Mazdas breakthrough Skyactiv Technology is an innovative automotive engineering strategy that is designed to create a unique sense of oneness on the road. Based on an ancient Japanese principle called Jinba Ittai, or horse and rider as one, Skyactiv Technology creates a natural, intuitive relationship between vehicle and driver. With each Skyactiv component working seamlessly together, youll also enjoy superior fuel economy, enhanced safety and lower emissions. To create a drive youll anticipate day after day.
The SKYACTIV family of engines deliver greater fuel economy and fewer emissions, in a lightweight, responsive design. Every time a SKYACTIV engine is fired up, an immediate connection between vehicle and driver occurs. With multiple engines to choose from, the SKYACTIV line-up is geared to perform.
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:
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
With the worlds 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
Available in most Mazda models
Transmissions are a touchstone for drivers that give them immediate control of their vehicle. Skyactiv transmissions are tailor-made to work in harmony with Skyactiv engines and are designed specifically to deliver superb responsiveness characteristic of the feeling of Jinba Ittai. Skyactiv transmissions are also specifically designed to enhance fuel economy.
