Mazda has announced that the company employ its new technologies SkyActiv in the 2012 Mazda3. The vehicle is expected at upcoming Toronto Canadian International Auto Show debut and it will boast the Japanese automaker's much-gabbed on SkyActiv-G gasoline four-cylinder engine and SkyActive-Drive transmission.
Mazda says that should the two new pieces of hardware contribute to the Mazda3 deliver more torque at mid-range speeds, and that the trick should be good enough to increase fuel economy on the road. As you may recall, the G-SkyActiv engine direct injection design with a friction block is to minimize mechanical drag.
This is the first time that either the new engine and transmission ever offered in a production vehicle, and the company's designers have thrown in a few exterior tweaks to the occasion. Buyers can be easily modified to front and rear bumpers and new 16 - and 17-inch wheels. The more efficient Mazda3 is expected to arrive in dealerships by the end of this year. Hit the jump for the full press release.
