Mazda has perfected a cutting-edge look that makes all of their vehicles appear as though they’ve arrived here from the future. But you know what they say: You should never judge a book by its cover. Luckily, Mazda vehicles are just as advanced as they look.
The SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY Mazda utilizes throughout their vehicle lineup is designed to adhere to a simple premise: When the components of a system are engineered to work together, that system will operate at peak efficiency. This emphasis on technology that works together allows Mazda vehicles to deliver efficiency without sacrificing performance. Rather than short-changing one area to excel in another, Mazda vehicles are built to be greater than the sum of their parts.
The SKYACTIV®-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission features an advanced control module that ensures precision, responsiveness, and a ride characterized by smooth shifting and steady acceleration. The SKYACTIV®-MT 6-speed manual transmission features a short-throw inspired by the renowned Mazda MX-5 Miata. The SKYACTIVE® TECHNOLOGY platform consists of the vehicle body and chassis. An incredible feat of engineering, the chassis delivers nimbleness at low speeds and stability at high speeds. By using ultra-high tensile-strength steel in critical areas of the framework, Mazda engineers were able to make the chassis lighter, stiffer, and stronger.
SKYACTIV®-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring control take the Mazda driving experience even further. When you’re out on the road, this highly efficient vehicle movement control system is working in the background to optimize every aspect of your drive and create harmony between you and your vehicle.
