2011 Mazda 5 Review

In the fall of 2010, the new Mazda 5 hits showrooms in Europe as the successor to the first generation of Mazda compact multi-activity vehicle (C-MAV). The original model was popular with families looking for superior functionality in a. Compact and safe from the market launch in 2005, Mazda has found 5.5 million owners worldwide, 175,000 of them in Europe. He also won 37 vehicle price, and always has been voted one of the most reliable and safe small car in Europe.

The new Mazda 5 was developed from the outset to carry on this tradition of success in a fascinating combination of a stylish exterior, high security and functionality of the interior, which goes beyond what people expect from the C-MAV. Not only is it a brand new look and feel like a sporty sedan and improve the driving experience, but also has two rear sliding doors, large rear-door opening, leg room is of 2 and 3 plan, which is one of the largest segment, and more comfortable seats, the tools that are easier to use, and flexibility, and high driving capability. This adds a quieter interior, new materials and fabrics, and an attractive operating costs of new energy sources that provide enjoyment, along with two-digit fuel economy and reduces CO2 emissions compared to the previous Mazda 5 These qualities - and a long list of equipment - to make a new Mazda 5 in order to better meet the demands of European households with an active lifestyle.
 


Mazda Recycling Program

Currently, about 80 percent (by weight) of ingredients, at the end of life vehicles are recycled Mazda mostly metal parts. Efforts continue to raise the sum is easier to recycle plastic, glass and other materials that make up the remaining 20 percent. Plastic parts are marked according to ISO material, giving the name of separation easy, but it can be easily recycled resin is polypropylene (PP) is used to make the front and rear bumpers, instrument panels and panels of the cabins.

A new dynamic flow

The all-new Mazda 5 is a completely new exterior, which uses the Nagare flow design, which won design awards for concept cars Mazda. These factors, coupled with the new head of Mazda, a "hidden" D-pillar, new horizontal taillights give it a call that is unique in the C-MAV segment. Inside, the Mazda 5 a new instrument panel, steering wheel and center console, with new seats, materials, colors and seat fabric for a better quality feel.
 


The new external

Mazda MPV adds new face to the family brand that not only makes you stronger-looking and athletic, but also improves the aerodynamics and engine cooling performance. The five-point grille is much larger than the bumper lights with new more aesthetic and more sophisticated. Below these openings are new integrated fog depth in the bumper. This creates a thick lower lip, which rises along the outer edge of the fascia and on the wing. Fender taking the movement created by the fog light rim that covers the wheel in response to a flow of waves, as Nagare character line that moves the vehicle side and rear slide right under the railway undertaking.

This is a unique articulation of the side panels is based on the patterns formed when the wind blows the water. It integrates the front bumper area of ??the sides and rear of the vehicle so that, when combined with the light on the edge of the door at the bottom, is a sensation of movement even when the vehicle is stationary. "Hidden" the D-pillar - formed to cover with glass - horizontal headlamps and to improve the integrated effect of the flow front return and make a new Mazda 5 and a single external C-MAV segment, and unmistakably Mazda.
 


Wheels and exterior colors

New Nagare flow-aluminum / alloy wheel design (16 and 17 inches) are introduced with twisted spokes, which will give them a sporty three-dimensionality, which promotes the flow patterns of the silhouette Mazda 5.

There is also a 15-inch steel wheels, full wheel cover. There are eight exterior colors for customers to choose the new blue Clearwater.

New Zone front passenger, new materials and tissue

The new fascia design is imported into a brand new Mazda 5, which makes the front passenger area seem larger than before, and gives the interior of the high style and sportiness. The cap driver group, for example, is now a major, and flows into a arched shape the outer edge of the center console of an integrated display quality. The new dashboard is now a white light, and a large display of information is located at the top of the center console. Center console has a new frameless, open-triangle shape, which connects to the dashboard, and a completely new audio panel design of the chrome knobs. Chrome plating is also a new gear knob, air conditioning vents and door handles. Gauge wheel, door panel, turn, door trim, and a knob to turn on the central panel is a high quality finish in matt silver.
 


