2011 Mazda Shinari Review

Mazda Shinari is a model of a pure design concept four-door, four seat sports coupe that expresses perfectly "KODO - Soul of motion design theme of" a graceful and carefree.

Shinari The Japanese word describes the emergence of a powerful and flexible large elastic force when objects of high resistance, such as steel or bamboo, are twisted or bent. It also refers to the appearance of a person or animal, as your body becomes flexible to generate a fast motion. In this move, Mazda designers have discovered the potential to achieve "Kodo -. The movement of the soul"

A look at the concept of Mazda Shinari arouse emotions. Its shape indicates a strong movement has developed a very lean muscular, agile, but at the same time full of emotions. Mazda's desire is to get the hearts of car enthusiasts', and over the concept of rational logic. This is a very pure form of this desire.

 

Designer Challenge

Yasushi Nakamuta, the lead designer who led the design of the third generation Mazda MX-5, was the first to begin to commit suicide by Mazda Shinari Concept: "Our challenge was to create an expression for the innovative and powerful energetic movements , something we had never tried before. We started with the development of the design around the image of a predator when it hits its prey, or stabbing movement in kendo, Japanese fencing, to express the accumulated time the force is released.

Translation of this first moment of "instantaneous movement promoted by Shinari Mazda Mazda design concept presented in a variety of challenges as well as designers and modellers working on the project. The process of a series of activities, which saw the inspiration of the team in different places. This included each team member creates sketches and sculpture-free clay models to represent their conceptions of "Kodo -. Seoul's move "And then continued to study the functional beauty is seen as a traditional Japanese crafts, and movement to witness the ancient Japanese martial arts.

As the team continued this exploratory process, Nakamuta focused on a force so strong it can bend a significant portion of the steel plate. Design Concept Mazda Shinari adds subtle touches and tension to create forms that express the movements smooth and powerful, resulting in an expression of "KODO - Soul Movement."

 

Exterior - unbridled expression of the agile movement

With an image of strength that comes through each panel and component looks Shinari Mazda Concept ready to jump on a second. The strong backbone that runs through the body, the sudden release of stored energy and the interaction of the fine, smooth moves - this form is an expression of all these elements.

The appearance of the A-pillar that tapers towards the rear of the body, the shape of the cab, front fenders, Shinari these and other elements combine to create proportions, suggesting the immediate release of energy for drive the car forward.

The distinctive front fenders is the further development of the wings protruding introduced the Mazda RX-8. They point to the front wheels, and highlights the dynamic movement reflected in the side of the body, in a style that is both sporty and elegant. Draw fluid lines to the rear from the front fenders and meet those who travel out of the rear bumper in a multi-layered effect. This combination creates a look that suggests a strong sense of excitement with a graceful beauty.

 

All Mazda body flattened as if Shinari Concept evolving. There is no static type available, such as the car is in perpetual motion. For example, the subtle control of the angle of the upper face of the side frame from front to rear, resulting in a form that suggests a glimmer of momentum along the body of the car.

The sculpture in three dimensions of the grid points with pride Mazda line. A line of powerful movement in the home network and continues through the hood, fenders, lamp modules and front bumper. In particular, the floating bar - that connects the door with the lights - is an expression in three dimensions of speed, an approach that is a distinctive signature new to Mazda. Headlights, Mazda designers have created a structure with the projector lens is external exposure from the lights and sunken eyes, suggesting a wild animal ready to pounce on its prey.

Aerodynamic performance was an important goal of the concept of Mazda Shinari, and the center of the bottom - as well as front and rear bumpers - are designed to optimize the airflow along the car chassis. Line drawn that connects the front bumper side skirts and rear bumper, fill a similar role and improve the flow of air through the body, while further contributing to the car's aerodynamic performance.

 

Exterior mirror, wheels and tailpipes emphasize the feeling of lightness and agility, and hand crafted to convey the feeling of human contact, which contributes to the feeling of a superior quality.

For the body color, a bright metallic blue was selected to provide an image of hard metal. The strong yet further highlights the brilliance combines with the clear contrast in the shadows to create a balance between the powerful, three-dimensional shape and appearance of the surfaces of flexion and rotation, a balance that has been a goal design. The hard, flash light forged steel with a Japanese sword is combined with wisdom and sensuality to express the highest quality.

Inside - Exploring a new approach to the unity between car and driver

When you create the concept interior Mazda Shinari goal was to design a significant premium cockpit that integrates its DNA intrinsic. While the exterior design, can be enjoyed through the movement from the inside, meanwhile, is experienced in a static, seated position. A commitment to significant mechanical function and excellent ergonomics have created a driver-oriented cockpit that expresses "the ultimate athletic space," while expressing a sense of momentum inside the car.

