CX-5

An SUV like no other

Here at Mazda we like to do things a lit tle differently and defy current

thinking. It’s this spirit of individuality that got us producing some of the most exciting cars on the road today. Like the all-new Mazda CX-5 which is the f irst car to have the new ‘KODO - Soul of Motion’ design at its core.

With KODO we’re taking car design beyond the functional sturdiness of

the typical SUV, and reaching a new level of emotion and sophistication. The stylish design cues are complemented by the introduction of Mazda’s intelligent SKYACTIV Technology. Together, the next generation of highly

efficient engines, transmissions, body and chassis make the Mazda CX-5

safe, but oh so exhilarating to drive.

SKYACTIV G Petrol engine

The new SKYACTIV-G petrol engine features the compression ratio for a production engine of 13:1. With new 4-2-1 exhaust system, lightweight cavity pistons and numerous other innovative measures, it achieves highly competitive fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions – and an equally impressive increase in torque across the entire rev range.

Benefits

• Combined fuel consumption of 6.8l for MT and 6.9l for AT according to Mazda’s testing conditions

• Power is at 114kW @ 6000rpm

• Torque is at 200Nm @ 4000 rpm

• CO2 emissions of 158g/km for MT and 161g/km for AT

SKYACTIV Transmissions

SKYACTIV-Drive

Supporting improved fuel economy, the six-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission features a new lock-up clutch and provides linear acceleration with a smoother, more direct shift feel.

Benefits

• Smooth start-up and acceleration

• Smooth, vibration-free gear shifting

• Advanced design contributes to improved fuel efficiency

SKYACTIV-MT Sportier and precise, the six-speed SKYACTIV-MT manual transmission is compact and lightweight in design and generates less internal friction. This results in greater fuel economy and a shift feel reminiscent of a sports car.

Benefits

• Short, crisp and light gear shift

• Direct sporty gear shift

• Increased transmission efficiency improves fuel economy

SKYACTIV-Chassis

• A next-generation high-performance lightweight chassis that balances precise handling with a comfortable ride feel to realize driving pleasure

• Newly developed front strut and rear multilink suspension ensures high rigidity and lightness.

• Mid-speed agility and high-speed stability — enhanced ride quality at all speeds achieved through a revision of the functional allocation of all the suspension and steering components

1. Combination of low-to mid-speed agility and high-speed stability

2. Balance of ride comfort with low-to mid-speed agility

3. Joint achievement of weight reduction and excellent tigidity

The front and rear suspension have been redesigned to deliver low-to midspeed agility and high-speed stability, nimble yet high quality ride comfort, with a light chassis and superior rigidity. A lightweight, highly rigid cross member and electric power steering also contribute to quick handling.

Combination of light feel at low-to-mid speeds and stability at high speeds

When the yaw gain (the force that turns a vehicle) is set at a high level to enhance the car’s nimbleness at the low-to-mid speeds, it tends to become excessive at high speeds, producing an oversensitive response in the car’s movements. To resolve this issue, we re-examined the geometry of the rear suspension. First of all, to ensure smooth movement at high speeds, we optimized the suspension links, and increased the grip of the rear wheels in response to impact (reducing the yaw gain).

Next, to ensure nimbleness of movement at low-to-mid speeds, we adopted a higher steering gear ratio (increasing yaw gain). By doing so, we simultaneously increased yaw gain at low-mid speeds and reduced yaw gain at high speeds, achieving improved nimbleness at the low-mid speed range and greater stability at the high-speed range.

The next challenge was to deliver agility at low-to-mid speeds at the same time as maintaining stability at high speeds, in terms of both vehicle movement and the steering force required. In other words, this refers to ensuring that the steering feel varies according to the speed of the vehicle. First of all, to ensure firm steering at high speeds, the front suspension caster angle and caster trail were increased to enhance self-aligning torque. Next, to ensure light and smooth steering at low-mid speeds, electric power steering controls were used to increase the power assistance at low-mid speeds, thus making the steering lighter. In this way we have created a steering feel that conveys security and a sense of oneness between car and driver, while also matching the car’s movements.

Balance of ride comfort with agility at low-mid range

The next aim was ride comfort, the balance of agility with comfort. We revised the structure of the suspension to improve handling without making the springs and dampers stiff. First of all, to enhance the operational efficiency of the dampers, the mounts were set at a position that enables a greater lever ratio. By implementing this change, damping force and the rigidity of the top mount rubber could be reinforced, reducing the impact on ride comfort.
