Mazda has introduced Skyactiv vehicle dynamics, a series of new-generation “car motion control” technologies that provide integrated control of the engine, gearbox, chassis and body.
The aim is to strengthen what the Japanese call jinba-ittai – the sense of an unbroken, flowing connection between car and driver.
The G-vectoring control is the first innovation from this series and it will be introduced in next year’s Mazda CX-3. It finely controls engine power that is based on the steering and acceleration of the driver. This results in improved handling for the driver and ride quality for the passengers around corners. G-vectoring control will be introduced to new models in the future.
In addition to the carried-over model line-up, the 2017 CX-3 model range sees an addition of the Mazda CX-3 2,0-litre Individual Plus version. This new version comes with advanced safety features that include smart city brake support, adaptive LED headlights, lane departure warning, driver attention alert and blind spot monitoring.
Improvements include an exterior side-door trim on the Individual and Individual Plus versions as well as an addition of two new exterior unique colours: Eternal Blue Mica and Machine Gray Metallic. Representing the next level of Mazda’s premium colour palette, Machine Gray Metallic expresses the beauty of a machine’s strength and precision and achieves both high-contrast shadows and a high-density finish to give a realistic metallic feel.
Backed up by a three-year unlimited kilometre factory warranty, the improved Mazda CX-3 is designed and built to the highest standard of performance and reliability.
For complete peace of mind motoring, a three-year roadside assistance, a three-year service plan and a five-year corrosion warranty are also included.
