I love Mazda, I test drove all their 2.0 engines lately - 2.0 SkyActiv G with 122HP, the 2.0 SkyActiv X with 180HP and the 2.0 Sky Activ G with 184HP on the MX5. The G's are great, but the X needs a lot more improvements.

I think the review failed.

It does what it's supposed to. A genuine 47mpg (UK) from an auto Mazda 3 and it feels as if it has all 184bhp. If you're used to turbos, as most people now are, it will feel different. My only small criticism is a light pinking noise at around 2300rm, which is apparently normal.

Exactly but if people actually learned to drive naturally aspirated engines and used that magic invention called gearbox in adequate RPMs it would pull exactly like you expect it to, it's a petrol/gasoline engine after all so use those RPMs when you need to accelerate quickly. Too many spoiled turbo diesel drivers these days that don't use gearbox because they don't need to but then dual mass flywheel goes kaput in no time. Don't get me started on rev matching... Simply put, these kind of vehicles are for people that want to actually drive and be present and in my opinion manual gearbox is a must.

@fwebe2871

3 жыл бұрын

132 kW are 132 kW. There is no difference made between charged and natural aspirated engines. What most People don't get is the difference between power and force. Power = Force * Velocity As long as you use the same power at the same speed, you get the same force. So if someone claimes the car to accelerate like a car with 66 kW and 110 Nm (like someone in the comment section did), it is because they don't make use of the full power the engine could deliver. Some people seem to have difficulties with using a gear box properly. If you consider the gearing ratio you'll see, that first gear reaches a topspeed of about 14 m/ s and second gear about 28 m/ s. If you want to accelerate from 14 m/ s to 28 m/ s and make full use of the power delivery, you should use second gear. Those people complaining about power delivery often are using 5. or 4. gear, rarely 3., thus beeing the problem themself. It is like only pushing the throttle pedal half way and complaining about the lack of power.

​@@fwebe2871 For the average Joe turbo will always seem much faster than supercharged or naturally aspirated engine with equal power simply because you get torque hence power much earlier in the revs with turbo. Tho truth is that equally powered turbo and naturally aspirated with the same gearbox will have the same top speed but turbo charged one will get there quicker, but if you had "ideal" gearbox (instant gear change and infinite or lots of gears) you would get same acceleration on both of them.

If your 2.2 engine was 2014 or newer Skyactive-G turbo diesel with 110KW / 150 PS I know it pulls really good with its 380 Nm. In the other hand, e-SkyactiveX has 186 PS and 240 Nm but both are 0 - 100 Km/h about 8s. Does the e-skyactiveX " feels" sluggish or like people say that X186 doesnt seem like it has all that " horses"?

Mazda 3 122HP MT, 8000km, 7.1l/100km 😊

The next best in class gets 40 MPG on the highway. 20 MPG is pretty much average for that size. SkyActiv-X works like a regular gas engine under acceleration, so you are not going to see improvements there. A 25% increase in cruising efficiency for NA over a turbo is no laughing matter.

I got a skyactiv x mazda 3 sedan two weeks ago. I drove it mostly in the city (Zagreb) and got to about 700km so far with avg consuption at 8.1 l/100km. I expected more for the fresh engine and a bit aggresive driving I was doing mostly outside of the city, and this was a nice surprise. About 20% of the driving was on the highway just to get the engine to feel higher revs on higher speeds. I'm not a stoplight racer and so far this car and engine has performed above expectations after I watched all the videos stating it doesn't seem as powerful as it says. At the highway (and in the city if you care about it and think about the revs) you can have any power you realistically need. When I was buying a car the competition was Škoda Octavia 1.5TSI, and it while it does have that turbo kick in the lower revs and extra practicality because of the 5th door (which isn't a big factor for me at this time), they couldn't match the Mazda 3 sedan's interior quality and driving security gadgets for the price (HUD, rear camera, etc.), not to mention the looks. Also, the big factor was the EU vs Japan style of car selling where you have to wait for the custom Škoda Octavia for 4 months (if they don't already have one that you like at the dealership, which they don't), while with Mazda you don't have to choose because it already has it all.

