Tested in Extreme Cold | Mazda Reliability

August 28 2017, Mazda Canada

At Mazda, it is our mission to build vehicles that perform and endure, even the coldest of climates.

That’s why we test in Lac Saint-Jean, Quebec, where temperatures below -20°C are not uncommon.

Our commitment to quality and passion for precision ensures that our SKYACTIV engine maximizes water and oil pump efficiency while reducing friction. That means you can feel confident about cold starts.

See how our SKYACTIV engine and SKYACTIV-Body respond to freezing cold temperatures meant to simulate Lac Saint-Jean – even after we give our vehicle a car wash.

Tested in Corrosive Climates | Mazda Reliability

That’s why we test our vehicles in Halifax. With salt water blowing off the ocean, and more hydrogen in the air than normal, the climate in Halifax is particularly hard on metal. But relative to traditional car bodies, our SKYACTIV-Body minimizes the number of welds where liquids and contaminants can seep in. This dramatically reduces the potential for corrosion. Watch as we recreate the... Read more

Tested on Winter Roads | Mazda Reliability

That’s why we test our vehicles in Montreal, and study how extreme road and weather conditions affect vehicle wear over time. From these tests, we know exactly where to introduce panels of zinc-coated steel. This specialized steel prevents corrosion in the event that road elements flick up and chip the paint, exposing metal to moisture. Watch as we simulate the destructive combination of salt... Read more
