These days, it seems like every automaker out there has some innovative, engine-based technology that improves fuel economy. For Mazda, that tech is a little more expansive. We're talking about SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY, of course--the innovative blend of chassis design, engine components, and drivetrain.

What sets SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY apart from other engine-based fuel economy systems is that it was designed in conjunction with the car's body, transmission, and platform. This allows all of the components to work together to bring landmark fuel economy to the vehicle.

But how does it work, exactly? A video we've found from Autobytel, which features a member of the Mazda R&D team, does a pretty good job of explaining it. Check it out below.

If fun driving dynamics and great gas mileage is high on your list, then we'd like to invite you to our Reno, NV dealership to take a gander at our new Mazda lineup. We can also sign you up for a test drive so you can experience it for yourself.
