SKYACTIV-X M HYBRID

Mazda will always push boundaries when it comes to innovation, and in today’s environment it’s more important than ever to lead the way in terms of sustainability. We’re excited to announce a major new innovation that is set to arrive on our shores – Skyactiv-X M Hybrid. This revolutionary technology defines a new generation of motoring that maintains driving enjoyment, whilst playing a vital role in our multi-solution approach towards emission reduction.

Skyactiv-X M Hybrid is an engine that changes everything. Our pioneering engineers succeeded where others failed. Skyactiv-X burns petrol more efficiently thanks to our Spark Controlled Compression Ignition (SPCCI). It makes more power but produces fewer emissions and uses less fuel than a regular petrol engine for an even better drive without compromise. Soon you’ll be able to experience this feat of engineering for yourself as Skyactiv-X M Hybrid will be coming to both Mazda CX-30 and Mazda3.

Skyactiv-X M Hybrid uses a unique Mazda technology called Spark Controlled Compression Ignition (SPCCI). SPCCI combines the fuel-efficiency and low end torque of a diesel with the power and drivability of a petrol engine. The engine switches seamlessly between conventional spark ignition and a compression ignition mode where a lean fuel-air mix is compressed so that it will combust even more efficiently. It’s the best of both worlds.

M Hybrid is our innovative evolution of hybrid car technology. It uses an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) to capture energy and store it in a lithium ion battery. This is then used to power electrical systems and provide additional torque. Unlike a plug in hybrid, or a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, no plug or charging is required.

When you decelerate in Skyactiv-X M Hybrid, the integrated starter motor generator produces electricity which is stored in a 24 volt battery. Take a closer look at how it works below.

Exceptional performance and true driving enjoyment are at the heart of every Mazda, and it is certainly no exception with Skyactiv-X M Hybrid. This engine is up to 30% more efficient than the current Skyactiv-G 2.0L engine which means you’ll enjoy even more Zoom-Zoom with every drive.
