Mazda SKYACTIV technology is a range of design innovations that increase performance and fuel efficiency while also protecting you and your passengers in the event of an accident. We're going to dive in and take a closer look at how some of this technology works. Mazda SKYACTIV Technology: Improving Performance, Efficiency, and Safety SKYACTIV-X Engine Gasoline engines use a mixture of fuel and air, which is compressed and then ignited to produce combustion. Diesel engines also mix fuel with air, but since diesel is denser than gasoline, they require less fuel in the combustion mixture, which makes them more fuel-efficient. Their mixture, however, produces more dangerous chemicals and byproducts, which need to be converted to reduce pollution. SKYACTIV-X engines use an innovative technology called Spark Controlled Compression Ignition (SCCI). They're gasoline-powered but use less fuel in their fuel-air mixture. The mixture is more tightly compressed than in a regular engine, and only part of the mixture is ignited by the spark plugs, generating greater heat, which ignites the remainder of the fuel-air mixture. This allows them to deliver increased performance and save you money at the pump. SKYACTIV Construction Vehicle design has always been a trade-off between weight and fuel economy to produce a durable body that can protect you and your passengers from harm. The more reinforcement added to increase protection, the greater the weight and the more fuel used to move this weight. SKYACTIV vehicle construction eliminates this trade-off by increasing both protection and fuel efficiency. The key to this is the use of high- and ultra-high-tensile steel in the body construction and reinforcement. This steel is extremely strong, which means that less of it needs to be used to provide reinforcement, and this greatly reduces vehicle weight. In addition, Mazda bodies have been precisely shaped to dissipate the energy produced by a collision and channel it away from the cabin to protect you. SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS This innovative technology improves vehicle performance and control by adjusting its balance as you drive. It uses a system called G-Vectoring Control (GVC) to adjust engine torque as needed. The system relies on a network of sensors that continually relay information to the computer. When you begin to corner, for example, sensors identify this movement and increase torque on the outer wheels to supply better traction, while shifting vehicle weight forward by reducing speed. As you exit a curve, in contrast, engine power increases, and this shifts the weight away from the front to allow smoother acceleration. At the same time, the torque is adjusted again to improve stability.

There are many benefits of owning a Mazda vehicle: they're luxurious, capable, comfortable, and safe. One of the convenient tech features you'll enjoy with the purchase or lease of any newer model is Mazda Connected Services, a set of features you can access via the MyMazda app on your smartphone. Exploring Mazda Connected Services: Stay Connected with Your Vehicle Remote Engine Start With the remote engine start feature, you'll never have to go through the discomfort of sitting in a car that's too hot or too cold while you wait for the temperature to adjust again. Simply start the engine from the comfort of your home or office with the MyMazda app, and the cabin will return to the last temperature you set before you get inside. If an unexpected delay sets back your departure, you can also remotely stop your engine. Remote Lock and Unlock You'll also never have to worry about whether you remembered to lock your vehicle again, thanks to the remote lock and unlock feature, which lets you secure your Mazda remotely. If you've already left your vehicle and your child or anyone else realizes they've forgotten something inside, you can also use the app to remotely unlock the doors without handing off the key fob. This feature is also helpful if you need someone to drop something off inside your vehicle. Vehicle Finder As long as you have the MyMazda app installed on your phone, there's no need to panic if you forget to write down the location of your vehicle in a large parking lot or garage. The app pins the location of your parked vehicle and shows you the exact spot on a map, and it can also activate the hazard lights and horn to help you find it more easily. Vehicle Health and Status If you struggle to remember when different components of your vehicle need to be checked or serviced, the MyMazda app can also help with that by notifying you when it's time to service your vehicle. You can also use the app to find out when you should be checking your tire pressure, oil, or lights, and check your fuel status and more directly from your phone. In-Vehicle Wi-Fi In-vehicle Wi-Fi capability helps you stay connected on the road using either Verizon or AT&T wireless data, depending on your model, and can support up to five devices at once. When you buy or lease certain 2019 or newer Mazda models, you'll get a free trial of Connected Services, so you can try out all these helpful features before committing to a subscription.

When applying for car financing, there are typically four options when it comes to lenders: a bank, a credit union, an online lender, or your Mazda dealership. The last is the best option for many people, especially if you have a low credit score, or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, excellent credit. There are other benefits to getting a loan from the dealership, too. 1. Online Application Not all banks, credit unions, and online lenders offer preapproval, but we do. You can navigate to our website, hover over the finance tab, scroll down to "Finance Application," and apply for a loan online. This is a quick and easy way to start the process without having to venture out and search for lenders. 2. No Shopping Around When you apply for a loan at your local dealer, you don't have to shop around. We'll send your application to numerous lenders, so you can get different offers without having to fill out lots of paperwork and online applications. 3. Loans for People with Poor Credit We understand that not everybody has the best credit. Dealers regularly allow people with low credit scores to qualify for loans, even if those people fail to qualify with all other outside lenders. 4. Incentives for People with Great Credit Sometimes dealerships run special promotions on specific vehicles. These promotions allow qualified buyers to secure financing with little to no interest. People with great credit scores may benefit from these promotions. 5. Very Few Limits When you apply for financing at the dealership, the only thing that limits you is your budget. When applying through other lenders, there are sometimes more limits. For instance, banks sometimes require you to buy a car from a dealership within the bank's network. This can limit your options when you're shopping for a car, especially if you've already decided what car you want; there's no guarantee one of those dealers will have that car in stock. 6. Help Is Readily Available If you have any trouble navigating the car-buying process, or if you have any questions when you're applying for financing, then there's always somebody to help at the dealership. When applying for loans elsewhere, it's not quite as easy to get help, especially if you have a question that concerns the eligibility requirements when applying for a loan to buy a used car. 7. One-Stop-Shopping At the dealer, you can sell your old car, buy a new car, and get financing all in one trip. This saves time and effort, leading to a more relaxed and streamlined experience. If you're looking for financing, then head to our website and fill out our credit application. Once you're approved, come to Bommarito Mazda South County in St. Louis, MO to get your new car.
