In modern vehicle design, electronic control systems are central to, well, everything. Certain luxury car models are now equipped with upwards of 70 ECUs that are responsible for safety systems, stability control, and even moon roof operation. However, not all systems are designed for basic functionality. Mazda's engineering group has been working on variations of "GVC" G-Vectoring Control for the past driving the latest Mazda CX-5 and Mazda 3 with "GVC" it was hard to identify what the system was doing. After studying "GVC" and understanding how it worked, I was able to get the vehicle in snow to further test it. I immediately summarized the operation of "GVC" as a "torque reduction system." The ECU of the vehicle is looking at reducing the torque output of the motor to help transfer a small amount of weight onto the front wheels during cornering which reduces the G-load on the passengers and also helps keep the vehicle on it's intended path. To most people the ECU torque adjustment is transparent however, driver steering effort changes. "GVC" is so intuitive that it helps reduce micro corrections or changes to the steering angle in the middle of the turn which is the primary reason for smoother 3 with GVC, SavageGeese Steering Effort Reduced, Steering Effort, Mazda The concept of "GVC" was to improve driver confidence through the study of human behavior. Mazda aimed to improve the sense of control in hopes to solidify the attachment the owner has with the vehicle. The final design focuses on engine control and changing output characteristics. Those changes also required subtle updates to the suspension to maximize the overall performance. "GVC" is cannot be turned off and is baked into the engine programming.Intended Path of Vehicle, Weight Transfer, Mazda “GVC maximizes tire performance by focusing on the vertical load on the tires. The moment the driver startsto turn the steering wheel, GVC controls engine drive torque to generate a deceleration G-force, therebyshifting load to the front wheels. This increases front-wheel tire grip, enhancing the vehicle’s turn-inresponsiveness. Thereafter, when the driver maintains a constant steering angle, GVC immediately recovers engine drivetorque, which transfers load to the rear wheels, enhancing vehicle series of load transfers extracts much more grip from the front and rear tires, improving vehicleresponsiveness and stability according to the driver's intentions.”Mazda ENG

Good news Mazda, a company that always seems to be doing a little more for those of us who appreciate driving dynamics, will deploy its newest piece of technology, called G-Vectoring Control GVC, as a standard feature in all trim levels for 2017 model year Mazda6 and Mazda3 products. Eventually, GVC, an advanced form of chassis management, will be standard on every Mazda I explain how GVC works, though, it helps to remember that Mazda really does see itself as a company of enthusiasts building cars for enthusiasts. It has made hero cars, the fantastic little MX-5 and performance RX models, but its entire lineup drives and handles a little better than similar models from Toyota, Honda, or Nissan. General Motors and Ford, as well, for that matter. Full disclosure I know the company sees itself as a bunch of enthusiasts because I worked at Mazda headquarters in Hiroshima from 2002 to 2005. I saw it up close. The Mazda people are always carrying on about Jinba Ittai—the idea of horse and rider as one—but it's not just idle talk. They go after it. Mazda is the only Japanese automaker to hinge its throttle pedals to the floor, not hung from above as is common practice, in all their vehicles. Why? Better control, a more linear response. To Mazda, that matters. To people that care about driving, that matters. The new G-Vectoring Control technology is a bit like a throttle pedal hinged on the floor, another small step forward in Mazda's march to even better driving dynamics. So what does it do? MazdaThe physics behind GVC are pretty simple To achieve the car's natural cornering posture, you increase the vertical load on the front tires by triggering a slight deceleration. Done right, this forward pitch longitudinal g-force, is very natural and something you may already do on a race track or