New hybrid powertrain: 2.5l e-Skyactiv G

The biggest news among the updated models is the introduction of the 2.5l e-Skyactiv G engine, equipped with Mazda’s Mild-Hybrid technology. This 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, also available in the Mazda CX-5, features a high compression ratio, cylinder deactivation and the M-Hybrid system. Usable torque at low to medium speeds has increased significantly, which the brand says provides a dynamic driving experience without sacrificing emissions and fuel economy. For those looking for more power, the 2.0-liter e-Skyactiv X engine with 186 hp remains available.
