Mazda's Secret New Engine Technology - SkyactivX | The New Car Show

Mazda invited us out to a press day at their headquarters to show us their new engine technology. Could this be the new Mazda rotary engine? We didn't know!

Turns out it was their new Skyactiv technology --specifically SkyactivX. While we were a little bummed it wasn't the rotary, our dismay was alleviated as we started to learn all about this impressive technology. This [largely] SPARKLESS engine relies on insanely high compression in coordination with a slew of other engineering marvels to maintain a stable gasoline ignition. Zoom zoom muchacho.

Haha, you’re a master James!! This was great. Since, at 4:27, you said you think that most is correct (which it is) I thought I’d help ya out. It actually never runs in HCCI (homogeneous charge) mode, as it always uses a spark. Sometimes it’s just spark ignition, sometimes SPCCI. But the important thing is that they always use a spark to so that they can control exactly when combustion occurs. Kaboom. Kapow! Cancun. Knowledge. 👌👌

Mazda is really underrated car company

[alikaostermiller]

ok hear me out, Mazda should make a turbocharged HCCI rotary hybrid diesel​ engine.

I love Mazda’s approach. “There is no replacement for displacement”.

"Zooz-zoom muchacho" stickers please

Shoutout to Mazda man. They always are doing something different. Rotarys and slyactiv are sick. Been driving a Mazda 3 for a while and It gets the job done. Wish they would bring back Mazda speed tho lol

Imagine a 100mpg Miata backroads all day long.

SkyactivX is basically maximum efficiency. I love how they took the hard route with making car efficiency instead of just shoving hybrids and CVTs and crap like that to consumers. Maybe then they'll make an efficient magic triangle.

Skyactiv Rotary. Make it happen Mazda!

The world does IC, Mazda's like "we gonna do rotary !".
The world does electric, Mazda's like "we gonna do IC !"

[Anthonyvo]

The “magic triangle” rotary comment made me howl! 😂😂

[CEDRICnissan]

Mazda specialised in weird engineering, before it was rotary now this

[SlowBoiGang]

Diesel emissions are making the frogs gay

[jgkltrk]

How to make advertisements fun to watch

[alfiopanebianco]

Thank god it’s not another electric

Mazda’s keeping it real

[speedster]

I salute Mazda for not doing what the Germans do by slapping a turbo to a smaller engine and calling it "efficient".

[JaydenHW]

*Nah dude, Science - Engineering Explained*

[TotoGeenen]

I hope this will make a mazda a shit ton on money






To spend on rotary development

Loved the Chris Farley SNL throwback...."I dont wipe properly"

Daddy dropped us some knowledge ❤!!Your son is evolving after he come with you and left Jessica!!