I basically have consumption of my Yaris with 99 hp, maybe few decilitres more. It is true, there is no turbo and there is no kick, but it is a nonsense to said that this car doesn't have power, because believe me it does. Thing is, what I think Mazda tried with this, that car is comfortable and joy to cruise, not to do drag races and it does it's job superbly. I had to respond on this, because also my first choice was Škoda Octavia 1.5 TSI. Practicality is on the side of Škoda and I didn't have opportunity to do a test drive, but I examined it from inside in detail. Škoda did great job with interior, but new 3 is in the league of it's own!

got mine 6 months ago, clocked about 9k so far. Coming from FR leon (2018) with 7speed dsg and a 1.5tsi, its a completely different experience. Eu cars are massive, sturdy, they always let you know where the center of mass is and help you understand how to use it to your advantage. Mazda on the other hand feels light, its not as easy to feel weight distribution while in motion but then again you dont actually need it - the car is very happy to oblige to drivers requests with not too sharp but precise response. Feels agile enough in higher revs, AT( torque converter) is no dsg but does seem a bit more refined at lower speeds. No false intakes, plastic covers, parts from other brands in it. Simply feels like a well rounded product. Feels civilized.

I have the 6 speed auto 2 litre mild hybrid. I am happy with the balance of power and it handles well also. A crazy amount of features

Ai condus varianta imbunatatita a motorului X, cea cu 186 CP si 240 Nm cuplu?

Just test drove one of these today and I have to agree - it doesn't feel like it has 180HP. It doesn't have a lot of torque considering I thought they might use the mild hybrid to boost the low end and the high end it is nothing special either. I've driven the 120HP G engine and preferred it.

This dude should learn to drive before reviewing cars on the internet...

I just got myself a Mazda CX30 G25. I think that's the engine to go with for now. I would have loved to try a skyactiv X version but the 4k premium in Australia that gives you this engine just isn't worth it in any way whatsoever. The skyactiv G engines have proved themselves to quite reliable already as well, whereas you never know with the X engine, although I trust Mazda in this respect. Also, they only offer the mild hybrid tech with the X in Australia and I wonder if that is to make it seem like the engine really is more efficient than the G25, which is still only slightly less efficient.

Having owned my Mazda3 e-Skyactiv-X (MT) for 3 weeks now, I've had a chance to test the fuel consumption and the car is capable of returning 5l/100km (or 55mpg - imperial) on the highway driven at the speed limit (i.e. 100-120 km/h). Obviously, it is not so good in town (6.5-7.5l/100km, or 35-40mpg), and in this situation a self-charging hybrid still makes more sense. Nonetheless, that Mazda have developed a 2.0 petrol engine capable of scrambling this far up the slope of diesel economy is astonishing.

Worth pointing out that Mazda offers this alongside the SkyActiv-G 2.5 in some markets, which is stupid. The 2.5 is cheaper, has the same power output, and is smoother due to balance shafts. In the UK, the two engines aren't available on the same models, so you have to choose the X version unless you're happy with a 120bhp SkyActiv-G 2.0. And there's more of a focus on fuel economy and emissions here.

I have the exact same car. consumes 10-11 L/100.... a bit high and as you said doesn't feel like 180hp. Anyhow, still a lovely car

ALSO call back due to fuel tank venting fixed with a computer update to keep the vent open all the time . So tell me again how great Skyactiv is…

I bought one of these SkyactivX models after owning a 2015 Mazda 3, but the new one was not the AWD model. I was disappointed from the off, it's terrible. The one I test drove seemed ok, but that was a couple of miles in urban conditions. I paid a £1,500 premium for this engine but it was gutless and I had to use a lower gear than I expected, so where I would normally use second in any other car I've driven, and that is dozens, I had to drop down to first. It's been back to Mazda 4 times (two different dealers). The first one didn't even acknowledge that there was a problem, so I took it elswhere. They have gradually improved it to where it is just about passable, but NEVER 180 BHP. I still have a massive 'hiccup' and a 'holding back' feel at times when accelerating, and it doesn't feel nice to drive. At the end of my patience I complained to Mazda Consumer Relations who basically said that there was nothing wrong with the car, end of. So it's going, with only 9,000 miles on the clock. Lovely car otherwise, but a massive FAIL on the engine. Bye, bye Mazda, I'm going electric, and even that won't be a Mazda.

