2018 Mazda3

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.

Mazda SkyActive Technology

When you select a brand-new Mazda model like the Mazda CX-5 or the latest Mazda3, be prepared to take your performance to the next level. This is all thanks to Mazda’s exclusive SKYACTIV™® TECHNOLOGY.

Engines

With two distinct engines on offer as part of the SKYACTIV™® lineup, you’ll certainly find your ideal blend of output and efficiency. The SKYACTIV™®-G gasoline engine, for example, boosts fuel economy figures and torque by around 15% as compared with comparable engines on the market. Meanwhile, the SKYACTIV™®-D diesel engine boasts a 20% improvement in fuel economy as compared with other conventional diesel engines, all while maintaining clean emissions. One thing is for sure – you can’t go wrong with either machine.

Transmissions

Under the SKYACTIV™® platform, you’ll have your choice of either a manual or automatic transmission, either of which significantly enhance the performance of your new Mazda6 or other Mazda model. The SKYACTIV™®-DRIVE automatic transmission, for example, promises smooth shifts and superior fuel efficiency, even at lower speeds. Plus, it offers more of a direct feel that typically is associated with manual transmissions. If pure manual is more your style, though, Mazda’s SKYACTIV™® TECHNOLOGY still has you covered. The SKYACTIV™®-MT manual transmission that allows you to feel as though you’re behind the wheel of a sports car, yet it also guarantees ultimate control

Framework

Perhaps the most important aspect of how a vehicle performs depends on how it was constructed. For Mazda, that has meant incorporating SKYACTIV™® TECHNOLOGY in the body and chassis of each model it creates. SKYACTIV™®-BODY, for instance, proves both rigid and light. In fact, its weight has been reduced by 8%, while rigidity improved by 30%, which helps it to move nimbly and also stand strong in the event of a collision. The SKYACTIV™®-CHASSIS works with the body thanks to an electric power steering system for easy handling.
