Sustainable

Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030: What is it?

What is Sustainable Zoom-Zoom? Mazda recently announced their new long-term vision for technology development. It's "Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030". It looks ahead to the year 2030. Part of this new technology are plans to introduce a next-generation engine called SKYACTIV™-X in 2019. This new engine will be the world's first commercial gasoline engine that uses compression ignition. The original Sustainable Zoom-Zoom vision was announced back in 2007. Since then, Mazda has striven to offer environmental and safety performance as well as spectacular driving pleasure. This new vision will take a longer-term view. It sets out how Mazda will use driving pleasure to help solve issues facing people, the earth and society. Mazda know its mission is to bring about a beautiful earth and enrich people's lives. They also want to help improve society. Mazda will always continue to develop ways to help inspire people through the value found in cars. SKYACTIV™-X SKYACTIV™-X will be the world's first commercial gasoline engine to use compression ignition. This means the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously when its compressed by the piston. The Spark Controlled Compression Ignition overcomes two issues that impeded the commercialization of a compression ignition gasoline engine. It maximizes the zone in which compression is possible. It also achieves a seamless transition between compression and ignition and spark ignition. This new engine will achieve outstanding environmental performance, power and acceleration performance. The Future Mazda certainly hopes to create a future where people, the earth and society can live side-by-side with cars that can enrich people's lives. Mazda already knows it's already possible to have a strong emotional bond with a vehicle. They wouldn't work so hard to develop safety and performance technologies if they didn't believe it. Of course, driving should be celebrated. Beach Mazda believes the same thing! Let us show you how awesome Mazda vehicles are. By all means, give us a call or stop by today!

2018 Mazda3

2019 Mazda3 to Feature Sparkless Gas Engine

The future of powertrains is upon us. In fact, there’s a future Mazda to sport an innovative sparkless gas engine – the 2019 Mazda3. This model, slated for release in 2018, will feature the first-ever Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) technology, which has been in development for decades, but has yet to make its debut. Find out more about the first Mazda to sport this innovative sparkless gas engine. What is HCCI? Mazda is no stranger to developing innovative engines, as evidenced by its SKYACTIV™® technology, so its new HCCI technology should come as no surprise. HCCI engines function similarly to diesel engines. Engines with this new technology ignite without a spark thanks to compression, yet they run only on gasoline. Typically, gas engines rely on an ignition that sends electricity to spark plugs, which ignite fuel inside a combustion chamber. Efficiency is greatly enhanced and emissions reduced with HCCI engines, as a homogeneous mix of air and fuel burn at lower temperatures. In turn, this lessens the heat energy lost in typical gasoline engines. However, due to specific temperature needs for this technology to function properly, Mazda’s engine is said to incorporate sparkplug ignition capability, to be used as necessary when temperatures are too cold for the HCCI engine to start on its own. Mazda’s HCCI engine comes as part of the automaker’s next generation of SKYACTIV™ technology. Debut Details about Mazda’s HCCI technology will be revealed in the coming month at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Rumor has it that Mazda will then introduce a concept of the redesigned Mazda3 in October at the 2017 Tokyo Auto Show. The new system will first hit the market in Australia, and drivers in the United States will likely have to wait until 2019 to access it, if Mazda decides to offer HHCI in the U.S. at all. The Mazda3 is currently the only car scheduled for HCCI engine use.

Pleasing

Pleasing to Drive: There's a Mazda made for you!

Great Lengths Mazda goes to great lengths to design vehicles that are not only technologically advanced and safe. Mazda vehicles are also very pleasing to drive. That's right. They are pleasing vehicles to drive. Let that sink in for just a moment. Pleasing? Think about it... Have you ever thought about a vehicle just being pleasing to drive before? These design elements, known as sub-designs, are the little things some automakers take for granted. Mazda builds beauty into spaces that may very well go unseen by customers. Have you ever thought about how the seats fit your body just right? What about how the door handles feel to your fingertips? Maybe you chose your Mazda vehicle based on that that certain something you liked about it but just couldn't name. It wasn't some fluke or coincidence. No. Mazda builds their vehicles to make you happy. If you're not happy behind the wheel of a Mazda, something is seriously wrong! “Mazda’s designs are acclaimed, and every member of the engineering team was as eager as the designers to improve the appearance of functional parts and create the most beautiful overall design possible,” said Shinji Fujikawa, a member of the body CAD group. Designers made over 250 targeted improvements. For the new CX-5, this design process began in the initial stages of vehicle development. The team made small adjustments that resulted in a simpler surface and smoother lines. The result is what Mazda has described as "a variety of synergistic effects that create a cleaner look and an easier assembly process, all while reducing the pressure borne by the corners while driving." It's true that many of these improvement won't be noticed by drivers. But, the contribution to the appeal of Mazda vehicles will be. Drivers will feel it in the way their Mazda vehicle drives. They will notice it when they wash their vehicle or change a tire. Their vehicle will give them a certain something they may not be able to name, but they will know only Mazda has it.