​@sen5908 Get skyactive. G122 and tune it with software and you'll get easily 165hp don't even bother with other engines

It produces 185hp at 6.8l/100klms. Find another engine that do that and then make up your mind again about the engine or your point of view

well, the 165G makes 165 and consumes 6.5l/100 in reality. It might be a bit weaker but it revs up quicker. The point was, the X didn't bring that much in reality what we expected with high-tech

To be fair: the launch was absolutely horrible, so no comparison to do.

I have this car It’s a wonderful car the failure is you

I have test driven this car and had the same impression. It's lame and not terribly efficient. I walked off disappointed.

The reveiw is a fail, the skyactive X is still in dev. I don't beleive it's in mass production yet. I didnt see anything about the different drive modes that skyactive X goes thru in different conditions.

You left 1500RPM on the table...

If Mazda and Toyota share their skyactiv-x and hybrid synergy drive technology, I guarantee they will hands down takeover the auto industry

I am a firm believer

Everyone speaks about speed and its a bad car and blah blah , what if u dont wanna speef and u always drive around 60-80 and sometimes when u get out of town and get like 100 -110 max , i will assume u will see not difference ?!

Keep one eye for a nighttime job!..... just in case.

Unless you own the car for 1-2 weeks you cannot speak about consumption. My fuel economy is 5.0lt/100kmh on 3rh long trips, and 6.9lt/100kmh in the city, you obviously ignore the car's systems on swapping gears and you start stop like Red light racer to get 12lt/100kmh in the city!?? Telling people to go for an older engine defeats the purpose of what Mazda is doing and saying and if I had to go with your word or the actual mechanics that made it? Well I would go with their info. Also, after 2.000kmh the engine changes. Any Mazda 3 owner knows what I am talking about. As for the power. Yes you don't get to feel the torque when you swap gears on 4000 rpm.... It's a NA engine. Also, saying you are dissapointent because it is not as "powerful" as you thought it would be? Good, it is not a performance car. You can get the i30N with the same money give up on all smart systems and fuel economy and go lile a madman with crackling exhaust noises as you rev it to max , but then you would be dissapointent of the cheap plastic in the interior and the clanky info screen. Not all cars are built for all purposes. The Mazda 3 aims to enter the more premium category and so far it does. I bet that gen 5 of the Mazda 3 will see an increase on price, now they ar etesting the grounds and the market and what they offer in terms of quality, reliability and smart systems, surpases that of it's competitors, VW Golf, Skoda Octavia, Mercedes A, BMW1 etc. With 29.000 euros it simply is the most offering.

so 4 months ago i did right decision about engine selection, went thru many reviews and plus feedback from seller guy who said no point go for X so i bought G🙂

Rotwolf For reasons that don’t concern the wngine

You behave like a poor guy who is only interested in less consumption! How can you expect both more power and less fuel consumption??? Even having the same fuel consumption as the 122HP engine is really good for a 180HP engine!

It gives niether. It's as slow as the 150hp 2.0 skyactiv-G while using the same amount of fuel but it costs much more. It cannot touch 1.5 TSI in both performance and fuel consumption.

Very detailed and informative. My only suggestion to you is to SMILE MORE!! Pretend that you truly enjoy reviewing automobiles. It will keep us in tuned with you.

you have no idea what you are talking about.

You are to small and bad driver to speak about mazda skyactive x engine. Please just drive the Japanese experience.

Your video is a failure not the car

Mazda ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Another ev guy trying to put some nonsense arguments over a inovated car engine...
