Every year, as new models hit the market, drivers are focusing on certain aspects of the vehicles they shop for. Over the past few years, drivers have become more and more interested in fuel efficiency. Thanks to expensive gas prices and a renewed national focus on caring for the environment, MPGs have become a pretty big deal. As you shop the 2020 lineup of new Mazda vehicles, you may be wondering where they fall in the ranking of fuel-efficient cars. Here are a few things to know about when considering 2020 Mazdas and their gas mileage.
The Upcoming Mazda 6 Signature SKYACTIV-D
A diesel engine in a luxury sedan? Why, yes. The future Mazda 6 Signature model will be introducing the SKYACTIV-D, a turbo diesel engine, to the Mazda 6 sedan. This new powertrain will use a 2.2-liter turbo diesel inline four-cylinder engine to provide some serious power without sacrificing efficiency.
2020 Mazda CX-30
The 2020 Mazda CX-30 will be released in the year 2020, and promises a cross between the CX-3 and CX-5 models for a mid-size SUV. With the available SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine equipped, this model will provide impressively efficient driving for a spacious SUV. When you get behind the wheel of the new CX-30, you’ll enjoy Mazda’s sleek design style, plenty of space, and an fuel-saving drive.
i-ACTIV AWD
Mazda offers drivers all-wheel drive capability without sacrificing fuel efficiency with the newly designed i-ACTIV AWD system available on certain 2020 models. This intelligent and autonomous all-wheel-drive system uses sensors to monitor individual wheel speed and road conditions. Anytime the system detects potentially wasted energy, it will automatically reconfigure the power disbursement for optimal energy use.
Other all-wheel-drive systems can waste fuel by constantly sending power to all of the wheels even when the roads are clear and such power is unnecessary. Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD provides an approach to control that’s much more customized to every drive experience. Basically, you’ll get all-wheel drive control when you need it, and two-wheel drive efficiency when you don’t.
SKYACTIV Technology and Design
Mazda’s design ideas have always been based on the Japanese philosophy of Jinba Ittai, which focuses on the horse and its rider as one entity. As the new 2020 models are being designed and released, we’ll continue to see this philosophy carried out, especially as Mazda seeks to provide exciting power in conjunction with impressive fuel efficiency.
SKYACTIV technology and design is a result of this endeavor. Mazda vehicles are designed to be aerodynamic for an efficient build and are equipped with powerful and smart engines. New engine technologies work to never waste energy whether you’re driving at full speed or idling at a traffic light. The mixture of air and fuel that enters a SKYACTIV engine is perfectly compressed to squeeze every last drop of energy out of the provided fuel.
At Russell & Smith Mazda, we would love to get you behind the wheel of a new Mazda. Get out for a test drive and see these fuel-saving features in action.
