Enhanced Fuel Efficiency

Mazda MX-5 / Overview / Enhanced Fuel Efficiency

Despite an increase in performance feel for the top grade powertrain, and the same power and torque output as before, the Mazda MX-5 facelift MZR-2.0-litre engine with manual transmission uses less fuel and produces fewer CO2 emissions than before. When combined with the five-speed gearbox, it uses 7.4 litres of fuel (4 percent less than before) and emits 177 g/km of CO2. The MZR 2.0-litre with six-speed manual transmission consumes 7.6 litres of fuel per 100 km (7 percent less than before) and produces 181 g/km of CO2.