Fifty Years

Fifty Years of Mazda History: Revolutionary Technology

Fifty Years It's been fifty years since a small Japanese automaker burst onto the scene with technology that everyone said could never happen. Mazda Motor Corporation, then called Toyo Kogyo Corporation, knew their new technology would be revolutionary. It had to be. Toyo Kogyo Corporation The Toyo Kogyo Corporation, a small precision tool company, needed a new technology that would reinvent not only the company, but automotive technology as a whole. That's when they licensed German rotary engine technology. Their aim was to share information with the German automakers and prove to the world that a rotary engine technology could be successful. That is when Mazda Motor Corporation was born. The automotive industry was in for a surprise. Rough Start It was a rough start for Mazda. In the first hour after arrival, the prototype rotary engine seized. Mazda knew though, this was not the end. It was only the beginning. It was going to be a long road ahead for them, but they never relented. At the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show, the Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S was introduced to the world. Three years later, on May 30, 1967, it went on sale. It was the world's very first production twin-rotor rotary engine car. The Cosmo was also Mazda's very first sports car. Only 1.176 production Cosmo Sports would be built. However, it's legacy would extend for years. Mazda never stopped improving their vehicles. Five Decades Later After fifty years, Mazda still remembers the early days, as they are still a very important part of what makes Mazda, well, Mazda. Even though they may not be employing the use of rotary engines, Mazda is still advancing technology that enables incomparable driver experiences. Beach Mazda understands this. We also strive to offer our Mazda owners exceptional experiences. Whether it's buying a new Mazda vehicle or in our service department, we want all of our customers to have no less than the best.

2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata

2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata Soft Top: On the way!

The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata is on it’s way to United States! In fact, by the time you read this, the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata may already be here at Beach Mazda! Best Thrills-Per-Dollar After the success of the 2016 model, and after winning World Car of of the Year and World Car Design of the Year Award, the MX-5 Miata still provides the best thrills-per-dollar ratio of any car out there today. For 2017, the only packaging changes include adding Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear-cross Traffic Alert as standard equipment for MX-5 Miata Club models. These features used to be exclusive to the Grand Touring model. Trim Levels There are three time levels: Sport, Grand Touring and Club. Rather than a “good-better-best” strategy, Mazda has developed three distinct “flavors” of MX-5 Miata to cater to different customers. The fourth generation MX-5 Miata returns for its second model year weighing about 150lbs less than its predecessor. Mazda achieved this feat through their greater use of ultra-high-tensile steel as well as aluminum construction.A testament to Mazda’s “Gram Strategy” and the innovation of SKYACTIV™ Technology, it is approximately 25-percent more efficient than its predecessor in EPA testing. Yet, it’s also quicker and more refined with technologies customers expect in today’s cars. SKYACTIV™-G All North American 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata models come equipped with a quick-revving, 2.0-liter SKYACTIV™-G engine that produces 155 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. It sends power to the rear wheels via a standard six-speed SKYACTIV™-MT six-speed manual—currently accounting for 60 percent of MX-5 sales—or an available six-speed automatic that comes standard with paddle shifters. The approximately 2,300-lbs. roadster embodies Mazda’s “Jinba Ittai” philosophy—translated as horse and rider as one. And, it sets the pace for all of Mazda’s current- and next-generation cars and crossovers. For 2017, it is joined by the MX-5 RF—retractable fastback—which went on sale in November. It imbues MX-5 with coupe-like style and sophistication. Want to take a test drive? Give Beach Mazda a call today. We’ll show you how to get behind the wheel and get one for yourself!

