Mazda: More power, less consumption
ECONOMIC More torque and power, less consumption and emissions: The unique Skyactiv-X SPCCI gasoline engine has been optimized and is used in Europe in the latest Mazda3 and CX-30 models. The output of the improved 2.0-liter Skyactiv-X gasoline engine has been increased once again and now delivers more thrust and torque. As a result, peak power increases from 180 at 6000 rpm [...]
The output of the improved 2.0-liter Skyactiv-X gasoline engine has been increased once again and now delivers more thrust and torque. As a result, maximum output at 6000 rpm rises from 180 hp to 186 hp and maximum revs at 4000 rpm from 224 Nm to 240 Nm.
Less fuel consumption and emissions
There are also improvements in gasoline consumption of 0.4 liters per 100 kilometers and a reduction in CO2 emissions of 12 grams per kilometer for the CX-30 e-SKYACTIV X AWD AT.
These improvements in both performance and economy were achieved by adjusting the compression ratio in the Skyactiv-X engine from 16.3:1 to 15.0:1.
More efficient combustion
Other improvements also include optimization of the combustion control system, modified pistons and an update to the system software for the Mazda M mild hybrid system.
This not only leads to a broader operating spectrum of combustion efficiency, but also ensures even greater ignition stability. This further reduces the already very low risk of unexpected self-ignition or pre-ignition due to fuel quality fluctuations in different markets.
Popular motorization
The Skyactiv-X engine currently accounts for around 40 % of Mazda3 and CX-30 sales in Switzerland. The Mazda CX-30 and Mazda3 e-SKYACTIV X are available with a six-speed Skyactiv-MT manual transmission or with the six-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic. Both models can be equipped with front-wheel drive or Mazda's i-Activ all-wheel drive system.
The engines in the e-Skyactiv G versions also benefit from technical improvements in the control of the Mazda M hybrid system and the engine control electronics. Both together have resulted in fuel savings of up to 0.5 liters per 100 kilometers; for the Mazda3, this is a minus of 12 grams of CO2 per kilometer. For the CX-30, it's up to 0.4 liters saved per 100 kilometers and a reduction of 9 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
Easier recognition of the electrified models
In addition, the names and logos of "SKYACTIV-X"" and "SKYACTIV-G" will be gradually replaced with e-SKYACTIV X and e-SKYACTIV G to enable customers to easily recognize Mazda brand electrified models.
The name "e-SKYACTIV" - as the generic term for Mazda's electrification technology - premiered to a certain extent along with the all-new Mazda MX-30 in October 2019 at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Unchanged prices
The all-new Mazda MX-30 is the first model to carry the e-SKYACTIV logo since its launch. It is now joined by the Mazda3 and the Mazda CX-30 of 2021, which are equipped with Mazda M hybrid technology regardless of the version and engine selected.
Prices remain unchanged from the 2020 models. Mazda3 and CX-30 are on sale from CHF 27,990 and CHF 29,650 respectively.
