Mazda's SKYACTIV Technology Suite to Grace Redesigned 2014 Mazda3

By: Russell & Smith Mazda
 
Aug. 6, 2013 - PRLog -- HOUSTON -- Mazda's SKYACTIV technologies have been a hit on the recently redesigned Mazda6 and Mazda CX-5, and with the release of the 2014 Mazda3, it's time to expand the fuel-saving features to the automaker's best-selling model. The Mazda3 was the first model in the lineup to incorporate the SKYACTIV-G engine and SKYACTIV transmissions, but the new generation will also sport a SKYACTIV-Body and SKYACTIV-Chassis. Those changes will help the compact sedan return best-in-class highway fuel economy at 41 mpg when it arrives at dealerships in September.

The 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G engine will carry over to the 2014 model year, while a new 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G engine will be available for even more responsiveness and power. Outside, the Mazda3 will sport a kinetic look, with a five-point grille, sweptback headlights and curving lines angling back toward the rear of the vehicle. The design is more muscular than before, too, thanks to flared fenders and a wider stance.

"The Mazda3 has been a fan favorite for a while, and the redesigned 2014 model will be a refreshing breath of air in the compact segment," said Steve Rodriguez, general manager at Russell & Smith Mazda, a Mazda dealer in Houston, Texas. "Drivers can still expect the same fun-to-drive nature, but with the SKYACTIV system, they don't have to stop the fun to fill up."

Technological updates don't stop with the SKYACTIV system, as Mazda has updated the Mazda3 with the latest entertainment and safety features. A seven-inch touchscreen serves as home base to an optional next-gen human-machine interface (HMI) that reduces driver distractions. Meanwhile, the available i-ACTIVSENSE safety technologies use millimeter radars and cameras for the Forward Obstruction Warning, Mazda Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning System and Smart City Brake Support to alert drivers when they veer off-course.