Enter the vehicle of the eye immediately drawn to the cockpit a driver-oriented around the driver. Angle to the surface and movement sets the tone for the entire interior. The highlight of the interior is coated between the instrument panel top and bottom, as opposed to crisp the surface, edges and fine mechanical details. Crafts interior is characterized by the use of brilliant finishing the perimeter of integrated cockpit and strengthen the sense of speed. Use authentic materials, including machined aluminum, soft leather and natural design of precision instrumentation and control, gives the interior an attractive quality that exceeds expectations.

 

Professional to fill the car's controls

Mazda's designers wanted to redefine the proximity of the instrumentation and control drivers through the establishment of an intuitive "to reach" areas, which Mazda calls "dedicated to driving ergonomics." All instruments and controls are designed and positioned to improve the driving experience. What separates the two isolated areas of the dashboard, the driver's cab is isolated from the rest of the interior and allows the driver to concentrate on the task of driving. Reinforce the message to the driver orientation, the design of basic and secondary echo of the most important tools for the shape of the cabin, which provides a clear view of the simple driver's seat. Sitting behind thick frame, three-spoke steering wheel the driver is sitting inside a single seat contoured for maximum comfort and support.

The principle of "driving ergonomics specialist" is also reflected in the car next generation human-machine interface (HMI). The availability of small electronic components has allowed designers Mazda Shinari concept of creating a floating three-dimensional GUI screen, a design element that represents the latest HMI technology. The system offers three modes. Business, pleasure and sport "

 

Working mode allows the driver to stay in touch with their day jobs. In the pleasure-mode focuses on comfort and entertainment, allowing the driver to customize the interior to create a relaxed atmosphere. In sports mode, the driving environment has changed the gearbox paddle is activated, the suspension settings are tuned for driving performance, and controls have been simplified, the driver can concentrate on only the driving experience.

The main instrument panel surfaces are positioned low and away from occupants, creating a unique sense of openness. HMI interface and controls for front passenger seats are a new level of detail and functionality of the interior Premium Mazda. Even if the internal volume is treated in this way has a high sense of sporty driving dynamics.

Mazda Shinari concept is a profound link the driver and car, and the beginning of the new theme of Mazda's "Kodo-Seoul in Motion". Shinari exhibits functional aesthetic that continues to evolve Mazda continues to depend on its next generation of vehicles.

 

Fighting for the original and the original Japanese Mazda

With Mazda Shinari concept as the first step, Ikuo Maeda, general manager of Mazda's design division, is the creation of original designs that Mazda will be recognized throughout the world. He summarizes his determination as follows:

"My goal is to create models, which give meaning to people with pride and say," This is a Mazda design. "There is no need for Mazda to build cars for people who are only concerned with" style "and" trends ". If the job is a sports car or compact cars, are always working to create designs that evoke emotional response in people and I hope to continue to do the same I remain fully committed to developing models for people who love and admire the cars. And 'my personal belief that the only way to create models that are substantially access to people, and create models of their love, is whether people who create them are absolutely passionate about cars and are willing to make that a passion for designing corporate policies of expression.

 

"Also, I think it is very important to obtain information about the original design of Japanese cars in the Mazda. It is not only where the elements of traditional Japanese design of the car. I think that reflects the spirit of Japanese car models as part the practice of the subconscious. So when I see where this could lead to the future, my plan is to create cars that are immediately recognizable as the Mazda, even when viewed from afar My ultimate goal is to create a presence in the fans drive all over the world recognize and represent the originality of the Mazda Japan, Mazda and originality Futuremark is moving physically and emotionally -.. this is "Kodo - Seoul movement".

In addition, new steering mounting rings with a spring constant reduced to control compliance and optimal stability greatly improved, especially when cruising on the highway.

 

Aerodynamic

A new front bumper designed to give highly Mazda 6 facelift looks great athletics. In addition, a horseshoe-shaped front tire deflectors, a new disc-type air deflector is added, the front spoiler was extended and widened rear tire deflectors. Together, these changes reduce the turbulence of the airflow around the wheels and sides of the body, and to improve the aerodynamics. Cx is 0.27 and the sedan and hatchback and wagon are the lowest segment of the 0.28 CD.

New 2.0-liter DISI petrol - Updated Matic automatic transmission active

For the facelift, replacing the gasoline engine Mazda size of the original model with a gasoline 2.0-liter DISI is more fuel efficient, more lively and quick. This species at high speed direct injection provides a maximum output of 114 kW/155 hp at 6200 rpm and 193 Nm of torque at 4500 rpm. It adds fuel to spray finely sprayed directly into the cylinders, and when it evaporates it lowers the combustion temperature. This is so good to hit the delete - usually a problem with gasoline direct injection - a high compression ratio can be used to provide power, high acceleration and good fuel economy.

