Next-Gen Mazda Miata Receives Skyactiv-X

At the beginning of this year (2021), Mazda announced the Mazda Miata would receive a little electrification for the upcoming generation. But give something or someone twenty-four hours, and alterations become inevitable. After all, change is the constant strive for the absolute best. Thus, nearing the beginning of 2022, Miata’s powertrain development steers in the direction towards immanence. Anticipation for the distinctive Mazda Miata builds sometime around 2025, and the roadster will premiere with the Skyactiv-X engine with a hint of the mild-hybrid setup.  

Skyactiv-X initially premiered for the European market in 2019 with the release of the Mazda3 and the CX-30. After that, however, broken promises assured that Skyactiv would make its way across the pond to the US. Unfortunately, the delay of arrival for the Skyactiv engine was no fault of Mazda because postponement was merely the onset of COVID-19. Skyactiv-X supplies spark-controlled compression ignition, an intricate piece of technology that enhances any Mazda vehicle’s production and productivity.   

Even though time has progressed, Mazda certified the Skyactiv-X engine for the States. The next Mazda Miata will continue its journey with a four-cylinder engine. But the four-cylinder engine receives some extra caboose with a small supercharger to squeeze air into the cylinders whenever the engine utilizes spark-controlled ignition. 

Mazda pledged not too long ago to electrify its entire lineup by 2030. However, the Miata may be the guinea pig before the cavalry arrives. The Miata will presumably premiere the belt-driven mild-hybrid system found on the recent variations of the Skyactiv-X throughout Europe.  

The 2.0-liter four-cylinder Skyactiv-X generates 30 percent more torque than the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G underneath the hood of the current Mazda Miatas. Skyactiv-X also provided astounding results in fuel efficiency figures throughout the European test cycle. All of which translates to exceptionally well for the mild-hybrid system. The manual transmission is presumed to remain an option, with many Mazda enthusiasts looking forward to the oncoming years.
