Revolutionary technology to bring big economy and performance gains, but Mazda’s next-gen SKYACTIV architectures promises much more.
Next year’s fourth-generation Mazda3 will introduce revolutionary combustion engine technology that promises significant performance and economy gains – at the same time.

Mazda’s bravery regularly surprises me. In terms of global automotive scale, it’s a minnow – and yet that little fish is never shy of taking a punt. Think rotary. Think the re-invention of the small roadster. Think the Miller-cycle engine.