Customers can choose the exact Mazda alter six-speed manual - is the third highest, gear ratios and the sixth quarter fuel efficiency at higher speeds - or a new five-speed automatic to manual Activematic state of change. A five-speed automatic has just been optimized for torque converter characteristics, offering an optimal combination of acceleration and fuel economy. This transmission offers a comfortable ride and sporty, while using only 7.6 liters per 100 km (combined), in sedan and wagon.

Despite the production of 6 kW / 8 hp and torque 9 Nm more than aspirated 2.0-liter it replaces, the new DISI transmission with a manual transmission only uses 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. And the new single nano-technology catalyst is positioned immediately downstream of the exhaust manifold to ensure rapid activation of the catalyst and the reduction of emissions is a cold start. With the DISI engine, sedan and wagon, each producing 4.2 percent less CO 2 than the 2-liter gasoline output and meet the Euro V emission standards

 

Diesel engines - dampened fuel consumption and CO2

All three variants of the powerful and sporty Mazda 2.2-liter-CD turbo-diesel engine is quieter-running cold start with the new revised fuel injection timing, EGR control reviewed and candles preheat to assist combustion.

Versions for high and medium power engineers to reduce the turbine wheel of the turbocharger outlet diameter of 41.5 mm by 36 mm, reducing the inertia of turbines by 24 percent and torque increases. Consequently, the High Power version greatly improved the speed acceleration sixth from 80 to 120 km / h. Medium power version now has a torque of 10 Nm over where it is needed most - in the range 1400-1600 rpm - to a thrilling acceleration sensor.

The standard facelift Mazda 6-Power Diesel is an excellent combination of power and fuel consumption of life. To accomplish this, the pair is increased by reducing the diameter of the turbine exhaust turbocharger (41.5 mm to 32 mm), reducing the inertia of the turbine at 51% and reducing the diameter outside of the turbine compressor itself of 57 mm to 47 mm, which increases the torque of 30 Nm at a speed of rotation of 1400 rpm to 2400 range.

This produces high torque at low engine speeds-and mid-range and engine response. The Standard Power version producing 95 kW/129 PS of maximum power 3500 rpm and 340 Nm of torque, while using only 5.2 liters of fuel per 100 km.

Standard-derived food is not only efficient and frugal, but clean. It produces small amounts of CO 2 using an optimized shape of cavities in the crown of each piston. This makes the combustion more efficient to exploit the time-consuming in the air and reducing CO 2 by about 1.2 percent compared to the original shape of a crown. Engineers have also raised this version is the transmission rate which, when combined with a rapid response of the engine to feel better faster, while producing 138 g / km of CO 2 (sedan / hatch).

All three diesel derivative of the Mazda 6 facelift meets Euro V and designed with a low thermal capacity of the exhaust manifold and single pipe, which accelerates cold start warm up the catalyst and lower total CO 2 - emissions. More precise adjustments to the exhaust gases (EGR) and injection systems are introduced as well, reducing NOx emissions. These technologies are combined with a diesel particulate filter, which consists of a high heat resistant material includes ceramic and catalyst developed independently from Mazda. This catalyst stored oxygen in the base material and use it in combination with oxygen in the exhaust gases to improve combustion of soot emissions.

 

This makes the regeneration of the filter more quickly and efficiently. The Committee is also aware of the excellent emissions, reduces fuel consumption and reduce the number of regenerations, without sacrificing performance and driving pleasure.

Single catalyst Nano technology for all petrol engines

Part of the eco-evolution of Mazda powertrain includes the introduction of a single catalyst developed by Mazda for its gasoline engines. Traditional catalysts are precious metals that cause chemical reactions on surfaces which cleans the exhaust gases. Because these metals are linked to a base material, they tend to agglomerate into larger particles over time, reducing their ability to purify exhaust gases. To offset this problem, the catalysts are traditionally used large amounts of precious metals. Mazda has solved this problem by successfully integrating the noble metal particles in the base material catalytic nano-sized (<5 nm) for the first time. These particles remain in place for long periods of exposure to high exhaust heat, which maintains an area for effective gas purification.

Mazda not only one unique nano-technology catalyst helping the efficiency of the gasoline engine, it needs about 72 percent less precious metals, preserving rare natural resources and reduce production costs.

