GVC Technology Experience on the Mazda3 & Mazda6 (2017)

As part of the next-generation product line, the Mazda3 & Mazda6 (2017) are two of Mazda's pioneers that own the G-Vectoring Control (GVC) acceleration control system to improve stability and comfort, and safe control. This system is part of Mazda's famous SkyActiv-Vehicle Dynamics synchronization solution, which keeps the car running smoothly, avoiding loss of steering when cornering as well as on the road.

Toru Yoshioka, Vice President of System Development, Mazda Group, Japan, said: "The G-Vectoring Control system will assist the driver to control the vehicle as an expert. To make driving more comfortable and safer in normal situations, we provide a great driving environment with excellent visibility by locating key controls in ideal locations and improve stability during operation to ensure that drivers can drive without worry or stress."

As a new generation of products, the Mazda3 & Mazda6 (2017) are equipped with more comprehensive technology with the aim to create emotional connection between drivers and vehicles, enhancing the driving experience based on Jinba-Ittai philosophy - When people and vehicles are one. With Jinba-Ittai philosophy, the Mazda3 & Mazda6 (2017) are not simply machines, but they can understand and fully support the driver. The position of the throttle and brake pedals are arranged in exactly the same way as the natural sitting position of the driver. While the steering system is perfectly connected to the engine via GVC technology, it helps the driver to operate precisely, enjoying the comfort while sitting in the car.

GVC technology is based on the impacts of the driver on the steering wheel (steering angle, steering speed), the system transmits information directly to the engine, thus adjusting the output torque of the engine in an active way, offering more dynamic, smoother and more precise control of the car, limiting the number of adjustments to the maximum. The GVC system actively supports the speed control of the vehicle, so that the acceleration changes are not so sudden so as to improve the balance and stability of the occupants, making the vehicle feel comfortable.

What makes the GVC technology so special is that the system responds very quickly and precisely, which means the driver usually does not notice when the system is operational. The driver does not lose their natural pose during steering. GVC technology even works better in slippery conditions in the rains or bad road surfaces. Tires always stick to the road in any circumstance, thus the safety is enhanced.

The Mazda3 & Mazda6 (2017) is the rise of a new generation of technologically advanced products that meet the ever-increasing demands of customers. If Mazda3 is suitable for dynamic, young, and experience-passionate customers, the Mazda6 is an attractive choice for young, successful, stylish, and elegant customers.
