Mazda is expanding the engine lineup for the Mazda3 and CX-30 in Europe with a new Skyactiv-G 2.0 150 M Hybrid powertrain.
This is a more powerful variant of the existing Skyactiv-G 2.0 122 M Hybrid engine. The new 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline unit assisted by a mild-hybrid system delivers 150 PS (148 HP). The power increase is achieved by an adapted engine control unit, which also ensures that a higher engine torque is available from 4,000 rpm. Mazda didn’t reveal the peak torque figure, though.
The new 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G petrol engine comes with cylinder deactivation as standard to reduce fuel consumption. Depending on the driving situation, the engine automatically switches between two-cylinder and four-cylinder operation. As with the other powertrains available for the Mazda3 and CX-30, the transmission choices for the new engine include a standard six-speed Skyactiv-MT manual transmission or an optional six-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic.
The rest of the engine lineup remains unchanged for both the Mazda3 and CX-30. The base Skyactiv-G 2.0 122 M Hybrid petrol engine delivers 122 PS (120 HP) at 6,000 rpm and 213 Nm (157 lb-ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm. https://www.carscoops.com/2020/01/mazda3-and-cx-30-gain-150-ps-2-0l-petrol-engine-in-europe/