2.5 Litre Petrol - an exclusive driving experience

Top-of-the-range 2.5 MZR petrol engine of 125 kW/170 hp and maximum power at 6000 rpm and 226 Nm at 4000 rpm. A lot of stiffness of the block, two balancer shafts, dual-mass damper and a flexible flywheel of this engine delivers power evenly, so cultivated. Under the hood of the new Mazda 6 facelift, this engine offers a truly premium driving. Its compact size and light weight and fuel optimization technologies, such as a sequential valve timing (S-VT) and a variable intake system (VIS), to maximize the power output and torque at all engine speeds, while maintaining the consumption fuel to a minimum. Aerodynamic upgrades, revised gear ratios and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) have reduced their consumption slightly (by 0.1 liters per 100 kilometers and less), but the beginning of upgrades to make your cruise more stable, what the engine is very good. This is one of the new nano-technology as a catalyst, and meets the Euro V emission standards

1.8 MZR petrol pump - now even more frugal

MZR 1.8 petrol five-speed gearbox is a wonderful combination of a lively performance and low power consumption. Electronic speed control, it is great to drive, and increases the effectiveness of the charging manifold VIS depending on the speed of the engine by varying the length of the access points to ensure optimum power delivery at all engine speeds. It produces 88 kW/120 hp at 5500 rpm and 165 Nm at 4300 rpm, but has revised gear ratios to use less fuel than current engine (fastback about 6 percent less).

Passive safety

Mazda 6 facelift Triple-H body structure is made of high strength steel and reinforced launched in virtually every part of the hull so it is very effective to disperse the impact energy of the cab and fuelsystem. Inside, the Mazda 6 facelift package of safety features include active head restraints, six airbags, brake and clutch pedals not interfere in the cabin during a frontal crash impact, absorbing cut pillars and roof rails, and anchors ISOFIX child safety seat and off the top of each rear seat.

Pedestrian protection

Mazda 6 Facelift is one of the energy absorption and the bonnet, and the structures to absorb impact energy drain cover and fender supports, which reduced the possibility of serious head injuries. It also uses energy-absorbing foam front bumper bars, and reinforcements at the bottom of the plastic front bumper that helps reduce the severity of leg injuries.

Active Safety - New technologies for on-road

Active safety, the new Mazda 6 facelift based on the same package of the outgoing model. This is a big 299 mm front disc brakes with calipers pistons that are 57 mm and 280 mm rear discs with calipers that have a diameter of 34.9 mm pistons. These form a four-wheel ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, electronic traction control (TCS) and DSC, including all standard. Mazda 6 facelift is also a Tire Pressure Monitoring System and sensor parking system. Mazda's rear vehicle monitoring system is also on board. Using two wide-angle, 24 GHz, a microwave radar to the right and left side of the rear bumper, this system is a fully independent active safety, which is to identify and warn the driver of a vehicle approaching from behind - when driving at speeds over 60 mph - before he has the ability to change lanes by mistake. Also detects vehicles driving in the blind spot, and is effective even in bad weather.

 

The two radar units are positioned to face the outside of the midline to cover the tracks left and right rear of the car in the range of about 50 m. These radar units emit microwaves, which are reflected on a getaway car - including small vehicles like motorcycles - and picked up by radar units in the bumper. To this, add four new facelift following active safety systems for even more peace of mind.

New type swivel Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS), bi-xenon headlights

Facelift Mazda 6 is available with the new type of AFS swivel for even better visibility at night. The system uses the driver's steering wheel and the speed of the car to illuminate the curve better. Turn right or left, depending on the direction of translation of headlights up to 15 degrees to illuminate that part of the road, the car will be brought up to three seconds later. Works with both xenon high beams and low.

Launch of new hill Help (HLA) function

Hill, an easy start with the new Mazda 6 facelift of the HLA system. When a driver stops on the hill, the system automatically calculates the slope of the hill using the acceleration sensor in the airbag unit. If the score is 2 or more pronounced, holds the brakes when the driver releases the brake pedal to prevent the car from rolling back down. When the driver leaves the brake pedal and press the gas pedal again, the functionality of the brake control, DSC has the car continues until there is enough torque to move the car safely to the slope.

 

Emergency stop signal (ESS)

If the driver has to brake suddenly in an emergency, facelift Mazda 6 sends a signal immediately after the car goes beyond simple brake lights. If the driver runs over 50 km / h and stops with a minimum of $ 0.7 million, the lamps of distress to warn the cars behind the tabs quickly. Once the vehicle speed drops to 10 km / h or less, or stop completely, emergency lights continue to draw, but at a slower rate (normal rate) to help prevent rear shock stopped. Emergency lights are automatically activated again after the brake pedal is released.

Turn based smart signaling a Lane change

Turn Smart is introduced on the Mazda 6 facelift. It allows the driver to signal a lane change with the light flashing, simply by moving your arm Turn some time: the turn signal to flash three times on the page indicated.

