When not i-ELOOP-equipped, the 2014 Mazda6 still achieves class-leading highway fuel economy at 38 MPG—all with zero comprise of Mazda's proven driving dynamics.
Part of the SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY suite, i-ELOOP (for Intelligent Energy Loop) is a capacitor-based regenerative braking system that recoups energy lost during deceleration to power vehicle electronics, thereby decreasing alternator drag, fuel consumption, and emissions.