A new black fabric is presented to a feeling of even higher quality. Five seats and seven seats in class postal two different drugs and a model of gradual small block in the middle section. Medium and high quality fabric seat has vertical wavy lines that express Nagare flow, and piping synthetic leather and trimmed with a dark blue tone. Leather seats are also available with perforations in the central section of the file, and red piping and stitching, which gives a sporty look.

The ideal family car

With a wheelbase of 2750 mm, a width of 1,750 and a total height of 1,615 mm, the new Mazda 5 offers the perfect package for up to seven people comfortably, while providing excellent maneuverability. The new model is 80 mm longer than the current model, 4585 mm, due to its highly sculpted front design provides superior performance aerodynamics and improved protection of pedestrians.
 


User-friendly

Two sliding doors in the rear, 130 mm wide, 439 mm stage only the earth, and one of the largest segment to open the rear doors (686 mm wide, 1083 mm high) allows easy access in Mazda 5 indoors, even if you are holding a child in her arms. Electric rear doors can be opened automatically with the key remote central locking and a button on the dashboard, or manually using the handles on the doors. The driver has an optimized shape and the establishment of the headquarters of the hood for wide field of view, which makes city driving safer and easier parking. And, of course, the steering wheel is tilt and telescopic.

Instrumentation has been optimized for easy and intuitive to use. Two meters butterfly has a new air control that displays the current position of the change, and notify the driver to shift gears according to driving conditions more suitable - the fuel consumption and steady performance. Center console audio control buttons - change the disk / class, folders and file / Track - located in the center of the audio panel and the chrome molding for the right to sign for ease of use. Knobs are of high quality chrome rim, and the buttons are grouped by their function, so that they can be easily identified while driving. New display board information, which is located high on the dashboard to reduce eye movement required to read while driving. You can scroll through the screens (the computer and audio) is also easy to use by pressing a button on the steering wheel. Armrest and front passenger will be introduced.
 


The driver and front passenger seat armrest is extended (15 mm) for better support arm.

One of the most comfortable vehicle segments

The new Mazda 5 car offers room row most generous in the second and third leg in the C-MAV segment. The second row of seats can be adjusted to an angle of 50 degrees on sitting to the right, and can be adjusted by dragging to 270 mm. The raised floor in the rear has been designed to provide two rows back, a clear view forward and diagonally to a ride that is better than a car flatfloor. There are backups larger front driver and front passenger and driver and front passenger seat center armrest is 15 mm wider. The front seat cushion center of the second row is now 50 mm thick and extended his record for 50 mm, making it more comfortable to sit in. The ventilation for the new Mazda 5 is the highest of the previous generation, which improves cabin comfort in cold weather or hot and the benefit of rear passenger vents under the front seats.
 


The interior is now quieter and more comfortable at high speeds. Wind noise is reduced for example by designing the crescent-shaped outline on the back of the hood so that air can circulate freely here without hitting the windows or their weapons directly. The shapes of the new A-pillars, reducing turbulence and wind noise from that source. To reduce noise transmitted to the road vibration characteristics of the interior have been optimized suspension, the frame around the door hinge pillars filled with foam insulation to block out noisy new tires and extra insulation laid between the ceiling and trim the roof panels to absorb all the road noise. Hardness generated by the air intake system was also lowered by moving the air ducts of wings to wrap the section of fresh air intake.
 


It also increased the size of the air filter and the rationalization of the air intake system. These measures reduce wind noise by 10 percent and a quiet and comfortable drive.

Convenience and storage Families

The all-new Mazda 5 has room for up to seven people and the seat can be folded easily for a variety of seating configurations - a two-seater with cargo space to carry big things, four-seater with a boot ideal for summer vacation, seven seats for friends and family. Safety belts three-point-row seats allow the second center in the assembly of the three seats needed. The third-row seats are 50/50 in the design and can be independent fell flat on the floor or back with ease through the seat belt attached.