canyon road—breathe the throttle to prepare for a fast corner, help the front tires get the car into the corner more smoothly. Breathing the throttle or brushing the brakes will create noticeable longitudinal g-force. You and your passengers can feel the car pitch forward. But what if that longitudinal g-force was more subtle and happening nearly every time you turned the wheel? That's what Mazda asked. And kept asking for the past eight years while hunting an answer. Engineers initially went down the path of lightly—very lightly—applying brakes every time the driver turned the wheel, but that was an impossible solution too slow to react and not natural, mainly. There were other issues. It was a dead end. This content is imported from youTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web it chased development work on an electric Mazda2 known as a Demio in Japan, creating a way to slightly reduce torque output of the electric motor with each steering input, neatly marrying longitudinal g-force created by torque reduction with lateral g-force created by steering input. And that was the breakthrough using the powertrain to improve chassis dynamics. In the 2017 Mazda6 and Mazda3, the GVC system is essentially monitoring three parameters vehicle speed, throttle position, and rate of steering wheel rotation. Turn the steering wheel even the smallest amount and the system goes to work, reacting in less than 50 milliseconds, minutely reducing engine torque by retarding spark timing. The result is an increased vertical load on the front SegalAt maximum, the system will deliver .05 g of deceleration, enough to generate a measure of longitudinal g-force but generally below the threshold of human perception. F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, a super human, may feel it. This moment of longitudinal g-force, married to the lateral g-force created by steering input, is where Mazda says the magic happens. The result a more natural vehicle cornering posture for improved turn-in performance. Does it work? Well, yes. But you have to go to the data to see it. Mazda let us drive a Mazda6 rigged with a GVC "on-off" switch. In production, the system will be invisible, part of the software package and with no "off" switch. We drove a number of different scenarios including a simple parking-lot oval—two tight, constant-radius turns connected by short straights—at speeds between 20 and 35 mph with cruise control switched on to deliver a constant speed. With the GVC system on, the data showed less steering wheel the GVC system on, the data showed less steering wheel movement, indicating the initial turn-in moment for each maneuver was more precise and needed less mid-maneuver correction. And that's the goal improved steering performance at nearly all speeds and in nearly every condition. On slippery surfaces, the difference is more noticeable. Mazda is quick to point out GVC is not a torque vectoring system. Technically, torque vectoring from Acura, Audi, Ford, and the like are "active yaw control" systems. They help a car rotate by altering torque delivered to a single wheel. In a left-hand turn, for example, the hybrid Acura NSX will instruct the electric motor powering its front-right wheel to add more torque, pushing the vehicle to the left and into the corner. Morgan Segal Done correctly, torque vectoring can be wonderful. But Mazda does not embrace the solution, as it finds it unnatural and disruptive to the purity of their driving dynamics. Further, torque vectoring systems are often set up to help only at higher speeds. This is not to discount torque vectoring—not at all. It's just not a solution Mazda loves. It went its own path. G-Vectoring Control, Mazda believes, is a pure solution and can improve dynamic feel with every steering input at nearly ever speed. The only time G-Vectoring Control is not activated by steering movement is when the driver is completely off throttle. GVC is a unique solution and, more to the point, it personifies Mazda. In the same way Honda will constantly hunt for another 5 millimeters of cargo space in back of an HR-V, Mazda will pursue every incremental improvement in driving pleasure. To Mazda, that's the righteous pursuit. And what makes Mazda very Mazda.

