Mazda is already planning for innovation in the United States for the year 2016. This technology is called the i-Stop and will help fuel efficiency in Mazda vehicles. Already winning awards in Japan, the i-Stop is Mazda's new start-stop system. This means that when your 2016 Mazda comes to a stop, such as when you have your foot on the break at a red light, the i-Stop technology will stop your Mazda's pistons from moving. Then when you lift your foot off the break and step on the accelerator, for instance when the stop light turns green, the engine restarts in a split second. Thus the driver never really knows it is happening but yet conserves some fuel and holds off going to the gas station for a little more time.
Here at Wellesley Mazda we think that both the i-Stop and Mazda's SKYACTIV technology are amazing and we can't wait to see what Mazda comes up with next!
What do you think of the i-Stop? Let us know in the comments section!
