Mazda Motor Corp.’s updated Mazda3 compact car will be the first vehicle to offer the carmaker’s new G-Vectoring Control (GVC) electronic chassis assist technology.
The 2017 Mazda3 is being launched this month in Japan and will bow later this year in the U.S. Styling changes include a revised front fascia with new headlights, a new lower bumper and smaller LED fog lights.
GVC, which is part of Mazda’s SkyActiv Vehicle Dynamics technologies, varies engine torque based on steering wheel angle and vehicle speed to optimize weight distribution between the front and rear wheels. This allows a vehicle to maintain a steady cornering speed and reduces the need for drivers to make steering corrections, according to the carmaker.