Let’s face it The current automotive climate breeds lazy drivers see automatic cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and the decreasing availability of manual transmissions. So it seems incumbent upon us to celebrate genuine advancements that improve a driver’s ability to actually control a car with one’s own appendages, whether going fast on a racetrack or taking the family to the beach. There’s an interesting new one over at Mazda, where the driving forecast is brand from Hiroshima ranks remarkably high on the overall fun-to-drive scale, especially considering its size and resources. The Mazda 3 and the MX-5 Miata reside on the current 10Best Cars list and the Mazda 6 is a previous winner. The company’s SUVs drive like cars, and its interiors deliver visual punch a weight-class above their prices. In short, Mazda cares about making cars that people actually find enjoyable to drive themselves, which is why we flew to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, outside of Monterey, California, to go around the track at a mere 30 mph. Mazda wouldn’t even tell us what G-Vectoring Control GVC, the technology it planned to showcase, actually was before letting us sample it in the 2017-spec Mazda day started with laps of an impromptu oval in the parking lot at a blistering 20 mph. An engineer would switch the GVC on and off from the passenger seat. At first, GVC just feels as if it makes the steering a little heftier. But after a few of these cruise-controlled laps while hugging a line of pylons, we realized that turn-in is smoother and rarely did we have to correct our driving we were still in the dark about what GVC actually does. Given the name, you might expect it to be some kind of torque vectoring, or steering the car by controlling differential torque delivery between the inside and outside wheels in a corner, which is analogous to how tanks turn. But that’s not what GVC is doing. Mazda finally explained that the important part of GVC is the G, or as you see it frequently, g. By closely monitoring the speed of the driver’s steering-wheel inputs, GVC tells the engine to ever-so-slightly reduce torque. This produces an imperceptible deceleration, only g in the most extreme cases. By way of comparison, lifting off the throttle in a typical car results in about g of deceleration. The tiny change generates a small shift in load to the front axle, which tightens everything in the front suspension and steering system, removing compliance in bushings and dampers and resulting in improved steering response. It is remarkable how such a tiny influence can contribute such a dramatic change. Engineers hesitate to quote a lb-ft figure, but they did confirm that GVC reduces engine torque by a single-digit percentage, usually by retarding the timing. At a steady 20 or 30 mph, the 6’s might be putting out 20 lb-ft, so even 9 percent would be less than 2 lb-ft whole project was eight years in the making and it developed out of an extensive study of how humans move and how, when controlling cars, drivers make similar movements and react to g forces. After proving the concept with an EV—used because electric motors allow ultra-fine control of incremental torque delivery—Mazda had to wait for its range of Skyactiv engines to reach the mainstream before developing the technology for production cars. Mazda’s newest engines have granular and rapidly responsive control over torque output. Creating the slight deceleration is one thing, but getting it to happen in a small amount of time— seconds—so that the driver and passengers wouldn’t notice, is the real key to making GVC appear seamless to GVC mimics techniques, like “breathing” the throttle or left-foot braking into a corner, that race and rally drivers use to generate more front-wheel grip and get their competition cars to turn, only it’s extremely subtle, never felt or obvious. While going fast is always a hoot, GVC is more of a comfort- and confidence-builder than anything else. It will not improve skidpad grip or shave seconds off of any driver’s fastest lap explaining what GVC does, Mazda had us lap Mazda Raceway at 30 mph, hugging the inside edge of one corner to stay on the same line while an engineer in the passenger seat switched the GVC system on and off, as we’d been doing before on the parking lot oval. From the driver’s seat, there are fewer corrections needed, particularly when making quick changes in direction, when a driver might otherwise crank in too much steering angle. With GVC at work, you’re less likely to overshoot your steering input because there’s less delay caused by the previously mentioned compliance that’s designed into the front suspension and steering. That compliance is there to improve ride quality and reduce noise racers often replace the bushings and mounts with stiffer elements to improve responsiveness, trading away comfort in the process. From the passenger seat of a Mazda 6 with GVC, we clearly could see other drivers making fewer small steering corrections. This limits head toss and torso movements significantly for all occupants. Fewer corrections also reduce driver fatigue, again, improving also simulated a narrow-lane construction zone using tall cones and Jersey barriers on Mazda Raceway’s front straight. Many drivers never notice it, but going dead straight requires that they make a lot of little steering corrections. With GVC turned on, these corrections become less extreme and fewer in number, again reducing driver really difficult part for Mazda is conveying this information to the car-buying public. The finer points of how GVC works will be lost on most customers, which is not really a problem in itself. All they need to understand is that GVC improves an already class-leading steering system, making for a better-driving car. GVC comes standard on both the 2017 Mazda 3 and 6, and we expect to see it proliferate across the rest of the Mazda lineup within a few years. The Mazda MX-5 Miata is one model that may never get GVC because its suspension has less compliance and a lot of anti-lift baked into its geometry. But we have no doubt that Mazda will find other ways to make that car even more fun to drive in the coming Colwell is Car and Driver's executive editor, who covers new cars and technology with a keen eye for automotive nonsense and with what he considers to be great car sense, which is a humblebrag.

