Default What is SkyactivG?

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum and have a question about the car I just bought.
Two weeks ago I bought a 2021 CX-30 and noticed on the back it reads Skyactiv "G". What does the "G" mean?
Heck, I don't even know what SkyActiv is. The 2012 Mazda 3 I traded in was not Skyactive, so I'm really in the dark. Google really didn't help.
If anyone can explain this is simple terms I would appreciate it very much.

So I did a little digging and now I have another term to figure out: SKYACTIV VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-VECTORING CONTROL. Mazda says it helps with performance, how?

The G in Skyactiv G is the gasoline engine.

Skyactiv is Mazda terminology for the complete design, engine, transmisiion, chassis, suspension and interior.

G Vectoring uses Yaw sensor and steering angle sensor to compare the vehicle direction vs steering direction and will individually brake wheels to bring the vehicle into line to safely maintain control.
