Mazda has built a reputation for doing things differently. Rather than committing to just one type of powertrain, Mazda offers a multi-solution approach - giving you the freedom to choose the engine that best suits your lifestyle.
From advanced petrol and diesel engines to hybrid and fully electric technology, here’s a clear breakdown of every Mazda engine type available today.
Mazda is steadily moving towards a more sustainable future. By 2030, up to 40% of Mazda vehicles are expected to be fully electric, with the remaining models using highly efficient electrified combustion engines.
But this isn’t just future planning - you can already experience these technologies across the Mazda range today.
The e-Skyactiv X engine blends the best of both worlds.
It combines:
This innovative system delivers strong performance while maintaining excellent fuel economy, making it ideal for drivers who want a balance of power and efficiency.
The e-Skyactiv G engine is Mazda’s refined petrol option, designed for reliability and efficiency.
Key benefits include:
Some versions also feature cylinder deactivation, helping save fuel when full power isn’t needed.
If you regularly drive long distances, the e-Skyactiv D diesel engine is built for you.
Highlights:
Available in larger models, this engine is perfect for motorway driving, towing, and high-mileage users.
Mazda offers multiple levels of hybrid technology, depending on how much electrification you want.
The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system allows you to drive using electric power for shorter journeys, while still having a petrol engine for longer trips.
Benefits:
Perfect if you want to experience electric driving without fully committing.
Mazda’s full hybrid system (as seen in the Mazda2 Hybrid) automatically switches between petrol and electric power.
Ideal for city drivers looking for lower emissions and improved fuel economy.