Akofunguje systém Mazda G Vectoring Control na suchej ceste a aký má vplyv na komfort posádky As part of the annual Mazda Zoom Fest, the Japanese marque updates the smallest car in their lineup that future owners will love. Bermaz Auto Philippines BAP, the local distributor of Mazda vehicles, brings in the new Mazda2. The aesthetic changes are subtle but performace updates are huge, bringing out the true joy in driving. The new Mazda2 Sedan and Hatchback now come with G-Vectoring Control GVC, which is part of the brand’s series of new-generation vehicle dynamics control technology. It will join the Mazda3 Sedan and Hatchback, the Mazda6 Sedan and Sports Wagon, and the all-new CX-5 in Mazda’s SkyActiv lineup that have this new science. GVC uses the engine’s torque to distribute power among the wheels based on steering input. By optimizing the vehicle load among the wheels, it enhances the car’s handling and riding comfort. In short, driving will more fun and comfortable, as there will be less to non-existent body roll when making turns. You can read more about GVC here and see its exact advantage based on tests done by Mazda. With the new Mazda2 with G-Vectoring Control, we doubt you’ll allow anyone borrow your car or drive it for you. But that’s the beauty with Mazda cars – it will bring out the driver in you and will make you want to get behind the steering wheel more instead of riding as a passenger. Other updates on performance and comfort include changes in the characteristics of the electric power steering and suspension. In addition, engine noise isolation from the bonnet and windshield are also enhanced to increase comfort inside the cabin. Another thing you’ll get when you buy the new Mazda2 is BAP’s YOJIN3 TOTAL CARE package that treats the owners as VIPs. How? New owners are entitled to free 3-year or 60,000 km periodic maintenance service includes parts, oil, and labor, 3-year roadside assistance and concierge service, and 3-year or 100,000 km warranty. The Mazda2 will stay as good-looking as ever with its KODO Soul of Motion design, however, there's a subtle design change in the turn lamps on the side mirrors of all variants. The fog lamps also receive updates; they are now LED and decorated with chrome bezels. Inside, the steering wheel is also slightly redesigned across the lineup, as well as silver and brown accents on the dashboard. Still powering the Mazda2 range is the 108-hp SkyActiv-G engine, coupled to a SkyActiv-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission. No changes, yes, but as the saying goes if it isn’t broken, why fix it? Best part of this update is that the prices are the same for the new Mazda2 Sedan and Hatchback. The Sedan SkyActiv R and V+ variants have price tags of P975,000 and P895,000, respectively, while the Hatchback SkyActiv V+ can be had for P865,000. If you want the Soul Red or Machine Gray color options, you just need to add P16,800 on top of the SRP.

While it is mostly known as “the” Mazda technology that aids in the driving experience of the brand’s cars, there is little understanding on what it does, and why it is a highlight for Mazda. In this article, we will break down the points of GVC – from its benefits to misconceptions. How did G-Vectoring Control come about? The word Jinba-Ittai’ is a saying that is at the heart of every Mazda. First seen in the brochure for the first-generation Mazda MX-5, Jinba-Ittai’ basically translates to “the feeling of connectedness between a rider and his horse”. When put in context of the brand – it basically translates to harmony between a car and its driver. Marrying the Jinba-Ittai’ concept plus the focus on being innovative and striving to be better, GVC was introduced to improve chassis performance by controlling the engine output; but developed based on Mazda’s human-centred development philosophy. What is G-Vectoring Control? To put it simply, G-Vectoring Control is an electronic system that ties the power steering and engine control computer together. When the steering wheel is turned, GVC reduces engine power slightly. The resulting effect pitches the front of the vehicle forward, putting more load on the tyres and allowing the car respond directly. All this translates to a more stable vehicle for both driver and passengers. What are the benefits of GVC? There are several, but the most important is that GVC is highly versatile and can be deployed in any Skyactiv Mazda’s latest technologies that encompass the brand’s engine, chassis, transmission and car body model, irrespective of drive system or vehicle type. Additionally, since GVC is a software control system, there isn’t any increase in weight. However, the main points are Increase in driver confidence due to reduction in steering corrections with GVC. Passengers feel more comfortable because GVC