What is Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology?
Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology is a smarter approach to making driving better. Excellent fuel efficiency should never come at the cost of performance, so our driving-obsessed engineers found a way to enhance both with Skyactiv Technology. From body construction and engine technology to the chassis and transmission, every aspect of the vehicle is engineered to maximize driving dynamics and efficiency. It also allows Mazda to offer impressive EPA-estimated MPG ratings without compromising performance. Skyactiv Technology is just one of the ways Mazda makes driving better.

Small Details Make a Big Impact
Mazda never stops when it comes to making our vehicles the best-driving cars in every class. Demonstrating this commitment, Mazda engineers are obsessed with reaching this goal that they spent eight years developing the most subtle technology to improve performance. They came up with Skyactiv-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control, which enhances a vehicle’s dynamics on an extremely minute level. It makes every drive more enjoyable.
Offering Cleaner, More Fuel-Efficient Engines
Because conventional internal combustion engines only utilize about 30 percent of the potential energy of fuel, Mazda engineered a smarter engine. Pushing the limits of internal combustion, the Mazda Skyactiv engine technology offers 2.0L and 2.5L gasoline engines that deliver much greater fuel efficiency. They also have higher compression ratios than conventional engines. Squeezing far more energy from every drop of fuel, Mazda Skyactiv engines can compress the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders to an extraordinary degree. All of this gives you excellent fuel efficiency, which is both better for the environment and saves you time and money at the gas pump.
A Stronger, Lighter Body
Not to be outdone, the Skyactiv platform of the vehicle’s body and chassis is at the center of the Mazda driving experience. The chassis achieves two seemingly contradictory goals at once: nimbleness at low speeds and stability at high speeds. The framework incorporates ultra-high tensile-strength steel in critical areas to help make it lighter, yet stiffer and stronger. All of this combines to give you the best driving experience you’ve ever had.
Engaging Transmissions
Skyactiv Technology offers both an automatic and a manual transmission. The Skyactiv-Drive 6-speed automatic shifts smoothly and quickly for steady acceleration. Its advanced control module ensures precision, responsiveness and efficiency. Meanwhile, the Skyactiv-MT 6-speed manual transmission’s short-throw is inspired by the legendary Mazda MX-5 Miata.
