Mazda is fully commited to green technology. But first and foremost is driver enjoyment.

That is the Mazda difference.

Our benchmark was the MX-5. Every model using a SKYACTIV engine, be it a hatchback, sports saloon or an SUV must be as throttle responsive and have that same fun feel.

SKYACTIV technology offers better economy, more power and torque at low revs, less friction and an ultra-efficient exhaust system like a Formula One car.

The six-speed manual gearshift mimics the enthusiastic snappy-action the MX-5 is blessed with.

We conduct wind tunnel tests of 200km/hour to see how cleanly a Mazda cuts through the air, to achieve the very best looking exteriors and aerodynamic features.

A crucial tool in Mazda's quest to cut fuel economy and make greener cars is to continue to cut weight.

There is a common misconception that strength and weight go hand in hand. But that's a fallacy. Mazda is committed to making its cars both lighter and safer.
