Mazda has been busy preparing a new generation of advanced engines that will be used to boost fleet-wide fuel economy. These engines, the Sky-G (gas) and Sky-D (diesel), are still being tested, but results from these initial applications are already looking promising.
The first use of the new engine will debut on next year’s updated Mazda6 sedan, but engines are currently being tested on the compact Mazda3. With the 2.0-liter Sky-G engine, the Mazda3 reportedly is earning as much as 40 miles per gallon on the highway, which will easily help the Mazda3 take on the likes of the Ford Fiesta and Honda Fit on the MPG front.
Aside from the new Sky-G gasoline engine, the diesel unit is also being tested and has been confirmed for a “next-generation mid-size sedan,” most likely the Mazda6. With this unit, the sedan will likely achieve more than 40 mpg on the highway.