2011 Mazda 5 Review

In the fall of 2010, the new Mazda 5 hits showrooms in Europe as the successor to the first generation of Mazda compact multi-activity vehicle (C-MAV). The original model was popular with families looking for superior functionality in a. Compact and safe from the market launch in 2005, Mazda has found 5.5 million owners worldwide, 175,000 of them in Europe. He also won 37 vehicle price, and always has been voted one of the most reliable and safe small car in Europe.

The new Mazda 5 was developed from the outset to carry on this tradition of success in a fascinating combination of a stylish exterior, high security and functionality of the interior, which goes beyond what people expect from the C-MAV. Not only is it a brand new look and feel like a sporty sedan and improve the driving experience, but also has two rear sliding doors, large rear-door opening, leg room is of 2 and 3 plan, which is one of the largest segment, and more comfortable seats, the tools that are easier to use, and flexibility, and high driving capability.

Mazda Recycling Program

Currently, about 80 percent (by weight) of ingredients, at the end of life vehicles are recycled Mazda mostly metal parts. Efforts continue to raise the sum is easier to recycle plastic, glass and other materials that make up the remaining 20 percent. Plastic parts are marked according to ISO material, giving the name of separation easy, but it can be easily recycled resin is polypropylene (PP) is used to make the front and rear bumpers, instrument panels and panels of the cabins.

A new dynamic flow

The all-new Mazda 5 is a completely new exterior, which uses the Nagare flow design, which won design awards for concept cars Mazda. These factors, coupled with the new head of Mazda, a "hidden" D-pillar, new horizontal taillights give it a call that is unique in the C-MAV segment. Inside, the Mazda 5 a new instrument panel, steering wheel and center console, with new seats, materials, colors and seat fabric for a better quality feel.

 

The new external

Mazda MPV adds new face to the family brand that not only makes you stronger-looking and athletic, but also improves the aerodynamics and engine cooling performance. The five-point grille is much larger than the bumper lights with new more aesthetic and more sophisticated. Below these openings are new integrated fog depth in the bumper. This creates a thick lower lip, which rises along the outer edge of the fascia and on the wing. Fender taking the movement created by the fog light rim that covers the wheel in response to a flow of waves, as Nagare character line that moves the vehicle side and rear slide right under the railway undertaking.

This is a unique articulation of the side panels is based on the patterns formed when the wind blows the water. It integrates the front bumper area of ​​the sides and rear of the vehicle so that, when combined with the light on the edge of the door at the bottom, is a sensation of movement even when the vehicle is stationary. "Hidden" the D-pillar - formed to cover with glass - horizontal headlamps and to improve the integrated effect of the flow front return and make a new Mazda 5 and a single external C-MAV segment, and unmistakably Mazda.

 

Wheels and exterior colors

New Nagare flow-aluminum / alloy wheel design (16 and 17 inches) are introduced with twisted spokes, which will give them a sporty three-dimensionality, which promotes the flow patterns of the silhouette Mazda 5.

There is also a 15-inch steel wheels, full wheel cover. There are eight exterior colors for customers to choose the new blue Clearwater.

New Zone front passenger, new materials and tissue

The new fascia design is imported into a brand new Mazda 5, which makes the front passenger area seem larger than before, and gives the interior of the high style and sportiness. The cap driver group, for example, is now a major, and flows into a arched shape the outer edge of the center console of an integrated display quality. The new dashboard is now a white light, and a large display of information is located at the top of the center console. Center console has a new frameless, open-triangle shape, which connects to the dashboard, and a completely new audio panel design of the chrome knobs. Chrome plating is also a new gear knob, air conditioning vents and door handles. Gauge wheel, door panel, turn, door trim, and a knob to turn on the central panel is a high quality finish in matt silver.

 

A new black fabric is presented to a feeling of even higher quality. Five seats and seven seats in class postal two different drugs and a model of gradual small block in the middle section. Medium and high quality fabric seat has vertical wavy lines that express Nagare flow, and piping synthetic leather and trimmed with a dark blue tone. Leather seats are also available with perforations in the central section of the file, and red piping and stitching, which gives a sporty look.

The ideal family car

With a wheelbase of 2750 mm, a width of 1,750 and a total height of 1,615 mm, the new Mazda 5 offers the perfect package for up to seven people comfortably, while providing excellent maneuverability. The new model is 80 mm longer than the current model, 4585 mm, due to its highly sculpted front design provides superior performance aerodynamics and improved protection of pedestrians.

 

User-friendly

Two sliding doors in the rear, 130 mm wide, 439 mm stage only the earth, and one of the largest segment to open the rear doors (686 mm wide, 1083 mm high) allows easy access in Mazda 5 indoors, even if you are holding a child in her arms. Electric rear doors can be opened automatically with the key remote central locking and a button on the dashboard, or manually using the handles on the doors. The driver has an optimized shape and the establishment of the headquarters of the hood for wide field of view, which makes city driving safer and easier parking. And, of course, the steering wheel is tilt and telescopic.

