New Turbocharged Engine Elevates the 2021 Mazda3

Fans of the Japanese automotive manufacturer have been waiting for the Mazda3 sedan and hatchback models to get a turbo engine — and finally, that wait is over.

But Mazda hasn’t equipped the sedan with just any turbocharged engine. Outfitting the 2021 Mazda3 is a custom-made SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine.

Distribution of power and force from the turbocharged engine helps position the sedan ahead of the competition.

Its superior design makes a 2021 Mazda3 equipped with the turbo engine more fuel-efficient and fluid than others in its class by converting every drop of gasoline into energy to power the vehicle.

The turbo engine achieves an average fuel economy rate of 26 miles-per-gallon (mpg) in the Mazda3 hatchback and 27 mpg in the sedan.

Of the seven trim levels, two are available with the SKYACTIV®-G engine, the 2.5 Turbo, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus.

Able to hit high speeds in a matter of seconds without spending more time at the pump, a turbocharged Mazda3 is sure to be the envy of the road.

Revolutionary Compression Ratio

The SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine has a compression ratio of 14:1, an incredible ratio that exceeds the capabilities of most other turbo engines found under the hood of a sedan or hatchback.

The compression ratio of an engine represents the relationship between the cylinders’ volume and the internal combustion chamber within the engine at both the maximum and minimum values.

Any compression ratio between 10:1 to 12:1 is considered above-average for most turbo engines. The ideal or perfect compression ratio to aspire to is 15:1.

With an unprecedented compression ratio of 14:1, the 2021 Mazda3 turbo engine is not just impressive, it’s revolutionary.

The superior compression ratio means the engine can produce more power on less fuel — meaning less time at the pump for the consumer.

This compression ratio increases the torque — or force, of the engine by 15%. The combustion efficiency — or the rate and precision that it can burn fuel, is increased by 9%.

Improved torque results in an even and efficient distribution of force, allowing for a cleaner, smoother delivery of power from the engine to the wheels.

The increased torque elevates the overall driving experience of the 2021 Mazda3, creating a more fluid drive.

Drivers who want a vehicle that can move with grace at high speeds or on less-than-ideal road conditions — like snowy roads in the Capital Region, need to look no further than the newly turbocharged Mazda3.

Increased Fuel Efficiency

Adding to the 2021 Mazda3 turbo engine’s appeal is its exceptional fuel efficiency, achieved by how evenly and rapidly the engine can burn gasoline.

Fuel can also be injected directly into the vehicle’s combustion chamber, allowing it to combust with advanced precision.

On regular (87 octane) fuel, a turbocharged Mazda3 has an estimated fuel economy rate of 23 mpg in the city, 31 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined.

So, with a turbocharged Mazda3 model, drivers can spend more time on the road than at the pump.

Fast & Powerful

Those who choose a 2021 Mazda3 with a turbo engine can expect a fast ride.

Experts found that the 2.5 Mazda3 turbo trim level can sprint from zero to 60 miles-per-hour (mph) in under six seconds — a faster acceleration rate than anything achieved by others in its class.

Whether as a sedan or hatchback, trim levels outfitted with the turbocharged engine display a savviness and power on the road that clearly distinguishes the model from the other trim levels.

Running on standard fuel, the Mazda3 2.5 Turbo trim levels have a horsepower (hp) of 227 and 310 pounds-per-feet (lb-ft) of torque.

Performance enhances on premium (93 octane) fuel to 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. Wielding such power and force is no small feat, yet the turbo engine found under the hood of the 2021 Mazda3 can handle it all with ease.

Quiet & Comfortable Driving

Thanks to the fuel-sipping nature of the turbocharged engine, the sporty sedan is quieter than most.

The sound of an inefficient engine burning gasoline unevenly as the fuel it exhausts mixes with the air and ignites can sound like that of a gunshot. This disruptive noise is known as knocking.

Knocking usually occurs when a vehicle accelerates. But because the Mazda3 turbo engine can burn fuel with efficiency, it’s resistant to knocking.

Rather than yell, the new turbocharged engine purrs with power.
