SKYACTIV-G 2.5 T DYNAMIC PRESSURE TURBO

Outstanding horsepower and torque are harnessed to achieve superb fuel economy, agile handling and refreshing performance of the highest quality.

Features include:

• An Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) lowers combustion temperature and improves fuel economy.
• 10.5:1 compression ratio – one of the highest for an inline 4-cylinder, turbocharged engine

Available in:

SKYACTIV-G GASOLINE ENGINES

The Skyactiv-G 2.0 L and 2.5 L engines improve everyday driving by producing more low/mid-range torque, yet has lower fuel consumption and emissions than our previous gasoline engines, resulting in 15 percent increases in fuel efficiency and torque. Cylinder Deactivation is available in 2.5 L engines on select models.

Features include:

• A high 13.0:1 compression ratio improves fuel efficiency and torque thanks to the high compression combustion
• A high-pressure 6-hole direct fuel injector improves combustion efficiency

Available in most Mazda models

SKYACTIV-D 2.2 DUAL TURBO DIESEL ENGINE

With the world’s lowest diesel-engine compression ratio, the Skyactiv-D 2.2 turbo diesel engine was developed to comply with strict emission regulations. To reduce emissions, the engine adopts a urea Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) exhaust scrubbing system paired with a NOx Storage Catalyst (NSC) that converts nitrous oxides (NOx) back into harmless nitrogen. Crafted with high-efficiency sequential dual turbochargers, Skyactiv-D ensures a smooth, direct response as well as superb acceleration.

Features include:

• 20 percent better fuel efficiency than conventional diesel engines thanks to the low compression ratio of 14.0:1
• Two-stage turbocharging realizes smooth and linear response from low to high engine speeds, and greatly increases low- and high-end torque.
• Complies with global emissions regulations without expensive NOx aftertreatment

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.

Features include:

• A short shift throw achieves an incredibly light, crisp feel, just like a sports car
• By pursuing the ideal structure of manual transmissions, 16% weight reduction was achieved, resulting in improved fuel economy

6-SPEED SKYACTIV-DRIVE

Our high-performance automatic transmission combines the direct feel of a manual transmission with the silky smoothness of an automatic. You get sharper, more responsive acceleration and sporty performance.

Features include:

• 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

SKYACTIV-BODY

Through smarter engineering and materials, we focused on body rigidity (for better handling), lightness, excellent crash safety performance and fuel economy. For the basic framework, we adopted the concepts of “straightening,” and a “continuous framework” in which each section functions in a coordinated manner with the other sections of the framework.

Features include:

• High rigidity and lightness (8 percent lighter, 30 percent more rigid)
• Crash safety performance that meets the top criteria for crash safety assessments worldwide

SKYACTIV-CHASSIS

Designed to deliver the responsive thrill that Mazda vehicles are known for, 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.

Features include:

• Suspension and steering functions achieve the “driving pleasure of oneness between car and driver”
• Driving quality has been raised to new levels through improvements to comfort and security