Instrumentation has been optimized for easy and intuitive to use. Two meters butterfly has a new air control that displays the current position of the change, and notify the driver to shift gears according to driving conditions more suitable - the fuel consumption and steady performance. Center console audio control buttons - change the disk / class, folders and file / Track - located in the center of the audio panel and the chrome molding for the right to sign for ease of use. Knobs are of high quality chrome rim, and the buttons are grouped by their function, so that they can be easily identified while driving. New display board information, which is located high on the dashboard to reduce eye movement required to read while driving. You can scroll through the screens (the computer and audio) is also easy to use by pressing a button on the steering wheel. Armrest and front passenger will be introduced.

 

The driver and front passenger seat armrest is extended (15 mm) for better support arm.

One of the most comfortable vehicle segments

The new Mazda 5 car offers room row most generous in the second and third leg in the C-MAV segment. The second row of seats can be adjusted to an angle of 50 degrees on sitting to the right, and can be adjusted by dragging to 270 mm. The raised floor in the rear has been designed to provide two rows back, a clear view forward and diagonally to a ride that is better than a car flatfloor. There are backups larger front driver and front passenger and driver and front passenger seat center armrest is 15 mm wider. The front seat cushion center of the second row is now 50 mm thick and extended his record for 50 mm, making it more comfortable to sit in. The ventilation for the new Mazda 5 is the highest of the previous generation, which improves cabin comfort in cold weather or hot and the benefit of rear passenger vents under the front seats.

 

The interior is now quieter and more comfortable at high speeds. Wind noise is reduced for example by designing the crescent-shaped outline on the back of the hood so that air can circulate freely here without hitting the windows or their weapons directly. The shapes of the new A-pillars, reducing turbulence and wind noise from that source. To reduce noise transmitted to the road vibration characteristics of the interior have been optimized suspension, the frame around the door hinge pillars filled with foam insulation to block out noisy new tires and extra insulation laid between the ceiling and trim the roof panels to absorb all the road noise. Hardness generated by the air intake system was also lowered by moving the air ducts of wings to wrap the section of fresh air intake.

 

It also increased the size of the air filter and the rationalization of the air intake system. These measures reduce wind noise by 10 percent and a quiet and comfortable drive.

Convenience and storage Families

The all-new Mazda 5 has room for up to seven people and the seat can be folded easily for a variety of seating configurations - a two-seater with cargo space to carry big things, four-seater with a boot ideal for summer vacation, seven seats for friends and family. Safety belts three-point-row seats allow the second center in the assembly of the three seats needed. The third-row seats are 50/50 in the design and can be independent fell flat on the floor or back with ease through the seat belt attached.

2nd row Karakuri Mazda only function. Reset the front left seat cushion allows you to save the middle seat cushion into the space below. You can lower the seat down center armrest with a large and comfortable, or you can bend a practical Karakuri box - located under the seat cushion on the right - in the middle of space. This is useful because it has a large tray on top and a net below which may contain elements of a family in need while driving. And when the Karakuri box is in use, a storage of 6.3 liters is available under the cushion of the right of additional storage space. When the middle seat is folded to the side of the seat, leave a space large enough to allow access to the third row, which means you do not have to first remove a child seat installed in a seat 2nd row out and the tip of the seat forward to return.

 

Overall, the new Mazda 5 is a huge amount of storage options, including an eight-liter sub-frame boxes, six cup holders, two bottleholders and 11 - liter glove box. In addition, two pop-ups at the tables behind the front seats, cup holders.

Team

The new Mazda 5 makes all of this convenience and comfort even more interesting with a long list of standard features and optional. For example, a brand new Mazda 5 can be equipped with low-cost navigation system features, such as an LCD touch screen 14.7 cm, a Bluetooth ® hands-free audio control for an external microphone, an integrated CD player + radio , and includes an iPod ®, iPhone ® (via a cable connection), and MP3-CD compatibility. Its 4 GB memory, 99 percent coverage of the major European markets such as Russia, with the latest maps for 18 European languages.

Standard features adjustable electrical mirrors, manual air conditioning, height adjustable driver seat, electric windows front and rear one-touch driver's window, power locks, safety contact sensor for sliding doors, power six airbags, ABS four-channel electrical force distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, an emergency stop signal (ESS), traction control (TCS) and DSC. Also standard is an auxiliary jack that lets you play MP3 players with car audio system and a new fourspeaker radio digital signal processor (DSP) reduces noise and unwanted radio dual tuner (for Europe only ) that ensures clear radio reception everywhere.

