SKYACTIV-X

Combine the sharp initial response and powerful torque of a diesel engine with the faithful, linear response of a petrol powerplant. That’s Skyactiv-X, the next step towards the ideal internal combustion engine. It’s made possible by Mazda’s revolutionary Spark Controlled Compression Ignition (SPCCI) technology, the world’s first* petrol engine with compression ignition control. By refining fuel injection and controlling ignition to previously unattainable levels, Skyactiv-X achieves unheard-of improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions with no sacrifice in Mazda’s trademark driving pleasure.

MAZDA HARMONIC ACOUSTICS

Assured control of sound in the cabin — whether noise or music — is another key element of driving pleasure, superbly achieved by Mazda Harmonic Acoustics. This far-reaching audio initiative was developed to create a quiet cabin that insulates you from unwanted and distracting outside noise, while still allowing for the subtle sounds from the road and engine that add to the driving experience. It also drove the design of the audio system to deliver the same rich sound at both low and high volumes. Particular attention was paid to speaker placement to give deep, satisfying bass and clear, well-localized mid- and high frequencies. The result is detailed, natural reproduction of music with astonishing depth and clarity at any volume.
