[00:00:00]You've seen the Skyactiv badge in the back of Mazdas, but do you actually know what it means? It's not just one thing, it's three. First, it's the engine. Most cars squeeze air and fuel together at a 10:1 ratio. Skyactiv cranks that up to 13:1, which basically means you're getting more out of every drop of gas.

[00:00:16]Second, the body. It's built with stronger steel [music] so they can use less of it and still keep the car just as tough. That means the car ends up lighter and stiffer. Lighter means better gas mileage, stiffer [music] means better handling. Third is the transmission. In most automatics, there's a little slipping happening, [music] which is wasting power. Skyactiv fixes that, so when you hit the gas, you feel it right away. That's why the car feels so alive. So, that's Skyactiv technology, [music] a better engine, lighter body, a smarter transmission, all working together to give you better gas mileage and still a blast [music] to drive.
