Ultimately, Mazdas main points when discussing the new platform seemed to revolve around driver comfort, with emphasis on ride quality, noise, and the way the car communicates inputs to the drivers ass.
Mazda does this by using what it calls ring structures shown in the dotted green circles below The engineer also mentioned suspension and tire changes aimed at smoothly controlling energy transfer from the wheel to the body, as well as NVH changes like the 1. On top of that, Matsumoto told journalists that the body has been stiffened to reduce the transient response time between the input load on one damper, and the response load at the damper in the opposite corner.
Mazda also designed a new seat structure thats apparently able to quickly and smoothly transmit the energy input from vehicle body to the drivers pelvis.
Part of that involved designing the seat supports to maintain natural S curve of the spinal column by the erection of the drivers pelvis you can see that below. Matsumoto said that, in its effort to improve a driving feeling they call Jinba Ittai Connection between horse and rider, the company studied the human gait to establish a platform that optimizes human ability to balance. But the main points executive manager of vehicle development Hiroyuki Matsumoto stressed when talking about the new structure dealt with refinement. Frankfurt, I cant really say much about its improvement over the outgoing bones. Despite having driven some prototype next generation Mazda. In addition, Mazda discussed its all new platform, which is where well start before jumping into the exciting SPCCI engine goodness. Mazda brought executive officers, VPs and managers from its powertrain, vehicle development, and research and development teams to explain to journalists how the SKYACTIV X Spark Controlled Compression Ignition engine works, and why it matters. Full Disclosure Mazda wanted me to drive their SKYACTIV X prototype, so the company flew me to Frankfurt, Germany, put a nice roof over my head, and fed me delicious foods whose names had more umlauts and Scharfes Ss than I could count. I went to Germany to talk to Mazdas extremely nerdy engineers, and before I actually drove the thing, heres what I learned. Mazdas hotly anticipated SKYACTIV X Spark Controlled Compression Ignition engine has been described as the Holy Grail of gasoline motorssomething with diesel like fuel economy, but far better efficiency. Mazdas Holy Grail Of Gasoline Engines Is Completely Fascinating.
