Skyactiv Technology


 





 
 
Features of SKYACTIV-G
  • The world's first gasoline engine for mass production vehicles to achieve a high compression ratio of 14.0:1
  • Significantly improved engine efficiency thanks to the high compression combustion, resulting in 15 percent increases in fuel efficiency and torque.
  • Improved everyday driving thanks to increased torque at low-to mid-engine speeds.
  • A 4-2-1 exhaust system, cavity pistons, multihole injectors and other innovations enable the high compression ratio.

 
 Features of SKYACTIV-D
  • 20 percent better fuel efficiency thanks to the low compression ratio of 14.0:1
  • A new two-stage turbocharger realizes smooth and linear response from low to high engine speeds, and greatly increases low-and high-end torque (up to the  5,200 rpm rev limit)
  • Complies with global emissions regulations (Euro6 in Europe, Tier2Bin5 in North America, and the Post New Long-Term Regulations in Japan), without expensive NOx aftertreatment
  


 
  
 Features of SKYACTIV-DRIVE
  • Combines all the advantages of conventional automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmissions, amd 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
  • A 4-to-7 percent improvement in fuel economy compared to the current transmission
 
 Features of SKYACTIV-MT
  • A light and crisp shift feel like that of a sports car
  • Compact size and reduced weight
  
 


   Features of SKYACTIV-BODY
  • High rigidity and lightness (8 percent lighter, 30 percent more rigid)
  • Crash safety performance that meets the top criteria for crash safety assessment in all markets(US-NCAP, Euro-NCAP, IIHS, JNCAP, etc )
 
 Features of SKYACTIV-CHASSIS
  • Suspension and steering functions have been thoroughly revised to achieve the "driving pleasure of oneness between car and driver"
  • Driving quality has been raised to new levels through improvements to comfort and security.
  • Newly-developed front and rear suspension systems and electric power steering. Functional improvements are combined with reduced weight. The entire chassis is 14%* lighter than the previous model.
*Features are for a CD-segment car (Mazda6 class)