2nd row Karakuri Mazda only function. Reset the front left seat cushion allows you to save the middle seat cushion into the space below. You can lower the seat down center armrest with a large and comfortable, or you can bend a practical Karakuri box - located under the seat cushion on the right - in the middle of space. This is useful because it has a large tray on top and a net below which may contain elements of a family in need while driving. And when the Karakuri box is in use, a storage of 6.3 liters is available under the cushion of the right of additional storage space. When the middle seat is folded to the side of the seat, leave a space large enough to allow access to the third row, which means you do not have to first remove a child seat installed in a seat 2nd row out and the tip of the seat forward to return.
 


Overall, the new Mazda 5 is a huge amount of storage options, including an eight-liter sub-frame boxes, six cup holders, two bottleholders and 11 - liter glove box. In addition, two pop-ups at the tables behind the front seats, cup holders.

Team

The new Mazda 5 makes all of this convenience and comfort even more interesting with a long list of standard features and optional. For example, a brand new Mazda 5 can be equipped with low-cost navigation system features, such as an LCD touch screen 14.7 cm, a Bluetooth � hands-free audio control for an external microphone, an integrated CD player + radio , and includes an iPod �, iPhone � (via a cable connection), and MP3-CD compatibility. Its 4 GB memory, 99 percent coverage of the major European markets such as Russia, with the latest maps for 18 European languages.

Standard features adjustable electrical mirrors, manual air conditioning, height adjustable driver seat, electric windows front and rear one-touch driver's window, power locks, safety contact sensor for sliding doors, power six airbags, ABS four-channel electrical force distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, an emergency stop signal (ESS), traction control (TCS) and DSC. Also standard is an auxiliary jack that lets you play MP3 players with car audio system and a new fourspeaker radio digital signal processor (DSP) reduces noise and unwanted radio dual tuner (for Europe only ) that ensures clear radio reception everywhere.
 


Available are rear parking sensors, heated seats, a 6-disc CD, a FIX-EQ audio that automatically optimizes sound characteristics according to the Interior, Bluetooth � audio plays MP3 players Wireless, Bluetooth � telephone system with voice recognition and steering wheel better, a pressure monitoring system (TPMS: 17 "only) and xenon headlights - among many other functions.

Double-digit reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

The new engine has been updated with 1.8 MZR petrol engines line-up of all new Mazda 5 Mazda MZR petrol engine 2.0 DISI-stop with the technology will replace the current 2.0-liter gasoline, and produces a double-digit decreases the consumption of fuel and CO2 emissions.

Fuel line now includes the fuel economy of the i-stop motor

Mazda MZR 2.0 DISI gasoline produces new 110kW/150 maximum horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 191 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm with a top speed of 194 km / h for a lot of fun to drive.

The Mazda engine also features start / stop i-stop system which saves fuel by turning off the engine when the car is stopped at a red light or in traffic, and then automatically restarts when the driver presses the pedal clutch to drive again. Mazda i-stop is unique because it uses a "starter-Combustion help +" system that uses the combustion engine to restart the engine, not just from an electric motor and conventional start / stop systems. This initiates restart in just 0.35 seconds, which is almost two times faster than conventional systems to stop the start-stop, and makes it safe, reliable and hassle free. For the new Mazda 5, i-stop control logic was changed again, and now the system shuts down the engine for an extended period of A / C is on, ensure that all auxiliary systems and equipment continue to operate normally during the motor phase loss. This means that the occupants of the cabin does not suffer the loss of comfort or convenience, due to the system.
 


Mazda i-stop system

I stop the system of the new Mazda 5 2.0-liter direct-injection gasoline is activated automatically when the car is started. If the driver so wishes, can remove the system switch on the dashboard.

The system is not visible when you run after first boot. Only when the car first comes to a halt and the driver depresses the clutch pedal is in neutral and releasing the clutch at idle the car makes the engine stops automatically. A green light on the driver cluster shows that the system start-stop engine shut-off began, as expected, which saves fuel when the vehicle is stationary. To continue driving, the driver depresses the clutch pedal and the engine restarts automatically.

Mazda i-stop is not the change in other systems currently on the market. It is a completely unique solution developed exclusively by Mazda, who needs an electric motor only at early and again.

