5L gasoline engines push the limits of the internal combustion engine to deliver much greater fuel efficiency by compressing the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders to an extraordinary degree, squeezing far more energy from every drop of fuel.
The SKYACTIV®-Drive 6-speed automatic shifts smoothly and quickly for steady acceleration. Responsiveness and efficiency is ensured though an advanced control module.
Inspired by the Mazda MX-5 Miata, SKYACTIV®-MT 6-speed manual transmission's short-throw is built for those who love the feel of manual shifting.
At the center of Mazda's SKYACTIV® driving experience is the body and chassis. Achieving two seemingly contradictory goals at once, the chassis provides nimbleness at low speeds and stability at high speeds, while the framework utilizes ultra-high, tensile-strength steel in critical areas making it lighter, stronger and more rigid.
