Learn About the Skyactiv Technology Components That Make Up Your Mazda
When looking at the engine of the Mazda6, Mazda CX-5 or other new or lightly used vehicle you're interested in, you'll notice it has some kind of Skyactiv nomenclature. That shared branded language continues with either the automatic transmission or manual setup you choose, and even the body and chassis of your Mazda is a Skyactiv design. Having these four major areas united under one technology umbrella ensures everything with your Mazda is constantly working in perfect harmony.
Most Mazda cars will feature a Skyactiv-G engine, which provides four-cylinders, often turbocharged, to deliver a balance of efficiency and capabilities. Relatively new to the fold, the Skyactiv-D diesel engines that are becoming more available these days will provide a new blend of premium efficiency and dynamic driving. This setup is available in certain trims of the Mazda CX-5 and will soon be offered with the all-new Mazda CX-30, another compact crossover. For your transmission, you can choose either the Skyactiv-Drive, an automatic setup in name only, as it blends the best of CVTs, dual-clutch and conventional automatics. For slightly different driving dynamics, the Skyactiv-MT provides that manual setup that allows you to command your gear shifting.
Combining those innovative engines and transmission styles with the Skyactiv-Body and Skyactiv-Chassis makes your Mazda nimble and responsive to your steering, acceleration, braking and other commands from behind the steering wheel. Making the body both rigid and lightweight, with a high-end chassis, Mazda creates cars and crossovers that are ready for all your travels.