And 'then activates the advantages of direct injection technology to start the engine quickly and reliably.

When the new Mazda 5 is stopped, the engine control unit of the motor is stopped until the amount of air cylinder of the compression stroke and expansion-stroke pistons are the same.

The driver does not notice, because it takes only a split second, put the engine to restart the ideal location. During this process, single-cylinder internal combustion engine remains in its working position.

Start the process begins when the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder this atomized then ignited, causing the piston to move down. At that time, start the engine is slightly increase the pace of the engine. Both of these events together to start very quickly to start the engine.

The decision does not use a power of the combustion engine was made after the restart, the R & D, Mazda engineers are carefully measured how much fuel is needed to re-start. They recognized that the power used for burning alone again, not only require a careful analysis of the positioning of the piston before the engine cut-off, it would also need a complete cleaning of gases from the combustion chamber unburned. This means the engine will continue to run a little 'longer before the engine cut-off, which would cost an extra fuel. Support the electric motor starting problems, this could be avoided.

Coordinate this type of mechanism restrike electric pulse to restart requires extremely sensitive sensors and engine management. Mazda i-stop system monitors the position of the piston of each cylinder and calculates a split second before restarting the engine cylinder cut exactly what will be most effective to restart later.

Conventional systems to identify which cylinder is the combustion-stroke crankshaft is rotated by an electric motor start requiring additional energy and slows down the restart. Mazda system, on the other hand, the starter motor to restart immediately restart a measured time only 0.35 seconds, two times faster than conventional systems.

This is also why the new Mazda 5 2.0 DISI liter gasoline engine is so smooth and quiet when it restarts. Use an electric starter is kept to a minimum to restart the engine without loss of reaction time, no vibration and noise.
 


As a result of combining technology with DISI i-stop, the new Mazda 5 is lively and fun to drive while using just 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 km, which is 13% less and produces only 159 g / km of CO2 - 15 percent less than the same displacement engine it replaces.

Updated 1.8-liter gasoline

An updated version of the gasoline engine remains popular 1.8-liter engine in the line-up of the new Mazda fifth

It adopts an electric throttle control valve fuel consumption and the feeling of performance. It uses an engine block aluminum alloy with light pistons and connecting rods for low vibration and linear driving feel. It produces 85 kW/115 PS of maximum power at 5300 rpm and 165 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. It is precisely coupled to the six-speed manual transmission with more friction, which contributes to lower fuel consumption of the motor 4 percent (7.2 liters per 100 km) CO2 emissions by 6 percent ( 168 g / km) and meets Euro V

Moving the air intake housing section helps you reduce the temperature of the air intake and provides greater energy efficiency. Improved engine cooling by extending the width of the radiator 25 mm allows fans to operate at a lower frequency.

Optimizing the control of the butterfly and the intelligent consumption of hitting help limit reduced fuel control.

Driving dynamics and safety

In developing the new model, Mazda focused on achieving a "Feel Harmonized Dynamic Driving" (named Toitsu-May) and the result is a remarkable linearity, or accelerating the rotation and stop giving the both driver and passengers with a comfortable ride feel. In addition, the new Mazda 5 is designed with more strength steel and ultra high reinforcements to be lighter, stiffer and more impact resistant than its predecessor. Engineers added a new suspension, steering and aerodynamic components, providing a more linear steering feel for more control and predictability.

In addition, the new Mazda 5 is the first global model that was introduced with the Mazda brake system Override.

Better body and the stiffness of the suspension for optimum handling

Chassis engineers improved the local rigidity in places where it would be easier to control the vehicle.

The extent of cuts for the D-pillars and tailgate upper corner radius of the opening of the tailgate, which reduces the movement of the tailgate opening of 17 percent from the previous Mazda fifth welds extra points were added to the ramp portion of the top shock front and the bottom of the B-pillars, and a closed section structure was adopted for the amounts back to increase the stiffness of the waist line.
 


