Three ways that SKYACTIV technology helps improve Mazda fuel economy
May 13 2022,
SKYACTIV technology is one of the most advanced technologies in the automotive industry and it has been a staple of Mazda vehicles for over 10 years. SKYACTIV technology isn't just one particular system or one particular component, it is ultimately a range of improvements made to new Mazda vehicles that ensure the highest level of performance while also significantly improving efficiency.
Here are three ways that Mazda vehicles with SKYACTIV technology can help you save on fuel.
A Mazda vehicle with SKYACTIV technology has a higher compression ratio
A SKYACTIV engine has one of the highest compression ratios of any engine in the segments where it competes. With a compression ratio of 14:1, a SKYACTIV engine is designed to extract the most energy from every drop of fuel which means that there is less waste and every bit of fuel that enters the cylinder is optimized to get the most energy back. A higher compression ratio leads to better fuel economy because the fuel in the cylinder and engine is better utilized.
SKYACTIV engines have a less restrictive exhaust
SKYACTIV engines are designed to breathe better through less restrictive exhausts and optimized components. How your engine circulates air and how the air flows through the system is critical to fuel economy. Mazda engineers have worked very hard to ensure that the exhaust system and engine airflow is as optimized as possible in SKYACTIV engines.
Impressive overall engineering
The enemy of fuel efficiency is weight and inefficient energy transfers. SKYACTIV engines and the components that are attached to them including the transmission, steering, and even the body of the vehicle are all optimized to function in a way that ensures the highest level of efficiency and the lowest level of fuel consumption. In other words, Mazda engineers have tweaked the different components to guarantee that they function at their best and the end result is higher efficiency with better performance.
