G-Vectoring Control: Advanced Steering Assistance
Â
You may have encountered the term G-Vectoring Control and wondered what it's all about. Let's explore this important technology found in Mazda's latest models.
What is G-Vectoring Control?
Mazda's G-Vectoring Control technology is the first of Mazda's SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS technologies. It offers drivers a sense of absolute control, thanks to precise and responsive steering that delivers maximum grip during your drive, even in wet road conditions. The system seamlessly controls engine torque and applies slight braking forces to allow for more precise and confident cornering without the driver having to do anything.
How G-Vectoring Control Enhances Your Drive
We've learned what G-Vectoring Control is, but how exactly does this Mazda technology work to enhance the drive?
Improving Cornering and Stability
Mazda's G-Vectoring Control improves cornering and stability by effectively controlling the engine's ignition timing. It manages the torque output to control the chassis dynamics, allowing for smoother and more accurate steering inputs.
For example, the system reduces engine torque at the start of a turn, as sensed by steering wheel inputs, and effectively shifts weight to the front tires tasked with steering, thus improving cornering response. During the cornering maneuver, the system continues to detect the driver's steering position and calculates the optimal engine torque that the engine needs to provide. Once exiting a turn, the technology helps the vehicle to maintain a stable steering position by ramping up engine torque again and sending it to the rear wheels, making for a smoother exit out of the corner.
Providing a Comfortable Ride
Not only does the G-Vectoring Control provide the necessary driver assistance to corner smoothly, but it also provides passengers with a comfortable ride. By unobtrusively managing torque and braking inputs, this technology reduces any unwanted yaw in your Mazda, reducing driver inputs and fatigue, making for a more comfortable ride.
Mazda's Innovative Approach
Mazda has taken an innovative approach to creating vehicles that offer driving enjoyment. Mazda firmly believes in the joy of driving, and every Mazda is engineered with a human-centric development philosophy to create SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS, of which G-Vectoring Control is just one of these technologies. These technologies have resulted in vehicles that feel like an extension of your body, offering more precise steering, better control, and less driver fatigue.
SKYACTIV Technology Integration
Mazda's SKYACTIV technologies are there to make the driving experience easier and less stressful. This is achieved by the total integration of these technologies into Mazda's vehicles. Drivers need only enjoy the drive while SKYACTIV Technologies work seamlessly, keeping you safely on the road.
Human-Centric Engineering
Rather than focusing solely on the mechanics of vehicle dynamics, Mazda's engineers started the development of these technologies with people. Mazda studied the characteristics and behaviors of drivers to design vehicles that work harmoniously with the driver.