smoothens the G force transitions that suppresses the swaying of head and body. The enhanced handling and stability on various road surfaces including rain and snow gives a greater sense of security to the driver. Less slip equals more traction and driving confidence. Why is vehicle control important? “If you want to get a driver’s license, you can go to a driving school and get basic driving lessons. But those lessons do not educate you on the importance of vehicle control and ways to improve control. For instance, driving instructors do not teach you on controlling a vehicle for better or more efficient driving. GVC ensures the vehicle controls its dynamics on an extremely minute level, not capable by drivers themselves, so that driving efficiency is significantly improved,” said Daisuke Umetsu, vehicle development division, Mazda. Does this mean that GVC is a standalone technology to improve vehicle dynamics? No, it isn’t. Because GVC ties both steering input and engine to optimise load control, the technology could not have been achieved without the brand’s Skyactiv engine. Both of Mazda’s Skyactiv-D diesel and Skyactiv-G petrol engines are capable of extremely fast and precise control, which realises optimum torque control requested by the driver’s steering input. In simple terms, this means that the engineering that has gone into the suspension, body, seats and steering all come together with the system, which is needed to carry the load and reach the road surface. The all-new Mazda 3 now comes with G-Vectoring Control Plus. What does the update do? “On top of shifting the weight to improve grip and make the car behave more naturally, G-Vectoring Control Plus also works when you’re coming out of a corner. We apply a tiny amount of brake to the outside front tyre to help straighten the car as you exit a corner,” explains Dave Coleman, vehicle development engineer at Mazda R&D.

By Rianna Thurling 15 November 2021 Along with the release of the Mazda3 and Mazda6, Mazda has unveiled their latest advancement in driving technology – G-Vectoring Control. Inspired by the philosophy of Jinb a-Ittai horse and rider as one’, Mazda has endeavoured to give drivers even greater control and feedback when braking, accelerating and turning. How does G-Vectoring Control Work? This first addition to the SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS series offers drivers greater control over the car by adjusting the lateral and longitudinal acceleration forces together. In doing so, the engine torque is adjusted in response to steering inputs and controls the vertical loading on each tyre. When the car begins turning, the vertical load is shifted to the front tyres by generating a deceleration G-force. As a result, the front-wheel grip is increased, improving the vehicle’s responsiveness. If a consistent steering angle is maintained, the G-Vectoring Control recovers the engine torque, transferring the load to the rear wheels to enhance stability. These small adjustments offer the driver greater confidence in the car’s ability to follow their intentions, reducing the need for corrections. However, the subtlety of G-Vectoring Control means there is zero driver or passenger discomfort. The Benefits 1 Increased Driver Confidence The innovative G-Vectoring Control Systems allows drivers to feel confident that the car will follow their intended line precisely. This applies not only to turning, but also to the minute changes in direction caused by road surface irregularities. The slight force redistribution made by the G-Vectoring Control greatly reduces the need for driver corrections. 2 Reduced Fatigue The need to constantly make minor – often unconscious – corrections while driving is one of the key factors that contributes to driver fatigue. On long journeys, the reduced need for corrections created by the G-Vectoring Control means drivers will feel more alert. 3 Increased Comfort On top of reduced fatigue, the G-Vectoring Control System creates a smoother transition between G-forces. This reduces body and head sway, providing a more comfortable ride. 4 Greater Peace of Mind The ability of the G-Vectoring Control to enhance both handling and stability simultaneously also provides improved control in adverse conditions. When driving in rain, or on ice, snow or poor road conditions, G-Vectoring Control helps to stabilise the vehicle and improve the tyre grip. This increased stability will give drivers peace of mind in any conditions. 5 No Additional Weight As G-Vectoring Control is a software-based technology, it requires no additional space or weight. Instead, it utilises Mazda’s SKYACTIV-engines, SKYACTIV-transmissions and SKYACTIV-chassis to create this improved G-force distribution. G-Vectoring Control is available now in both the Mazda3, Mazda6 and all-new Mazda CX-5.
