Mazda's revolutionary SkyActiv-X engine in the Mazda3 has been a coveted powertrain that the rest of the world has yet to enjoy. In the United States, for example, the compression-ignition gasoline engine – or Spark Ignition Control Compression Ignition in Mazda-speak – is still unconfirmed at this point. So much so that the U.S. gets the powerful turbocharged Mazda3 first.

Then again, Mazda isn't done yet with its development of the SkyActiv-X engine. In fact, the new power plant gets an update in Japan, which, to nobody's surprise, involves mild electrification.

Now called the e-SkyActiv X engine, Mazda said that it optimized the combustion control, improved the supercharging, and added a 24V AC synchronous motor into the mix. This resulted in torque and output increase – from 177 horsepower 188 hp, and from 165 pound-feet to 177 lb. ft. of torque.
