What kind of transmission does the Mazda CX-5 use?

Mazda CX-5 uses the Skyactiv transmission brand. Mazda Motor Corporation, founded in 1920, officially began producing small trucks in Hiroshima in 1931 and started manufacturing passenger cars in the early 1960s. It has a very comprehensive product line, covering various models such as economy cars, SUVs, and sports cars, with family vehicles consistently dominating its production line. The Mazda CX-5 is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission. The manual transmission is used to change the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the driving wheels, allowing the car to achieve different levels of traction and speed. The 6AT indicates six forward gears, meaning there are six sets of gears with different transmission ratios. The manual-automatic transmission is essentially a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality. The purpose of the manual-automatic transmission is to provide more driving pleasure for automatic transmission vehicles. When using the Mazda CX-5's transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. While driving manual transmission models, many "experienced drivers" may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission models, coasting in neutral can cause the automatic transmission to overheat and produce a certain impact when shifting back into D gear. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, to demonstrate "smooth" operation, may shift directly into reverse gear before the vehicle has fully stopped, which can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and, over time, lead to issues such as gear grinding. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in D gear. When facing steep slopes, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift up too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, manual mode can be used to limit the gear to low speed or sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, a flatbed tow truck should be used to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while it is in N gear, rather than using a tow rope or towing the vehicle directly.
