About the MAZDA 2.5-Liter Engine

The engine in question is the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engine that was first introduced to the Mazda6 and Mazda CX-9. What distinguishes the engine from the competitors is its impressive 14.0:1 compression ratio that yields an estimated 15% improvement in fuel efficiency and torque.

How It Works

SKYACTIV®-G technology works by maximizing thermal efficiency while minimizing knocking combustion. This is achieved through a refined form of direct fuel injection that keeps temperatures stable by maintaining an intricate balance of heat and cooling production. This also eliminates the roughly 30% of fuel energy that’s otherwise expended for mechanical power use in a traditional combustible engine.

Models with the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-Liter Engine

Various models come with the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter engine as standard, starting from the base trim. One example is the Mazda CX-50 which produces 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque.

Another model is the Mazda CX-30 with a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation. Other models like the Mazda CX-90 have a similar albeit upgraded engine in the form of a 3.3-liter Turbo Inline-six engine.
