/ SKYACTIV-CHASSIS /
Engineered together with the SKYACTIV-Body to work in perfect
harmony, the steering and suspension systems achieve two
seemingly contradictory goals at once: to be nimble at low
speeds, yet stable at high speeds. We also engineered them
to be light, allowing for a more direct and agile feel.
/ SKYACTIV-G /
By 2020, 90% of the world will still be using gasoline or diesel
combustion engines. So how do we reduce emissions and
increase fuel efficiency on a grand scale? By reimagining the
internal combustion engine. Current engines waste upwards of
70% of their energy potential, so we saw this as an enormous
opportunity: create an engine that works better, uses less fuel
and emits less CO
2
. Our SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter engine produces
10% to 15% more low/mid-range torque, yet 15% lower fuel
consumption and emissions than our previous 2.0-liter engine.
The SKYACTIV-G 2.5L engine in the Touring and Grand Touring
models promises more power with ultra-low emissions, and
lower fuel consumption as well.
/ SKYACTIV-BODY /
We are constantly searching for new ways to help make you
safer behind the wheel. That’s why Mazda is the first auto
manufacturer to use ultra-high tensile steel in the body. Because
we crafted an efficient structural design and used ultra-high
tensile and high tensile steel in critical areas, the CX-5’s body
is lighter than normal, yet it’s stiffer and stronger.
/ SKYACTIV-MT /
This six-speed manual transmission has a short throw
inspired by the legendary MX-5 Miata. It’s also smaller, lighter
and stronger than any we’ve built before.
/ SKYACTIV-DRIVE /
Our engineers created a new kind of precise, high-performance
automatic transmission that combines the direct, responsive
feel of a manual transmission with the silky smoothness of an
automatic. It’s instantly responsive, yet delivers 7% more
efficiency than our previous automatic transmission.
“SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY... IS A
WHOLE NEW, MORE EFFICIENT
WAY OF ENGINEERING CARS.
REALLY.”

MAGICIANS NEVER TELL THEIR SECRETS. BUT WE'RE CAR FANATICS, SO HERE YOU GO.
How did we achieve the elusive feat of fuel efficiency, low emissions and outstanding driving performance living together in the same
vehicle? By refusing to compromise. And that meant starting from scratch and reimagining what’s possible. The CX-5 is the first Mazda
to feature the entire suite of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY—systems developed from the ground up at the same time to make sure each
component was not only pushed to its full potential, but also worked together seamlessly to create incredible fuel efficiency without
sacrificing driving enjoyment. Here’s a “look behind the curtain” to see how we did it.