The provision suspending the new Mazda 5 uses MacPherson strut front and multilink rear suspension, shock twintube front and separate high-speed mono-tube shock absorbers and springs rebound in full back. To achieve a more linear feel engine from the outgoing model, introduced new engineering rubber joints in the section of the steering shaft joint and stabilizer mounts, shock absorbers and modified rings for both front and rear suspension, and develops through the spring rate. These efforts provide a smooth response during acceleration, deceleration and cornering, and improve straight line stability when driving at highway speeds.

Aerodynamic new

The front end of new design of the Mazda 5, not only sets it apart from other trucks, but also contributes to aerodynamic performance is exceptionally good for a C-MAV. A new front spoiler lips, a flat baffle engine secrets of the tires and work together to channel air under the vehicle effectively, which helps keep fuel consumption down. Vehicle design is also optimized to improve the balance of the lift on the front and rear. These measures provide the all-new Mazda 5 a drag coefficient of just 0.30, among the lowest in the C-MAV segment.

Passive safety - improved impact strength

The all-new Mazda 5 is an evolution of the security package which has been the remarkable current Mazda 5 is one of the safest in Europe minivans. To achieve this, safety engineers developed geometric absorption Mazda Motion (MAGMA) system to create a new body with strong structures Triple H in the floor, sides and roof, then added additional body reinforcements to do even better absorb impact energy in the world behind accidents.

The cabin is now stronger than ever for new reinforcements in the roof, steel, presented to the center pillars and a high tensile strength steel side sills approved. Its doors are now stronger and less likely to break the effect. Their edges on the top of the plant as closed, and the special screws inserted in front of and behind the sliding doors in a reliable way to keep them closed during the impact. Side door "two impact beams were recently identified and their structures have changed from the previous two hats hat ultra-high steel, so I'm still taking shape. Also new are the seats of the Mazda 5 large energy-absorbing cushions inside doors and door trim, and the structure of the armrest on the door - which now has a collapsible design - which reduces the shock to passengers in case of side impact.

The second part of the dossier row has been strengthened as well and are now better able to resist the advance of luggage in a frontal collision when the third row seat is down or not present (Europe also offers a version five places).

New Mazda 5 is also safer if the back of the head impact, whether the new structure is better to absorb energy and protect the fuel tank. Frame surrounding the reservoir is of high quality steel, two plates each with a different thickness, and the elements of the frame are more direct, and is optimized for section.

Inside, passengers are protected by a passive safety package, with six airbags (front, side and curtain airbags), seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters for three front seats, a crush on the brake pedal and horizontal type shock absorption motion control design of the seats of the spine, and head restraints that help reduce whiplash in case of rear impact, ISOFIX child safety seat in the back of the second row, and soft, absorbing shock interior surfaces.

Active safety - touch sensor new doors and Park Assist

Using the new Mazda 5 The two electric sliding rear doors is now even safer with the first installation of a touch sensor strip that runs along the door. If sufficient force is applied to the band by the body of a person or another object and cause the band to distort, even slightly, the sliding stops instantly changes direction and returns to the open position again. New Mazda MPV is safer and easier to use in the city, with the introduction of a park. It uses four sensors in the rear bumper, which continuously measure the distance to an object when parking in reverse.

The brake system of the new Mazda 5 was developed to help higher deceleration and - when combined with the updated suspension, steering and body that provide a more linear steering feel - to contribute to greater predictability and control . The new Mazda 5 is equipped with large disc brakes 300 mm ventilated front (278 mm for 15-inch wheels) and 302 mm and rear brakes (280 mm for 15-inch wheels), four-channel ABS, electronic brake distribution the force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, an emergency stop signal (ESS), traction control (TCS), six airbags and DSC.

Mazda Brake Override System
 


The all-new Mazda 5 will be launched globally with Mazda Brake Override System. This system always gives priority to the brake pedal to the accelerator must be used both simultaneously, so the vehicle can be brought to a safe stop.

Increased pedestrian safety

The all-new Mazda 5 has improved its protection of pedestrians even further by optimizing the structure of the steel reinforcement along the edge of the hood to be easily crushed when beaten. This is combined with enough space between the bonnet and the engine between the front bumper and front bumper reinforcement - making it absorb energy efficient - with an energy absorbing material on the hood and front bumper.
