Mazda’s SkyActiv Technology Provides Increased Fuel Efficiency and Powertrain Output

Mazda’s SkyActiv technology is a conscious choice to keep Mazda vehicles sporty and performance-oriented, meanwhile helping the environment by increasing fuel economy. Keeping this philosophy in mind, let’s explore how various parts of a Mazda vehicle are enhanced by SkyActiv technology:

• Engine – Mazda completely revised the way that fuel efficiency could be increased in the engine without stripping away performance. Through improvements in the actual internal combustion of the engine, such as increasing compression ratios and effective excessive heat management, direct injection, and valve-timing, Mazda has significantly increased the efficiency of SkyActiv engines.
• Transmission – Mazda’s SkyActiv automatic and manual transmission choices both give you performance and great fuel economy. The automatic transmission combines the best of dual-clutch, continuously-variable, and automatic transmissions to bring you faster torque response and better gas mileage. The SkyActiv manual transmission similarly has a reduced weight and size and has a higher lever ratio to provide the feel of a sports car without creating a huge carbon footprint.
• Platform – Driving quality is one of the hallmarks of Mazda vehicles, so naturally SkyActiv technology is apparent in the chassis and platform of our cars. A rigid body design using high-tensile steel and industry-leading lightweight materials gives Mazda vehicles their legendary fun-to-drive attitudes.
