Mazda’s SKYACTIV 2.5T Receives Recognition

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Mazda LogoNo surprise here, Mazda racks up yet another prestigious award for its engineering excellence.  One of the 2017 Wards 10Best Engines awards goes to Mazda for its SKYACTIV 2.5T engine.  #Mazda continues to lead the way, with this turbocharged engine that is innovative in more than one way.

 

You’ll find this SKYACTIV 2.5T engine in the second generation of Mazda’s CX-9 crossover SUVs.  It’s just one more reason to consider the midsize 2017 Mazda CX-9 as your crossover SUV of choice.

 

What’s remarkable about this engine is an engineering design known as Dynamic Pressure Turbo.  This engineering concept allows the turbocharger to smoothly deliver up to 310 pounds of torque.  That translates to more power which helps to improve acceleration.

 

Everyone from automobile manufacturers to consumers want more power in their vehicles, but without adding to fuel cost.  Mazda has that angle covered, as this marks the first gasoline SKYACTIV engine that Mazda has turbocharged.  This lightweight turbocharged engine improves fuel efficiency in the Mazda CX-9 by an impressive 25%.  This was achieved by re-engineering the exhaust gas recirculation system so that is a cooled system. This helps to eliminate early fuel enrichment which is prevalent in most other automobile engines.  Huge win for Mazda’s engineering team!

The Mazda CX-9 Benefits From KODO Design Principles

By
Posted in Uncategorized

MAzda CX-9 1

Crossovers have been a large market for car buyers and producers in the past five years. These compact car and SUV fusions have the nice, curved visual appeal of compact and sports cars while also being able to fit many passengers. The Mazda CX-9 is the embodiment of the ideal crossover, especially with its luxurious three row seating and use of the KODO design philosophy.

 

The KODO design philosophy is the foundation for all of Mazda’s sporty and stylish cars. KODO represents the soul of motion, and every car based on this principle should feel inspiring and enjoyable to drive. Mazda has condensed the KODO philosophy into a short phrase: dynamic poise enhanced by elegant detail. All Mazda vehicles should make you feel the strength and raw power of the motor as the vehicle glides down a highway or nimbly navigates tight corners. This is combined with a minute attention to the details, with each line and edge accenting the design perfectly.

 

The KODO values are found in all Mazda cars, but the CX-9 Turbo Signature take it to a different level. The CX-9 is just perfect width to make every passenger seat comfortable and spacious, while avoiding being too bulky to make it unwieldy. The 2.5-liter turbo four engine lets the car to easily glide down the road, and dense sound insulation keeps the ride inside quiet even on the loudest highways. The CX-9 is outfitted with safety features as well, including Smart City Brake Support and Blind Spot Monitoring to ensure safe lane shifts.

 

To enjoy the time tested KODO method, or see our current inventory, come down to Cardinale Mazda for an exhilarating test drive.
