Features that improve fuel economy in pre-owned Mazda models

November 14 2022,

With the price of gas continuing to increase and showing no signs of stopping, many consumers are turning their attention to the fuel consumption of their vehicle, and many are looking to replace their current model with a vehicle that needs less fuel to operate. Buyers looking for a pre-owned vehicle are just as concerned with efficiency. That’s where Mazda stands out with an impressive lineup of technologies that provide exceptional fuel economy in every pre-owned Mazda model. Here are some of the features that improve efficiency in used Mazda models.

Cylinder deactivation

Many Mazda pre-owned vehicles from the last two years will offer cylinder deactivation, especially used Mazda CX-5 models. This technology vastly improves fuel economy by “turning off” two cylinders when the full performance of the engine is not needed, thus reducing fuel consumption.

Impressive i-ACTIV AWD

If you are concerned about the fuel consumption of your next pre-owned SUV, check out the Mazda i-ACTIV system.

The Mazda i-ACTIV all-wheel drive system isn't just remarkably impressive on snowy or wet roads, the technology is designed to minimize fuel consumption as well as it ensures the highest level of stability. The i-ACTIV all-wheel drive system is designed to function only when needed, meaning that when you are driving along and the road is clear, your Mazda SUV ultimately operates like a front-wheel drive vehicle. In simple terms, when you don't need i-ACTIV, you don't have to worry about its impact on the fuel consumption of your vehicle.

Mazda SKYACTIV

SKYACTIV is a group of technologies developed by Mazda to ensure that your vehicle is as efficient as possible without sacrificing performance. In addition to a higher compression ratio, a less restrictive exhaust system, and lighter components that combine together to reduce fuel consumption. Just about every pre-owned Mazda on the market has SKYACTIV technology.
