SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control helps achieve a smoother, less fatiguing drive by allowing your Mazda to adapt to changing roads and conditions in real time. When cornering, on initial turn-in and throughout, the system works seamlessly by adjusting power delivery and shifting vehicle weight. The effect is subtle, but how you feel after a great drive isn’t. Elevating your confidence and state of being through a heightened driving experience. That’s what Mazda is all about.

HUMAN-CENTRIC ENGINEERING

To instil the joy of driving into every Mazda vehicle, Mazda engineers design with a human-centric development philosophy. It’s how the automaker has created SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control. Instead of focusing on the mechanics of vehicle dynamics, Mazda started our development with people. Running countless studies on their characteristics and behaviours to design a vehicle that works harmoniously with the driver. The result? A car that feels like an extension of your body, with more precise steering, better control and less fatigue.

DESIGNED FOR YOUR DRIVER’S INSTINCTS

Mazda’s newest technology, SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control, helps you steer more precisely by optimizing load control. Just like an athlete refines his form to hit the ball further with less force, our technology strives for the same efficiency. Instead of strengthening the vehicle’s muscles, we improved how it delivers force so it can unleash its full potential. It works smarter, not harder, to make you feel connected and in control.

HOW SKYACTIVE VEHICLE DYNAMICS WORKS

START OF A TURN

• As the driver begins to turn, SKYACTIVE VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control improves cornering response by reducing engine torque and shifting the load to the front wheels

MIDDLE OF A TURN

• At this point, the technology detects the driver’s steering operation. It then calculates optimal engine torque and quickly sends that information to the engine

END OF A TURN

• Toward the end of a turn, the technology assists the driver in maintaining steering position by recovering engine torque and shifting the load to the rear wheels. This process helps improve overall cornering stability

JINBA ITTAI

When Mazda engineers created SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control, they followed the ancient Japanese philosophy of Jinba Ittai or “horse and rider as one.” Similarly, the goal of this technology is to create a perfect harmony between car and driver. So when you steer, there’s no need for constant overcorrections. The car, like a horse, understands your intentions. This results in a more dynamic, responsive and—most of all—more enjoyable drive.

DETAILS MAKE THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON DRIVING

Mazda never stops when it comes to making their vehicles the best-driving cars in every class. In fact, Mazda engineers are so obsessed with reaching this goal that they spent eight years developing the most subtle technology to improve performance. SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control is that technology. It enhances a vehicle’s dynamics on an extremely minute level, giving you a feeling of control, confidence and exhilaration.