 

Available are rear parking sensors, heated seats, a 6-disc CD, a FIX-EQ audio that automatically optimizes sound characteristics according to the Interior, Bluetooth ® audio plays MP3 players Wireless, Bluetooth ® telephone system with voice recognition and steering wheel better, a pressure monitoring system (TPMS: 17 "only) and xenon headlights - among many other functions.

Double-digit reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

The new engine has been updated with 1.8 MZR petrol engines line-up of all new Mazda 5 Mazda MZR petrol engine 2.0 DISI-stop with the technology will replace the current 2.0-liter gasoline, and produces a double-digit decreases the consumption of fuel and CO2 emissions.

Fuel line now includes the fuel economy of the i-stop motor

Mazda MZR 2.0 DISI gasoline produces new 110kW/150 maximum horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 191 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm with a top speed of 194 km / h for a lot of fun to drive.

The Mazda engine also features start / stop i-stop system which saves fuel by turning off the engine when the car is stopped at a red light or in traffic, and then automatically restarts when the driver presses the pedal clutch to drive again. Mazda i-stop is unique because it uses a "starter-Combustion help +" system that uses the combustion engine to restart the engine, not just from an electric motor and conventional start / stop systems. This initiates restart in just 0.35 seconds, which is almost two times faster than conventional systems to stop the start-stop, and makes it safe, reliable and hassle free. For the new Mazda 5, i-stop control logic was changed again, and now the system shuts down the engine for an extended period of A / C is on, ensure that all auxiliary systems and equipment continue to operate normally during the motor phase loss. This means that the occupants of the cabin does not suffer the loss of comfort or convenience, due to the system.

 

Mazda i-stop system

I stop the system of the new Mazda 5 2.0-liter direct-injection gasoline is activated automatically when the car is started. If the driver so wishes, can remove the system switch on the dashboard.

The system is not visible when you run after first boot. Only when the car first comes to a halt and the driver depresses the clutch pedal is in neutral and releasing the clutch at idle the car makes the engine stops automatically. A green light on the driver cluster shows that the system start-stop engine shut-off began, as expected, which saves fuel when the vehicle is stationary. To continue driving, the driver depresses the clutch pedal and the engine restarts automatically.

Mazda i-stop is not the change in other systems currently on the market. It is a completely unique solution developed exclusively by Mazda, who needs an electric motor only at early and again.

And 'then activates the advantages of direct injection technology to start the engine quickly and reliably.

When the new Mazda 5 is stopped, the engine control unit of the motor is stopped until the amount of air cylinder of the compression stroke and expansion-stroke pistons are the same.

The driver does not notice, because it takes only a split second, put the engine to restart the ideal location. During this process, single-cylinder internal combustion engine remains in its working position.

Start the process begins when the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder this atomized then ignited, causing the piston to move down. At that time, start the engine is slightly increase the pace of the engine. Both of these events together to start very quickly to start the engine.

The decision does not use a power of the combustion engine was made after the restart, the R & D, Mazda engineers are carefully measured how much fuel is needed to re-start. They recognized that the power used for burning alone again, not only require a careful analysis of the positioning of the piston before the engine cut-off, it would also need a complete cleaning of gases from the combustion chamber unburned. This means the engine will continue to run a little 'longer before the engine cut-off, which would cost an extra fuel. Support the electric motor starting problems, this could be avoided.

Coordinate this type of mechanism restrike electric pulse to restart requires extremely sensitive sensors and engine management. Mazda i-stop system monitors the position of the piston of each cylinder and calculates a split second before restarting the engine cylinder cut exactly what will be most effective to restart later.

Conventional systems to identify which cylinder is the combustion-stroke crankshaft is rotated by an electric motor start requiring additional energy and slows down the restart. Mazda system, on the other hand, the starter motor to restart immediately restart a measured time only 0.35 seconds, two times faster than conventional systems.

This is also why the new Mazda 5 2.0 DISI liter gasoline engine is so smooth and quiet when it restarts. Use an electric starter is kept to a minimum to restart the engine without loss of reaction time, no vibration and noise.

 

As a result of combining technology with DISI i-stop, the new Mazda 5 is lively and fun to drive while using just 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 km, which is 13% less and produces only 159 g / km of CO2 - 15 percent less than the same displacement engine it replaces.

Updated 1.8-liter gasoline

An updated version of the gasoline engine remains popular 1.8-liter engine in the line-up of the new Mazda fifth

It adopts an electric throttle control valve fuel consumption and the feeling of performance. It uses an engine block aluminum alloy with light pistons and connecting rods for low vibration and linear driving feel. It produces 85 kW/115 PS of maximum power at 5300 rpm and 165 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. It is precisely coupled to the six-speed manual transmission with more friction, which contributes to lower fuel consumption of the motor 4 percent (7.2 liters per 100 km) CO2 emissions by 6 percent ( 168 g / km) and meets Euro V

Moving the air intake housing section helps you reduce the temperature of the air intake and provides greater energy efficiency. Improved engine cooling by extending the width of the radiator 25 mm allows fans to operate at a lower frequency.

