Is the Mazda 3 Axela a Compression Ignition Engine?

[StSienna]

Not all Mazda 3 Axela models are equipped with compression ignition engines; only those with the SKYACTIV-X engine are the compression ignition versions. A compression ignition engine is an internal combustion engine that does not rely on an electric spark for ignition but instead uses the high temperature and pressure of the cylinder charge at the end of compression to cause the mixture to self-ignite. The Axela is a compact sedan under the Mazda brand, which comes with two engine options: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 86 kW and a maximum torque of 148 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6,100 rpm and the maximum torque at 3,500 rpm. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine produces a maximum power of 158 PS and a maximum torque of 202 Nm, with the maximum power reached at 6,000 rpm and the maximum torque at 4,000 rpm.
