Regardless of which type of vehicle you are interested in, chances are fuel economy is an important criterion for you. With a host of innovations including advanced mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains as well as unique technologies such as SKYACTIV and cylinder deactivation, 2024 and 2025 Mazda vehicles are among the most efficient in their respective segments. Here, we take a look at the most fuel-efficient Mazda vehicles offered in the 2024 and 2025 lineups, but first we showcase some of Mazda’s most impressive features that have a direct impact on overall fuel consumption.
Mazda’s SKYACTIV technology encompasses a comprehensive range of enhancements aimed at boosting fuel efficiency and performance. From state-of-the-art engine designs to lightweight yet strong chassis and transmissions, SKYACTIV optimizes every aspect of the vehicle for superior driving dynamics and lower emissions. This holistic approach ensures that every drive is both enjoyable and efficient.
Mazda’s cylinder deactivation technology is designed to enhance fuel efficiency by temporarily shutting down some of the engine’s cylinders when full power is not needed. For instance, during steady cruising or light-load driving, the system deactivates two of the four cylinders in a four-cylinder engine. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions without compromising performance when full engine power is required. The transition between active and deactivated cylinders is seamless, ensuring a smooth driving experience while maximizing efficiency.
Mazda’s PHEV systems blend the benefits of electric and traditional power. These vehicles can operate on electric power alone for shorter trips, reducing emissions and fuel use. For longer journeys, the gasoline engine provides additional range and performance, ensuring flexibility and efficiency without sacrificing driving pleasure. The battery, a 17.8 kWh unit, powers the electric motor and is key to the vehicle’s impressive efficiency.
Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles (MHEVs) by Mazda integrate a small electric motor to assist the gasoline engine. This system enhances fuel efficiency by providing extra power during acceleration and recovering energy during braking. The result is a seamless driving experience with improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. The 3.3 L inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engine of the CX-90 Mild Hybrid Inline 6 Turbo, for example, features an integrated 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This system captures kinetic energy during coasting or braking, which is then used to assist the engine, contributing to the vehicle’s exceptional efficiency.
Mazda’s electric vehicles are designed for zero-emission driving without compromising performance. Advanced battery technology and electric motors deliver smooth, powerful acceleration and a quiet ride. Mazda’s EVs are engineered to provide sufficient range for daily commuting while promoting a greener environment.
Here’s a detailed look at the most fuel-efficient Mazda models for 2024 and 2025:
The MX-30 marks Mazda’s foray into the electric vehicle market. Equipped with a 35.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, it powers an electric motor generating 143 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque. The electric G-Vectoring Control Plus (e-GVC Plus) ensures a smooth driving experience. On a full charge, the MX-30 offers a range of up to 161 km.
Combining electric efficiency with traditional power, the CX-90 PHEV provides an electric-only range of 42 km. When both power sources work together, it achieves an impressive fuel economy of 4.2 litres per 100 km, making it a standout in its class.
The versatile Mazda3 offers various configurations, including AWD options. Base models feature a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine delivering 191 hp while maintaining a fuel economy of 6.3 litres per 100 km on the highway, balancing power with efficiency. Moreover, the Mazda3 offers cylinder deactivation, a rare feature in the compact segment.
This iconic roadster is renowned for its exhilarating driving experience. Its 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine produces 181 hp and maintains a fuel consumption rate of 8.1 l/100 km with the 6-speed manual, and 8.0 l/100 km with the 6-speed automatic.
Compact and dynamic, the CX-30 offers a fuel economy of just over 8.0 litres per 100 km with the base 2.5-litre powertrain. This is certainly impressive given this engine’s 191-horsepower output and the CX-30’s standard i-ACTIV all-wheel drive system.
With options for a 2.5-litre engine or a more powerful 2.5-litre turbo engine, the CX-50 merges versatility with style. With the entry-level engine, however, the CX-50 isn’t just quick, it is also very efficient. It delivers an impressive fuel economy of 7.9 litres per 100 km Thanks to standard cylinder deactivation.
Featuring a 2.5-litre engine, the CX-5 offers robust power and nearly 1,700 litres of maximum cargo space. It is offered with three powertrain options, but buyers who opt for the 2.5-litre four-cylinder with cylinder deactivation will enjoy an average fuel economy rating of just 8.5 litres per 100 km even with i-ACTIV all-wheel drive.
The CX-90, with its 280 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, incorporates a 48-volt mild hybrid system. This combination provides a powerful performance and an average fuel consumption of 8.4 litres per 100 km, showcasing Mazda’s commitment to efficiency.
New for 2025, the CX-70 PHEV shares powertrain options with the CX-90 PHEV, combining electric and gasoline power for flexibility and efficiency. Equipped with a 17.8 kWh battery, the CX-70 PHEV offers an electric-only range of 42 km, making it a compelling choice for eco-conscious drivers.
Also new for 2025, the CX-70 MHEV features a mild-hybrid system similar to that of the CX-90. The 3.3 L inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engine is complemented by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that captures and utilizes kinetic energy during driving. This system enhances fuel efficiency and provides a smooth driving experience, maintaining the balance of power and economy.
