dedicated to you, the driver

performance and efficiency without compromise

Our engineers know that fuel efficiency is as important as performance. They devised a groundbreaking way to develop our engines, so that you can sit back and focus on the pure fun of driving. Every element of the car has been reimagined to improve efficiency and maximise dynamics. We call this Skyactiv Technology.

skyactiv vehicle architecture

There is a similarity between human bodies and cars: Both require strong and agile core together with refined and functioning interior.
