4 Fuel Saving Technologies You Will Find In the 2018 Mazda 3 Fuel economy is a big deal in the price-sensitive compact class, and the Mazda3 offers plenty of improvements that make it more efficient. Mazda never stops when it comes to making their vehicles the best in every segment. Its engineers spent eight years developing innovative technology that vastly improves your new car's performance. Keep reading to discover four fuel-saving innovations that you'll find in the 2018 Mazda3.

SKYACTIV-G Engine

Mazda is one car company that doesn't have to compromise power to improve fuel economy. With a dramatically different approach, its SKYACTIV equipment is more than just an efficient engine. The Mazda3 delivers power and performance in abundance and offers up an astounding EPA-estimated 37 highway mpg and up to 500 miles of maximum range from its 13.2-gallon tank.

Standard internal combustion engines utilize roughly 30 percent of its fuel's potential energy, so Mazda designed an innovative new engine. With higher compression ratios, the second-generation SKYACTIV-G engines use pressure, not spark plugs, to highly compress the air-fuel mixture, squeezing as much energy as possible from every drop of fuel. This contemporary science proves that electrification isn't the only solution to the internal combustion engine's limitations.

Drive your 2018 Mazda3 sedan off the lot with one of two state-of-the-art SKYACTIV-G engines. Choose from the 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder paired with a stock six-speed automatic, or the larger 2.5-liter inline that, when combined with the standard six-speed manual gearbox, delivers a punchy, yet fuel-efficient 184-horsepower.

Stronger, Lighter Chassis

The new Mazda3's platform consists of the body and chassis with two goals: athletic performance at low speeds, and stability and control at high speeds. Mazda's engineers incorporated high strength steel in critical areas of the 3's body to make it lighter and more fuel-efficient, yet stiffer and stronger.

Automatic Transmission

Mazda's SKYACTIV-G engines have a best friend in the fuel-economy scene. When equipped with the SKYACTIV-DRIVE1 six-speed automatic transmission, you'll also get a car that's fitted with manual-shift and Sport mode. Enjoy quick start-ups, and a smooth transition from gear to gear with your gas-saving transmission, thanks to Mazda's engineers.

This combination returns up to 7 percent improved fuel economy over its manual counterparts in both city and highway driving tests. Mazda's new gearbox achieves excellent torque through a more extensive lockup range and offers drivers the direct feel of a manual powertrain.

i-ELOOP Package

Want to talk about fuel saving innovations? Mazda developed a system that harnesses energy from your brakes and converts it into usable electricity. This power is used to run everything from your Mazda3's headlights, climate control features, and audio system.

By looping energy, Mazda reduces the need to draw power from burning fuel. This ground-breaking package is available on the Mazda3 that's equipped with the 2.5-liter engine and automatic transmission. i-ELOOP drivers are going to see the most fuel-economy benefits in stop-and-go traffic.

Take the everyday out of driving with your new Mazda3. It's designed to stand out from the crowd, and avoid the pump. Get your Sport trim starting at $18,095 from your local showroom today.
