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

[@dimekoza]

You just have to love Mazda!

My CX-3 is AMAZIN!!

[@valdius85]

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 !

[@ivan72087]

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

[@Rico-Tarek]

ivan72087 2019' model or 2020?

[@mindspinn311]

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.

Great video as always CarQuestion

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

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

[@bruhh_007_]

Nice ! Im planing to buy it in June.

[@vince7349]

hey nice wagon if they only could bring that to Canada

[@Crosshead1]

Come to Australia. We’ve had a Mazda6 wagon since 2002. Probably the best Mazda6 available.

[@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?

[@humbledbythepower6821]

Was that a Mazda 6 hatch!!??

[@cMethoDx]

I would snap up that Mazda6 wagon in a second! (Mazda Canada looking at you ;) )

[@valdius85]

Wagon. Available on some markets: AWD diesel on Japanese market :)

[@keponen331]

we dont need new algorithms, we need real permanent AWD

[@jaguar2164]

Is the same system that the Cx3?

[@CarQuestion]

Nope! Différent algorithm!

[@ukaszz.7841]

@@CarQuestion Will the CX-3 have the second generation AWD as the new 3 got?

[@apocalipsboy21]

Now imagine her without a slushmatic

[@NoFear4XJs]

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 :\

[@subazealand9158]

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.

[@CarQuestion]

We are talking about the car here! did you test it like we did?

[@subazealand9158]

@@CarQuestion haha I was talking the system in general. I haven't put my hands in this new 3, but in the CX-5 Turbo. That's why I said the "FWD feeling" on a SUV.

[@Crosshead1]

It might have something to with the fact that it’s a car, not a SUV. The 3 is for people who like to drive. SUVs are for people who need more practicality, dare I say less excitement.

[@svenandaas8781]

@@Crosshead1 I own a 2020 CX-9. The SUV is fun to drive, except for a wee bit of body roll, compared to the car. This is due to the higher center of gravity of the SUV.