SKYACTIV™ TECHNOLOGY

SKYACTIV™-G 2.5T Wins 10-Best Award

Mazda recently announced that its turbocharged SKYACTIV™-G 2.5T engine has received a 2017 Wards 10 Best Engines award. This engine made its debut in the second-generation Mazda CX-9 midsize crossover SUV. Everyone knows that Mazda is at the forefront of  automotive technology. Developers are constantly trying to improve their vehicles. Mazda is always trying to advance safety technology and improve fuel efficiency. Generally speaking, they know how to make great vehicles that people absolutely love to drive! This has been proven by the many awards that Mazda vehicles have won over the years. Accordingly, the SKYACTIV™-G 2.5T engine winning this honor is no less impressive. Honored “We’re honored that WardsAuto has recognized our turbocharged SKYACTIV™-G 2.5T, as it serves as validation of our innovation that everything we do is focused on creating value and strong trust with our customers,” said Kelvin Hiraishi, director of engineering, MNAO. “This is who we are, and this principal is here to stay at Mazda.” The SKYACTIV™-G 2.5T offers many Mazda and industry-firsts. This includes its innovative Dynamic Pressure Turbo. The Dynamic Pressure Turbo uses a butterfly valve in the engine’s exhaust to create more pressure through a smaller chamber at low RPM. As a result, its turbocharger can spool up almost instantaneously. This provides up to 310 lb-ft of torque for ample flexibility and performance in any situation. It is also the first time Mazda has turbocharged a gasoline SKYACTIV™ engine. Real-World Performance In the CX-9, engineers focused on real-world performance. They didn't chase horsepower or torque figures. They knew those numbers would be unusable during normal driving. Engineers studied how SUV drivers would drive in the city. They opted for strong off-the-line acceleration in city traffic and linear, controllable operation. “There are lots of powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines out there, but Mazda’s 2.5-liter turbo stands out by using very elegant engineering to create especially smooth and abundant low-end torque for great everyday V-6-like performance in a sizable crossover SUV,” said WardsAuto Senior Content Director Drew Winter. By replacing a heavy V-6 engine with the SKYACTIV™-G 2.5T in the new-generation CX-9, Mazda was able to eliminate more than 250 lbs. By doing this, they improved EPA-estimated fuel-efficiency by 25% compared with its predecessor. Part of the motivation to rethink how to create the SKYACTIV™-G 2.5T came from the desire to improve real-world figures as well. Mazda developed a cooled exhaust gas re-circulation (EGR) system. Thus, the engine runs at a higher compression ratio. It does this without needing to dump fuel into its cylinders for cooling. That's what commonly known as enrichment. “Most turbocharged gasoline engines use enrichment very early on, leading to fuel economy that rarely meets the EPA-estimated numbers,” said Hiraishi. “While the SKYACTIV™-G 2.5T’s cooled EGR doesn’t improve the catalog fuel economy numbers, it does pay dividends for customers to achieve greater real-world efficiency. That’s what matters”. Beach Mazda Give Beach Mazda a call if you want to learn more about the SKYACTIV™-G 2.5T engine. We can also give you information about any Mazda vehicle on the lot. That's why we're the Mazda experts! At the present time, we've got a great selection of vehicles. But, they are going fast!

Specialty Equipment Marketing Association Show

Specialty Equipment Marketing Association Show & Mazda

Have you heard of the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association Show? Mazda put on quite the impressive show at the 2016 Specialty Equipment Marketing Association Show in Las Vegas, NV last month! SEMA If you’re not familiar with the SEMA Show, it provides designers the chance to showcase their imaginations when it comes to new auto concepts. For Mazda, this year was no different! They offered two concepts this year with the MX-5 Miata Speedster Evolution and the MX-5 RF Kuro. The MX-5 Speedster Evolution is lighter and what they describe as “ruthlessly efficient”. The MX-5 RF Kuro is based upon the 2017 MX-5 retractable fastback that’s going on sale in the U.S. early next year. MX-5 Speedster The MX-5 Speedster made its entrance to the automotive world at the 2015 SEMA show. It’s Mazda’s recognition and appreciation of the lightweight and no-frills driving experience of the sports cars of the 1950s. It weighs in at just over 2,000 pounds and its weight reduction thrust its performance and heightened the open-air experience for which the roadster is known. The MX-5 Evolution sharpens Mazda’s performance history. MX-5 RF Kuro Meanwhile, in Mazda’s new concept, the MX-5 RF Kuro, they have adopted many of the technologies that are seen in the MX-5 Global Cup vehicles. However, these are packaged in a more street-focused manner. The MX-5 RF Kuro shares it adjustable suspension with the MX-5 Global racecar. It also shares its Brembo dual-piston front brake calipers. Both vehicles were built using parts that Mazda autocross and racecar drivers can purchase via MazdaMotorsports.com for their MX-5s.
