How Powerful is the Skyactiv Technology?

[StTessa]

Skyactiv Technology is a collective term for a series of technologies developed by Mazda, including engine technology, suspension technology, transmission technology, and body technology. Compared to other manufacturers, the most distinctive technical feature of Mazda's Skyactiv Technology lies in its naturally aspirated engine technology based on the Miller cycle. Mazda's Skyactiv engines primarily exhibit the following key characteristics: High Compression Ratio: A high compression ratio of 13:1, with European engines capable of reaching 14:1. A new piston and connecting rod design, 10% engine weight reduction, and an aluminum alloy cylinder block. High Efficiency: The Miller cycle enhances engine efficiency. The essence of the Miller cycle is to alter the engine's compression stroke, making the piston's expansion stroke longer than the compression stroke, thereby improving engine power and reducing fuel consumption. Others: Optimized internal structure with extensive use of electronic control devices. A new 4-2-1 exhaust layout effectively improves exhaust efficiency.