Optimizing the control of the butterfly and the intelligent consumption of hitting help limit reduced fuel control.

Driving dynamics and safety

In developing the new model, Mazda focused on achieving a "Feel Harmonized Dynamic Driving" (named Toitsu-May) and the result is a remarkable linearity, or accelerating the rotation and stop giving the both driver and passengers with a comfortable ride feel. In addition, the new Mazda 5 is designed with more strength steel and ultra high reinforcements to be lighter, stiffer and more impact resistant than its predecessor. Engineers added a new suspension, steering and aerodynamic components, providing a more linear steering feel for more control and predictability.

In addition, the new Mazda 5 is the first global model that was introduced with the Mazda brake system Override.

Better body and the stiffness of the suspension for optimum handling

Chassis engineers improved the local rigidity in places where it would be easier to control the vehicle.

The extent of cuts for the D-pillars and tailgate upper corner radius of the opening of the tailgate, which reduces the movement of the tailgate opening of 17 percent from the previous Mazda fifth welds extra points were added to the ramp portion of the top shock front and the bottom of the B-pillars, and a closed section structure was adopted for the amounts back to increase the stiffness of the waist line.

 

The provision suspending the new Mazda 5 uses MacPherson strut front and multilink rear suspension, shock twintube front and separate high-speed mono-tube shock absorbers and springs rebound in full back. To achieve a more linear feel engine from the outgoing model, introduced new engineering rubber joints in the section of the steering shaft joint and stabilizer mounts, shock absorbers and modified rings for both front and rear suspension, and develops through the spring rate. These efforts provide a smooth response during acceleration, deceleration and cornering, and improve straight line stability when driving at highway speeds.

Aerodynamic new

The front end of new design of the Mazda 5, not only sets it apart from other trucks, but also contributes to aerodynamic performance is exceptionally good for a C-MAV. A new front spoiler lips, a flat baffle engine secrets of the tires and work together to channel air under the vehicle effectively, which helps keep fuel consumption down. Vehicle design is also optimized to improve the balance of the lift on the front and rear. These measures provide the all-new Mazda 5 a drag coefficient of just 0.30, among the lowest in the C-MAV segment.

Passive safety - improved impact strength

The all-new Mazda 5 is an evolution of the security package which has been the remarkable current Mazda 5 is one of the safest in Europe minivans. To achieve this, safety engineers developed geometric absorption Mazda Motion (MAGMA) system to create a new body with strong structures Triple H in the floor, sides and roof, then added additional body reinforcements to do even better absorb impact energy in the world behind accidents.

The cabin is now stronger than ever for new reinforcements in the roof, steel, presented to the center pillars and a high tensile strength steel side sills approved. Its doors are now stronger and less likely to break the effect. Their edges on the top of the plant as closed, and the special screws inserted in front of and behind the sliding doors in a reliable way to keep them closed during the impact. Side door "two impact beams were recently identified and their structures have changed from the previous two hats hat ultra-high steel, so I'm still taking shape. Also new are the seats of the Mazda 5 large energy-absorbing cushions inside doors and door trim, and the structure of the armrest on the door - which now has a collapsible design - which reduces the shock to passengers in case of side impact.

The second part of the dossier row has been strengthened as well and are now better able to resist the advance of luggage in a frontal collision when the third row seat is down or not present (Europe also offers a version five places).

New Mazda 5 is also safer if the back of the head impact, whether the new structure is better to absorb energy and protect the fuel tank. Frame surrounding the reservoir is of high quality steel, two plates each with a different thickness, and the elements of the frame are more direct, and is optimized for section.

Inside, passengers are protected by a passive safety package, with six airbags (front, side and curtain airbags), seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters for three front seats, a crush on the brake pedal and horizontal type shock absorption motion control design of the seats of the spine, and head restraints that help reduce whiplash in case of rear impact, ISOFIX child safety seat in the back of the second row, and soft, absorbing shock interior surfaces.

Active safety - touch sensor new doors and Park Assist

Using the new Mazda 5 The two electric sliding rear doors is now even safer with the first installation of a touch sensor strip that runs along the door. If sufficient force is applied to the band by the body of a person or another object and cause the band to distort, even slightly, the sliding stops instantly changes direction and returns to the open position again. New Mazda MPV is safer and easier to use in the city, with the introduction of a park.
