Mazda 3 Awd: How the new i-ACTIV AWD system work! | Tech Talk

The Mazda 3 just got a full redesign and is more sexy, luxurious and fun to drive than EVER! You can even get a Mazda 3 AWD in either the sports ( hatchback ) or the sedan version! The base engine is the good old 2.0L and optional is the 2.5-liter four-cylinder Skyactiv-G engine! With the Mazda 3 equipped with the i-ACTIV all-wheel drive, you can have serious fun in the snow! Mazda’s evolved i-ACTIV AWD system is available on 2019 Mazda3 and helps heighten the driving experience. Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD system adds “four-wheel vertical load” detection and works in harmony with G-Vectoring Control Plus to control torque
distribution between the front and rear wheels. As a result, it is fully capable of responding faithfully to the driver's intentions, regardless of the driving scene.

Check out that video to find out how the new i-ACTIV AWD system work in that Mazda 3!

3:18 interesting that those inputs were no longer necessary because Mazda still mentions them in official i-Activ AWD literature on their website. Maybe that’s just for the SUV’s? They also still mention the 2% minimum torque to the rear.

If this system is better than previous I've had I Cx-3 that it is amazing. I had CX 3 in Norway in the winter as a rental. It was well balanced and I've never noticed any slip between axels.
Now there is a new CX-8 diesel entering my family. Can't wait to borrow it for a road trip to Japanese mountains. One of the most comfortable SUV on the Japanese market (comparing Japanese manufacturers only).

Bon reportage !!! Ma phrase préférée est: when it is Off its Off !

So excited that awd is coming to the Mazda 6 soon!!

[aaronbryan]

I hope the high performance turbo model that Mazda's programme manager, Kota Beppu was talking about gets the green light/approved for production.

[iangeles]

Give me my manual awd! Just bought the hatch today. Loving it

[zerosixty]

I have a 25 Mazda3 Turbo AWD, it doesn’t use the wipers and outside temp anymore?

[keponen]

we dont need new algorithms, we need real permanent AWD

[TheGillederais]

Does this new awd tune only applicable specifically to mazda 3 or cx5 also?

[RawLu.]

AWD + All-Weather Tires = Zero Worries ;-)

[vipermoon_]

When stability control is Off, does GVC stay On?

[vince]

hey nice wagon if they only could bring that to Canada

[NoFearXJs]

More info about iactive AWD with real world scenario's, driving up a steep driveway covered in snow and ice showing both sides of the car for visuals of tire spin... real world applications for your every day driver not test track sliding most will never do... Fluffy info only angers people :\

[subazealand]

Still doesn't convince me the system. Much technology, but it drives and feels like a 2wd, and that's not the feeling you want in a SUV at least.
